Release Notes - January 2026

Highlights​

January 2026 brings major upgrades across Qry: a professional IDE experience for notebooks and Lakeflow, Git Folders for version control, and unified permission management.

New: Git Folders​

Version control comes to Qry with Git Folders - unified Git integration for notebooks, pipelines, and jobs.

Key Features:

  • Version History: Track every change with full commit history
  • Remote Sync: Push/pull to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps
  • Branch Management: Create branches for safe experimentation
  • Conflict Resolution: Visual merge UI when teammates edit the same files
  • CI/CD Integration: Automate deployments with webhooks and APIs

Git Folders use a hybrid architecture: your database remains the source of truth for fast access, while Git provides versioning and collaboration. Changes are always saved to the database first, then synced to Git.

  • Multi-Tab Editing: Open multiple pipelines and jobs simultaneously
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Cmd+S to save, Cmd+Enter to validate, Cmd+P for quick open
  • Three-Panel Layout: File explorer, editor area, and contextual right panels
  • Git Integration: Version control your pipelines and jobs directly from the editor

New: Unified Permission Management​

Data access control is now integrated directly into User and Group management:

  • Group Permissions: Manage data access from the Group Management page
  • User Overrides: Grant individual permissions from User Accounts
  • SAP Module Support: Modules appear in the resource picker for SAP datasources
  • Permission Resolution: Clear view of inherited vs direct permissions

The separate "Data Access Control" page has been deprecated - all permissions are now managed from Users and Groups.
