Patch Update 1.41.0

We're back with another patch update. We've got some new features, we killed some more bugs, and one of our engineers started doing something with cookies!

Why were the cookies at the Nvidia offsite so bad?

They swapped the chocolate for silicon chips!

TL;DR:

  • New Features: New Experience for Postgres Native Connections, Connectivity check for resources.
  • Security Enhancement: Remove token from URL callback and use cookies instead.
  • Bug Fixes: Agent Daemon resolved an issue with locating local commands, hoop key now persists to simplify VM management.
