What's new in 3.18.0
New features - Added support for the BINARY_OUTPUT_FORMAT session parameter to control whether binary values are returned in BASE64 or HEX format. - Added the QUERY_TAG connection parameter to set a default query tag for the connection. Values longer than 2000 characters are truncated. - Added the SF_SKIP_TOKEN_FILE_PERMISSIONS_VERIFICATION environment variable as the namespaced replacement for SKIP_TOKEN_FILE_PERMISSIONS_VERIFICATION when reading JSON token files. The unprefixed variable still works but is now logged as deprecated. - Changed AWS Workload Identity Federation attestation from a base64-encoded signed STS GetCallerIdentity request to a JWT obtained from STS GetWebIdentityToken. Customer-facing bug fixes - Fixed path handling in GET downloads by validating server-provided destination file names before writing locally. Unsafe names (path separators, . / .., NUL bytes, and on Windows \ / :) are now rejected instead of being used as download targets. - Fixed an infinite JWT renewal loop during login when renew_timeout elapses repeatedly (for example, behind a bad proxy or slow network). Renewal is now bound by the configured login retry count and overall login timeout. Other updates and internal changes - Upgraded libsnowflakeclient to version 2.9.1. - Upgraded curl to version 8.20.0. - Upgraded OpenSSL to version 3.0.21. - Upgraded AWS SDK for C++ to version 1.11.806. - Updated client_environment telemetry to include libc family and version (LIBC_FAMILY and LIBC_VERSION) on Linux, detecting glibc or musl.
