Containers - exec() is now available for Containers

exec() is now available for Containers. Use this.ctx.container.exec() to start processes inside a running Container, stream standard input and output, inspect exit codes, and signal each process. Call exec() from a class extending Container, or from another Durable Object through this.ctx.container. The associated Container must already be running. This example starts the Container when needed, then reads its Node.js version: JavaScript import { Container } from "@cloudflare/containers";

Radar - Updated Workers AI popularity metric in Cloudflare Radar

Radar has changed how it measures Workers AI model and task popularity. Previously, popularity was based on the number of unique accounts running inferences against each model or task. It is now based on the number of inferences, giving a more representative view of actual usage volume. This change will affect all new measurements as well as historical data. As a result, the model and task distributions shown on Radar may differ from what you saw previously, and historical trends may shift accor

Speed - Cloudflare Fonts error handling and security improvements

Cloudflare Fonts now forwards /cf-fonts requests to your origin server when it encounters invalid paths or unexpected runtime errors, instead of returning 4xx or 5xx responses directly. This update also adds additional input validation to enhance security.
