# Release notes

## Anaconda Client

<Update label="1.14.0" description="2025-11-19">
  * Implemented an updated auth login experience. Users will now be directed to sign in with the browser instead of entering a username and password in the terminal. SSO-managed accounts must use the browser-based login.
  * Added an experimental handler for all subcommands. This is disabled by default, but can be used by setting the `ANACONDA_CLI_FORCE_NEW=true` environment variable.
</Update>

<Update label="1.13.0" description="2024-10-30">
  * Anaconda has begun a migration to a plugin-based command line interface (CLI).

    * If users only have `anaconda-client` installed (the base package for the `anaconda` CLI, which available in all Anaconda Distribution installs), users should continue using `anaconda` commands, such as `anaconda login`, `anaconda upload`, and so on.
    * If users have other plugins installed (like `anaconda-cloud-auth`), all `anaconda` commands will now support an optional `org` prefix. For example, both `anaconda upload` and `anaconda org upload` will perform the same function.

      <Note>
        Anaconda recommends that users with additional CLI plugins use the `anaconda org` command format going forward.
      </Note>

  * The CLI help text for `anaconda` commands has been updated to reflect these command changes. To see the available help text, run the following command:

    ```
    anaconda --help
    ```

  * The `anaconda notebooks` command has been deprecated, as notebooks are no longer hosted on Anaconda.org.
