1.46.0 (2026-02-23)

Snowpark Python API Updates

New Features

• Added support for the DECFLOAT data type that allows users to represent decimal numbers exactly with 38 digits of precision and a dynamic base-10 exponent.
• Added support for the DEFAULT_PYTHON_ARTIFACT_REPOSITORY parameter that allows users to configure the default artifact repository at the account, database, and schema level.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where cloudpickle was not automatically added to the package list when using artifact_repository with custom packages, causing ModuleNotFoundError at runtime.
• Fixed a bug when reading xml with custom schema, result include element attributes when column is not StructType type.
• Fixed a bug where Session.udf.register_from_file did not properly process the strict and secure parameters.

Improvements

• Reduced the size of queries generated by certain DataFrame.join operations.
• Removed redundant aliases in generated queries (for example, SELECT "A" AS "A" is now always simplified to SELECT "A").
