Globus Release 2025-09-24

[Joe Bottigliero]

We released an update today to the Web app, Timers, Globus CLI, and Python SDK versions 3 and 4 beta.

HIGHLIGHTS

Timers

• Timers will now monitor your transfers until they complete, and the timer run’s status will indicate whether the transfer task succeeded or failed. 

• New runs of a timer will not be submitted until prior runs have completed. (In the past, the Timers service relied on the Transfer service to reject new runs if the prior run had not completed.)

Web Application

• Group UUID is now visible on Subscription Group Overview pages.

Globus CLI

• Added commands to manage the organization verified status of a Globus Group.

• Transfer Timer creation now supports the --include/--exclude flags.

Python SDK version

• Added the SearchClient.update_index method.

• Deprecated non-functional legacy features related to symlinks and activation.

Python SDK version 4 beta

• On Python 3.11+, API error tracebacks are now more detailed.

• Removed non-functional legacy features related to symlinks and activation.
