Cloud Changelog#

Due to their cloud-hosted SaaS nature, Anaconda’s Cloud services, such as Package Security Manager, Notebooks, and Learning, do not have a traditional version history. Instead, we keep this chronological history of the platform and update it when significant changes have been made. The most recent changes are always listed at the top.
