This page contains release notes for [Anaconda.org](/tools/anaconda-org/release-notes). For release notes for the Anaconda Client command line interface (CLI) tool, see the [Anaconda Client changelog](/cli-reference/anaconda-client/release-notes).

<Update label="4.2.20/1.0.28" description="2026-06-12">
  **Improvements**

  * External links in the package Description section now open in a new tab instead of navigating away from the page.
  * A password length limit is now enforced on the Anaconda.org registration page.

  **Bug fixes**

  * The `anaconda` channel is now correctly tagged as "Anaconda Verified".
  * Platform naming (for example, `macOS-64` vs. `osx-64`) is now more consistent across the **Overview** tab, **Files** tab, and search filters.

</Update>

<Update label="4.2.18/1.0.27" description="2026-05-13">

  * Fixed an issue where the Extras metadata field in the package details **Files** tab was not displaying human-readable data.
</Update>

<Update label="4.2.18/1.0.25" description="2026-05-08">
  * Added a new Anaconda-verified channel called [main-x](/getting-started/main-x), which contains \~6,000 new conda packages. `main-x` is a beta channel and requires authentication with your Anaconda account.

  * Removed the download counts from the **Files** tab on package detail pages.
</Update>

<Update label="4.2.17/1.0.24" description="2026-04-24">

    * A most popular packages list
    * Monthly and weekly downloads charts
    * A full package listing with search, sort, and pagination options

</Update>

<Update label="4.2.16/1.0.20" description="2026-04-07">
  * Fixed several issues affecting the accuracy of package download counts displayed on Anaconda.org. You might notice changes in the download counts shown for some packages and channels as a result of these fixes.
  * Fixed an issue where the Architecture filter on the **Files** tab was not properly displaying the available architecture options.
  * Fixed an issue where the **upload some** link in the Description section of certain package pages returned a 404 error.
</Update>

<Update label="4.2.15/1.0.19" description="2025-03-16">
  * The search results page now has a list view option.
  * The **Updated** column in the **Files** tab now follows the format "X days ago" if the file was updated within the last 31 days. Hover over the text to see a full timestamp.

  * Removed column sorting in the package file table based on package file type, as it is not supported.
  * Added a version number to the footer in the new user interface.
      <Note>
        Anaconda.org currently has two version numbers: one displayed in the old user interface and one in the new user interface. This will be corrected in subsequent releases.
      </Note>
  * Improved the design for the package metadata dialog, which can be opened by selecting the info icon beside a package file row in package file lists.
  * Fixed an issue where selecting **Dashboard** > **View** > **Landscape** would redirect users to the website's main landing page instead of the user dashboard.
</Update>

  * Selecting the Anaconda.org site logo now always opens [the Anaconda.org homepage](https://anaconda.org), instead of the user dashboard.

    * a linked Google, Microsoft, or GitHub account

        <Warning>
          Users should *not* set usernames and passwords for non-interactive CI/CD flows using `--username` and `--password`, as this is deprecated. They should instead use [tokens](/tools/anaconda-org/admin-guide/tokens).

          ***

          Enterprise Single Sign-On and Single Sign-On users should sign in through SSO only. Attempts with username and password will not be accepted.

      </Note>

  * Added filters to package search to allow users to filter their searches by channel, license, platform/architecture, access, and package type.
