Action Required: Upgrade to CLI v7.17.1
We are notifying all Coalesce customers using command-line tools that an immediate upgrade to the Coalesce CLI version 7.17.1 or higher is required. Snowflake's recent 2025_02 release includes changes that may cause service interruptions for users running older versions of the Coalesce CLI.
To prevent any disruption, please check your CLI version by running:
coa --version
If your version is lower than 7.17.1, upgrade your CLI by running:
npm upgrade -g @coalescesoftware/coa
For more information on the Snowflake bundle changes, please visit the Snowflake Release Notes.
Updates
We’ve made several improvements to the Coalesce user experience:
Nodes in the Build Interface panel and source Node selector are now alphabetically sorted for easier navigation.
The Deployment page features interconnected filters—selecting a value in one filter automatically updates options in related filters.
You can now view Column Lineage while in Column Grid view, enabling quick lineage access when working with large graphs.
When viewing a selected (blue) Node in Column Lineage, you can edit it directly without having to locate and select it again.
Selecting a Node in the DAG or Graph View now highlights its counterpart in the sidebar, maintaining view consistency and eliminating redundant selections.
Bug Fixes
Deployments now succeed when a Node's source changes while its name remains unchanged.
The Node editor now shows an accurate number of Columns that are in a Node.
Packages
Find the right building blocks for your data pipelines and accelerate initial development by using ready-made Packages from Coalesce Marketplace.
New
Delta Stream Merge Node
Delta Stream Merge Node uses a Delta Stream and handles DELETE operations alongside INSERT and UPDATE.
View-Qualify Advanced Deploy
View-Qualify advanced deploy UDN is a versatile Node that lets you develop and deploy a Snowflake View with an added QUALIFY filter.
Updates
Geospatial datatypes are now supported for Dimension Nodes.
Data quality tests in views now supported in both the Base Nodes package and Base Nodes Advanced Deploy package.
We've enhanced the InferSchema functionality in Copy Into and Snowpipe Nodes. CSV processing now needs just one file format, not two. The system creates a temporary file format to infer the schema and removes it when the session ends.
Bug Fixes
A bug in Dimension Zero Key Node related to handling certain edge cases around null value handling has been fixed.
Persistent Stages change has been made to fix an error caused when all column are chosen as change tracking for Type-2.
