Bug Fixes

We’ve resolved the following issues across key areas:

Tables & Excel (v2)

• Resolved an issue where retrieving an Excel worksheet's cell resulted in an out-of-bounds error.

• Resolved an issue where empty values were not preserved when converting a CSV to a table.

Data Extraction

• Resolved several issues with data extraction when using Gemini models.

Exception Handling

• Resolved an issue where the system threw an unknown exception on a random loop iteration.

• Resolved an issue where a run crashed and users were repeatedly prompted to answer the same exception.

Platform Stability

• Resolved an issue where files passed from a parent process to parallel runs were not uploading correctly to SharePoint.

Deprecations

First Edition Books

First Edition HTTP, Slack, and S3 Books will no longer be available for learning. Instead, use the newer, BDK version of these Books.

These Books will continue to work in agents that have already learned them.
