 ## 468.0.0 (2024-03-12)

### App Engine

* Updated the Java SDK to version 2.0.25 build from the open source project
<https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-java-standard/releases/tag/v2.0.25>.

* Upgraded dev_appserver from Python 2 to Python 3.
  * You can't use the latest version of `dev_appserver.py` to locally run your applications for runtimes that reached end of support. To continue using an archived version of `dev_appserver.py`, see Use the local development server after runtimes reach the end of support (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/tools/using-local-server).
  * Python 2 is no longer supported and should not be needed in your environment.
  * For supported runtimes (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/lifecycle/support-schedule), you must update both the `gcloud` CLI and the `app-engine-python` component. If you manage `gcloud` with an external package manager, see Managing `gcloud` CLI components (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/components).
  * If you manage `gcloud` CLI with an external package manager, see External package managers (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/components#external_package_managers). You must update both `gcloud` CLI and the `app-engine-python` component together.
  * The latest version of `dev_appserver.py` no longer accepts `api_version` in `app.yaml`. This conforms to production behavior.

### App Hub

*   Promoted `gcloud apphub` to GA.

### Artifact Registry

* Added `gcloud artifacts files download` which downloads a file to the local environment.
* Allowed `--remote-mvn-repo`, `--remote-docker-repo`, `--remote-npm-repo`, and `--remote-python-repo` flags to be a custom registry uri (ex: https://registry-1.docker.io) as well as the already-supported registry enum (ex: docker-hub) for `artifacts repositories create`.
* Added `--disable-remote-validation` flag for `artifacts repositories create` and `artifacts repositories update`.
* Added `gcloud artifacts docker upgrade migrate`.

### Cloud Bigtable

* Added `--enable-automated-backup` flag to `gcloud bigtable instances tables create` and `gcloud bigtable instances tables update`.

    without specifying the task body. It requires the parent queue to have
    an HTTP target override.

### Compute Engine

    and beta tracks of `gcloud compute ssh`.
* Promoted `--source-regions` flag of `gcloud compute health-checks` to beta.
