1 Commits

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 monthly summary for red-hat-data-services/notebooks. Focused on stabilizing runtime and compatibility across architectures by addressing a segmentation fault on s390x through a targeted protobuf dependency pin. The change aligns the protobuf version used across the stack (including ROCm TensorFlow notebook) and regenerates lock files to enable reproducible builds. Result: more reliable notebook deployments and reduced runtime crashes across supported platforms.
