Significant Changes

Asset Partitioning

The headline feature of Airflow 3.2.0 is asset partitioning — a major evolution of data-aware scheduling. Instead of triggering Dags based on an entire asset, you can now schedule downstream processing based on specific partitions of data. Only the relevant slice of data triggers downstream work, making pipeline orchestration far more efficient and precise.

This matters when working with partitioned data lakes — date-partitioned S3 paths, Hive table partitions, BigQuery table partitions, or any other partitioned data store. Previously, any update to an asset triggered all downstream Dags regardless of which partition changed. Now only the right work gets triggered at the right time.

For detailed usage instructions, see :doc:/authoring-and-scheduling/assets.

Multi-Team Deployments

Airflow 3.2 introduces multi-team support, allowing organizations to run multiple isolated teams within a single Airflow deployment. Each team can have its own Dags, connections, variables, pools, and executors— enabling true resource and permission isolation without requiring separate Airflow instances per team.

This is particularly valuable for platform teams that serve multiple data engineering or data science teams from shared infrastructure, while maintaining strong boundaries between teams' resources and access.

For detailed usage instructions, see :doc:/core-concepts/multi-team.

.. warning::

Multi-Team Deployments are experimental in 3.2.0 and may change in future versions based on user feedback.

Synchronous callback support for Deadline Alerts

Deadline Alerts now support synchronous callbacks via SyncCallback in addition to the existing asynchronous AsyncCallback. Synchronous callbacks are executed by the executor (rather than the triggerer), and can optionally target a specific executor via the executor parameter.

A Dag can also define multiple Deadline Alerts by passing a list to the deadline parameter, and each alert can use either callback type.

.. warning::

Deadline Alerts are experimental in 3.2.0 and may change in future versions based on user feedback. Synchronous deadline callbacks (SyncCallback) do not currently support Connections stored in the Airflow metadata database.

For detailed usage instructions, see :doc:/howto/deadline-alerts.

UI Enhancements & Performance

• Grid View Virtualization: The Grid view now uses virtualization -- only visible rows are rendered to the DOM. This dramatically improves performance when viewing Dags with large numbers of task runs, reducing render time and memory usage for complex Dags. (#60241)

• XCom Management in the UI: You can now add, edit, and delete XCom values directly from the Airflow UI. This makes it much easier to debug and manage XCom state during development and day-to-day operations without needing CLI commands. (#58921)

• HITL Detail History: The Human-in-the-Loop approval interface now includes a full history view, letting operators and reviewers see the complete audit trail of approvals and rejections for any task. (#56760, #55952)

• Gantt Chart Improvements:

  • All task tries displayed: Gantt chart now shows every attempt, not just the latest
  • Task display names in Gantt: task_display_name shown for better readability (#61438)
  • ISO dates in Gantt: Cross-browser consistent date format (#61250)
  • Fixed null datetime crash: Gantt chart no longer crashes on tasks with null datetime fields

New --only-idle flag for the scheduler CLI

The airflow scheduler command has a new --only-idle flag that only counts runs when the scheduler is idle. This helps users run the scheduler once and process all triggered Dags and queued tasks. It requires and complements the --num-runs flag so one can set a small value instead of guessing how many iterations the scheduler needs.

Replace per-run TI summary requests with a single NDJSON stream

The grid, graph, gantt, and task-detail views now fetch task-instance summaries through a single streaming HTTP request (GET /ui/grid/ti_summaries/{dag_id}?run_ids=...) instead of one request per run. The server emits one JSON line per run as soon as that run's task instances are ready, so columns appear progressively rather than all at once.

What changed:

• GET /ui/grid/ti_summaries/{dag_id}?run_ids=... is now the sole endpoint for TI summaries, returning an application/x-ndjson stream where each line is a serialized GridTISummaries object for one run.
• The old single-run endpoint GET /ui/grid/ti_summaries/{dag_id}/{run_id} has been removed.
• The serialized Dag structure is loaded once and shared across all runs that share the same dag_version_id, avoiding redundant deserialization.
• All UI views (grid, graph, gantt, task instance, mapped task instance, group task instance) use the stream endpoint, passing one or more run_ids.

Structured JSON logging for all API server output

The new json_logs option under the [logging] section makes Airflow produce all its output as newline-delimited JSON (structured logs) instead of human-readable formatted logs. This covers the API server (gunicorn/uvicorn), including access logs, warnings, and unhandled exceptions.

Not all components support this yet — notably airflow celery worker but any non-JSON output when json_logs is enabled will be treated as a bug. (#63365)

Remove legacy OTel Trace metaclass and shared tracer wrappers

The interfaces and functions located in airflow.traces were internal code that provided a standard way to manage spans in internal Airflow code. They were not intended as user-facing code and were never documented. They are no longer needed so we remove them in 3.2. (#63452)

Move task-level exception imports into the Task SDK

Airflow now sources task-facing exceptions (AirflowSkipException, TaskDeferred, etc.) from airflow.sdk.exceptions. airflow.exceptions still exposes the same exceptions, but they are proxies that emit DeprecatedImportWarning so Dag authors can migrate before the shim is removed.

What changed:

• Runtime code now consistently raises the SDK versions of task-level exceptions.
• The Task SDK redefines these classes so workers no longer depend on airflow-core at runtime.
• airflow.providers.common.compat.sdk centralizes compatibility imports for providers.

Behaviour changes:

• Sensors and other helpers that validate user input now raise ValueError (instead of AirflowException) when poke_interval/ timeout arguments are invalid.
• Importing deprecated exception names from airflow.exceptions logs a warning directing users to the SDK import path.

Exceptions now provided by airflow.sdk.exceptions:

• AirflowException and AirflowNotFoundException
• AirflowRescheduleException and AirflowSensorTimeout
• AirflowSkipException, AirflowFailException, AirflowTaskTimeout, AirflowTaskTerminated
• TaskDeferred, TaskDeferralTimeout, TaskDeferralError
• DagRunTriggerException and DownstreamTasksSkipped
• AirflowDagCycleException and AirflowInactiveAssetInInletOrOutletException
• ParamValidationError, DuplicateTaskIdFound, TaskAlreadyInTaskGroup, TaskNotFound, XComNotFound
• AirflowOptionalProviderFeatureException

Backward compatibility:

• Existing Dags/operators that still import from airflow.exceptions continue to work, though they log warnings.
• Providers can rely on airflow.providers.common.compat.sdk to keep one import path that works across supported Airflow versions.

Migration:

• Update custom operators, sensors, and extensions to import exception classes from airflow.sdk.exceptions (or from the provider compat shim).
• Adjust custom validation code to expect ValueError for invalid sensor arguments if it previously caught AirflowException.

Support numeric multiplier values for retry_exponential_backoff parameter

The retry_exponential_backoff parameter now accepts numeric values to specify custom exponential backoff multipliers for task retries. Previously, this parameter only accepted boolean values (True or False), with True using a hardcoded multiplier of 2.0.

New behavior:

• Numeric values (e.g., 2.0, 3.5) directly specify the exponential backoff multiplier
• retry_exponential_backoff=2.0 doubles the delay between each retry attempt
• retry_exponential_backoff=0 or False disables exponential backoff (uses fixed retry_delay)

Backwards compatibility:

Existing Dags using boolean values continue to work:

• retry_exponential_backoff=True → converted to 2.0 (maintains original behavior)
• retry_exponential_backoff=False → converted to 0.0 (no exponential backoff)

API changes:

The REST API schema for retry_exponential_backoff has changed from type: boolean to type: number. API clients must use numeric values (boolean values will be rejected).

Migration:

While boolean values in Python Dags are automatically converted for backwards compatibility, we recommend updating to explicit numeric values for clarity:

• Change retry_exponential_backoff=True → retry_exponential_backoff=2.0
• Change retry_exponential_backoff=False → retry_exponential_backoff=0

Move serialization/deserialization (serde) logic into Task SDK

Airflow now sources serde logic from airflow.sdk.serde instead of airflow.serialization.serde. Serializer modules have moved from airflow.serialization.serializers.* to airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.*. The old import paths still work but emit DeprecatedImportWarning to guide migration. The backward compatibility layer will be removed in Airflow 4.

What changed:

• Serialization/deserialization code moved from airflow-core to task-sdk package
• Serializer modules moved from airflow.serialization.serializers.* to airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.*
• New serializers should be added to airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.* namespace

Code interface changes:

• Import serializers from airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.* instead of airflow.serialization.serializers.*
• Import serialization functions from airflow.sdk.serde instead of airflow.serialization.serde

Backward compatibility:

• Existing serializers importing from airflow.serialization.serializers.* continue to work with deprecation warnings
• All existing serializers (builtin, datetime, pandas, numpy, etc.) are available at the new location

Migration:

• For existing custom serializers: Update imports to use airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.*
• For new serializers: Add them to airflow.sdk.serde.serializers.* namespace (e.g., create task-sdk/src/airflow/sdk/serde/serializers/your_serializer.py)

Methods removed from PriorityWeightStrategy

On (experimental) class PriorityWeightStrategy, functions serialize() and deserialize() were never used anywhere, and have been removed. They should not be relied on in user code. (#59780)

Methods removed from TaskInstance

On class TaskInstance, functions run(), render_templates(), get_template_context(), and private members related to them have been removed. The class has been considered internal since 3.0, and should not be relied on in user code. (#59780, #59835)

Modify the information returned by DagBag

New behavior:

• DagBag now uses Path.relative_to for consistent cross-platform behavior.
• FileLoadStat now has two additional nullable fields: bundle_path and bundle_name.

Backward compatibility:

FileLoadStat will no longer produce paths beginning with / with the meaning of "relative to the dags folder". This is a breaking change for any custom code that performs string-based path manipulations relying on this behavior. Users are advised to update such code to use pathlib.Path. (#59785)

Remove --conn-id option from airflow connections list

The redundant --conn-id option has been removed from the airflow connections list CLI command. Use airflow connections get instead. (#59855)

Add operator-level render_template_as_native_obj override

Operators can now override the Dag-level render_template_as_native_obj setting, enabling fine-grained control over whether templates are rendered as native Python types or strings on a per-task basis. Set render_template_as_native_obj=True or False on any operator to override the Dag setting, or leave as None (default) to inherit from the Dag.

Add gunicorn support for API server with zero-downtime worker recycling

The API server now supports gunicorn as an alternative server with rolling worker restarts to prevent memory accumulation in long-running processes.

Key Benefits:

• Rolling worker restarts: New workers spawn and pass health checks before old workers are killed, ensuring zero downtime during worker recycling.

• Memory sharing: Gunicorn uses preload + fork, so workers share memory via copy-on-write. This significantly reduces total memory usage compared to uvicorn's multiprocess mode where each worker loads everything independently.

• Correct FIFO signal handling: Gunicorn's SIGTTOU kills the oldest worker (FIFO), not the newest (LIFO), which is correct for rolling restarts.

Configuration:

.. code-block:: ini

[api] # Use gunicorn instead of uvicorn server_type = gunicorn # Enable rolling worker restarts every 12 hours worker_refresh_interval = 43200 # Restart workers one at a time worker_refresh_batch_size = 1

Or via environment variables:

.. code-block:: bash

export AIRFLOW__API__SERVER_TYPE=gunicorn export AIRFLOW__API__WORKER_REFRESH_INTERVAL=43200

Requirements:

Install the gunicorn extra: pip install 'apache-airflow-core[gunicorn]'

Note on uvicorn (default):

The default uvicorn mode does not support rolling worker restarts because:

1. With workers=1, there is no master process to send signals to
2. uvicorn's SIGTTOU kills the newest worker (LIFO), defeating rolling restart purposes
3. Each uvicorn worker loads everything independently with no memory sharing

If you need worker recycling or memory-efficient multi-worker deployment, use gunicorn. (#60921)

Improved performance of rendered task instance fields cleanup for Dags with many mapped tasks (~42x faster)

The config max_num_rendered_ti_fields_per_task is renamed to num_dag_runs_to_retain_rendered_fields (old name still works with deprecation warning).

Retention is now based on the N most recent dag runs rather than N most recent task executions, which may result in fewer records retained for conditional/sparse tasks. (#60951)

AuthManager Backfill permissions are now handled by the requires_access_dag on the DagAccessEntity.Run

is_authorized_backfill of the BaseAuthManager interface has been removed. Core will no longer call this method and their provider counterpart implementation will be marked as deprecated. Permissions for backfill operations are now checked against the DagAccessEntity.Run permission using the existing requires_access_dag decorator. In other words, if a user has permission to run a Dag, they can perform backfill operations on it.

Please update your security policies to ensure that users who need to perform backfill operations have the appropriate DagAccessEntity.Run permissions. (Users having the Backfill permissions without having the DagRun ones will no longer be able to perform backfill operations without any update)

Python 3.14 support added

Airflow 3.2.0 adds support for Python 3.14. (#63787)

Reduce API server memory by eliminating SerializedDAG loads on task start

The API server no longer loads the full SerializedDAG when starting tasks, significantly reducing memory usage. (#60803)

Remove MySQL client from container images

MySQL client support has been removed from official Airflow container images. MySQL users building on official images must install the client themselves. (#57146)

Add support for async callables in PythonOperator

The PythonOperator parameter python_callable now also supports async callables in Airflow 3.2, allowing users to run async def functions without manually managing an event loop. (#60268)

Make start_date optional for @continuous schedule

The schedule="[@continuous](https://github.com/continuous)" parameter now works without requiring a start_date, and any Dags with this schedule will begin running immediately when unpaused. (#61405)
