Fides 2.68.0 release notes

• 2.68.0: August 18, 2025

Helios

Detect and classify global data risks with comprehensive visualization for data mapping and reporting for modern Enterprise.

• Enhanced Error Reporting: Improved logging of underlying errors when database query exceptions occur, making it easier to diagnose and resolve database connectivity issues.
• Performance Optimization: Refactor to support bulk operations for multiple staged resources simultaneously, significantly improving performance when processing large numbers of data discovery results.
• Fixed Monitor Keys: Updated MonitorConfig.key values to replace . characters with _ and updated all system references, preventing an error that occurred when monitor keys included these characters. Note: This includes a database migration. This update can result in breaking changes to APIs that reference the affected monitors and their results.
• Database Connection Improvements: Standardized database engine configuration and made the pool_pre_ping option configurable across all engines (defaulting to enabled), improving database connection reliability and reducing connection timeout issues.
• Classification Task Enhancement: Improved session management during data classification tasks, providing more stable and reliable classification processing.

Lethe

Enterprise grade privacy request management and processing with a single orchestration layer for DSRs across vendors and systems

• Enhanced Manual Task Processing: Manual Task Graph Tasks now receive data from nodes referenced by their conditional dependencies, enabling more sophisticated task creation in future releases.
• Environment Variable Updates: Added a new environment variable (FIDES__PRIVACY_CENTER_URL) to Fides which is used to specify the URL of the privacy center. The URL is included in emails to external users so they can access the manual task portal.
• Improved Request Monitoring: Added a log entry in the request details Activity log when DSR requests enter awaiting_email_send status, providing better visibility into request processing stages for administrators.
• Enhanced Data Extraction: Improved data extraction for object fields to return complete data structures instead of empty containers when no nested fields are specified.
• Mobile-Friendly UI: Enhanced privacy request detail interface for better usability on smaller screens.
• Improved Manual Task Management: Enhanced user interface for manual task configuration and manual tasks table, making it easier for privacy teams to create and assign manual tasks.
• UI Fixes: Fixed link functionality in the Manage Secure Access modal.
• Storage Configuration Optimization: Updated DSR Comments to only require storage configuration when users are uploading attachments, simplifying the workflow for local testing of Fides without a storage configuration.

Janus

High performance consent recording and orchestration for data sharing, built for enterprise data engineering and AI pipelines.

• Enhanced User Experience: Added visual checkmark feedback and screen reader announcements for consent button interactions on the CMP modal, improving accessibility and providing clear confirmation of user actions.
• TCF Experience Preview Fix: Resolved issue with preview functionality when creating new TCF (Transparency and Consent Framework) Experiences in the Admin UI.
• GPP Robustness: Fixed bug where providing an invalid fides_string as an override caused GPP (Global Privacy Platform) initialization to fail.
• Caching Performance: Stopped writing to database cache as fallback for experience caching, improving overall system performance and reducing database load.

Integrations

• Bloomreach Integration: Added comprehensive Access and Erasure Integration with bi-directional consent synchronization for Bloomreach, enabling seamless privacy request processing and consent automation.
• Segment Unify Enhancement: Updated Segment Unify integration to display all user traits in data reports, providing more comprehensive data visibility for access requests.
• Amplitude Optimization: Switched to using amplitude_id instead of email for user erasure requests, improving the accuracy and reliability of data deletion operations.
• Outreach Performance: Enhanced performance of Outreach consent webhook processing by reducing the number of API calls required, improving response times and system efficiency.

Core

• Security Enhancement: Username and password logins are now prevented by default when SSO (Single Sign-On) is enabled, strengthening security posture by ensuring consistent authentication methods across the organization.
