## Significant Changes ## Stackdriver logging bugfix requires Google provider ``10.17.0`` or later (#38071) If you use Stackdriver logging, you must use Google provider version ``10.17.0`` or later. Airflow ``2.9.1`` now passes ``gcp_log_name`` to the ``StackdriverTaskHandler`` instead of ``name``, and this will fail on earlier provider versions. This fixes a bug where the log name configured in ``[logging] remove_base_log_folder`` was overridden when Airflow configured logging, resulting in task logs going to the wrong destination. ## Bug Fixes - Make task log messages include run_id (#39280) - Copy menu_item ``href`` for nav bar (#39282) - Fix trigger kwarg encryption migration (#39246, #39361, #39374) - Add workaround for datetime-local input in ``firefox`` (#39261) - Add Grid button to Task Instance view (#39223) - Get served logs when remote or executor logs not available for non-running task try (#39177) - Fixed side effect of menu filtering causing disappearing menus (#39229) - Use grid view for Task Instance's ``log_url`` (#39183) - Improve task filtering ``UX`` (#39119) - Improve rendered_template ``ux`` in react dag page (#39122) - Graph view improvements (#38940) - Check that the dataset<>task exists before trying to render graph (#39069) - Hostname was "redacted", not "redact"; remove it when there is no context (#39037) - Check whether ``AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC`` is set in ``check_authentication`` (#39012) - Move rendering of ``map_index_template`` so it renders for failed tasks as long as it was defined before the point of failure (#38902) - ``Undeprecate`` ``BaseXCom.get_one`` method for now (#38991) - Add ``inherit_cache`` attribute for ``CreateTableAs`` custom SA Clause (#38985) - Don't wait for DagRun lock in mini scheduler (#38914) - Fix calendar view with no DAG Run (#38964) - Changed the background color of external task in graph (#38969) - Fix dag run selection (#38941) - Fix ``SAWarning`` 'Coercing Subquery object into a select() for use in IN()' (#38926) - Fix implicit ``cartesian`` product in AirflowSecurityManagerV2 (#38913) - Fix problem that links in legacy log view can not be clicked (#38882) - Fix dag run link params (#38873) - Use async db calls in WorkflowTrigger (#38689) - Fix audit log events filter (#38719) - Use ``methodtools.lru_cache`` instead of ``functools.lru_cache`` in class methods (#37757) - Raise deprecated warning in ``airflow dags backfill`` only if ``-I`` / ``--ignore-first-depends-on-past`` provided (#38676) ## Miscellaneous - ``TriggerDagRunOperator`` deprecate ``execution_date`` in favor of ``logical_date`` (#39285) - Force to use Airflow Deprecation warnings categories on ``@deprecated`` decorator (#39205) - Add warning about run/import Airflow under the Windows (#39196) - Update ``is_authorized_custom_view`` from auth manager to handle custom actions (#39167) - Add in Trove classifiers Python 3.12 support (#39004) - Use debug level for ``minischeduler`` skip (#38976) - Bump ``undici`` from ``5.28.3 to 5.28.4`` in ``/airflow/www`` (#38751) ## Doc Only Changes - Fix supported k8s version in docs (#39172) - Dynamic task mapping ``PythonOperator`` op_kwargs (#39242) - Add link to ``user`` and ``role`` commands (#39224) - Add ``k8s 1.29`` to supported version in docs (#39168) - Data aware scheduling docs edits (#38687) - Update ``DagBag`` class docstring to include all params (#38814) - Correcting an example taskflow example (#39015) - Remove decorator from rendering fields example (#38827)
