# Release notes

## Anaconda Client

**1.16.0**

2026-10-14

* Added `anaconda channel remove-package` command to remove individual package files from a channel.
* Added `--packages` and `--files` flags to `anaconda channel show` to list packages and individual files in a channel.
* Added `--all` flag to `anaconda channel list` to also include public anaconda.com channels in the list, beyond your own and shared channels.
* Added `--source` flag to `anaconda channel list` to filter results by source (`repo`, `org`, or `all`).
* Renamed `--role` to `--access` on `anaconda channel share`. The `--role` flag still works as a deprecated alias.
* Added `-n, --namespace` flag to `anaconda upload` to target anaconda.com repo channels.
* `anaconda channel upload` now routes uploads to anaconda.org when the channel name matches an anaconda.org owner.
* Fixed Windows Unicode rendering for `anaconda channel list` output.

**1.15.0**

2026-07-28

* Added `anaconda channel notice` commands to manage [channel notices](https://anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-org/admin-guide/notices.md) for Anaconda.org channels.

**1.14.0**

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.

**1.13.0**

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.

* 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.
