Globus Release 2025-10-22

[Max Tuecke]

We released an update today to Compute.

HIGHLIGHTS

Compute

• Updated major release version to 4.0.0.

• Templating updates

• New single user Compute endpoints are now by default template capable.

• Existing non-template single-user endpoints can be automatically converted to template capable with the new globus-compute-endpoint migrate-to-template-capable <NAME_OR_UUID> CLI  command.

• Privileged users can now run a template capable endpoint without needing to set up identity mapping.

• Serialization updates

• There are two new combination serialization strategies, AllCodeStrategies and AllDataStrategies. AllCodeStrategies supersedes the now deprecated CombinedCode, refining the serialization order using existing strategies.

• These new strategies will soon be set as the default in the near future, so we recommend trying them now within your workflow.

• The new combination strategies, together with the recently released ability to register python source code directly via .register_source_code, should further improve serialization/deserialization success rates.

• NOTE using any of the new strategies for serialization requires that destination endpoints also be upgraded to 4.0.0.

• Please see the changelog for additional information.
