  1. We have upgraded WAF Payload Logging to enhance rule diagnostics and usability:

    • Targeted logging: Logs now capture only the specific portions of requests that triggered WAF rules, rather than entire request segments.
    • Visual highlighting: Matched content is visually highlighted in the UI for faster identification.
    • Enhanced context: Logs now include surrounding context to make diagnostics more effective.

    Payload Logging is available to all Enterprise customers. If you have not used Payload Logging before, check how you can get started.

    Note: The structure of the encrypted_matched_data field in Logpush has changed from Map<Field, Value> to Map<Field, {Before: bytes, Content: Value, After: bytes}>. If you rely on this field in your Logpush jobs, you should review and update your processing logic accordingly.

  1. FinalizationRegistry is now available in Workers. You can opt-in using the enable_weak_ref compatibility flag.

    This can reduce memory leaks when using WebAssembly-based Workers, which includes Python Workers and Rust Workers. The FinalizationRegistry works by enabling toolchains such as Emscripten and wasm-bindgen to automatically free WebAssembly heap allocations. If you are using WASM and seeing Exceeded Memory errors and cannot determine a cause using memory profiling, you may want to enable the FinalizationRegistry.

    For more information refer to the enable_weak_ref compatibility flag documentation.

  1. Earlier this year, we announced the launch of the new Terraform v5 Provider. Unlike the earlier Terraform providers, v5 is automatically generated based on the OpenAPI Schemas for our REST APIs. Since launch, we have seen an unexpectedly high number of issues reported by customers. These issues currently impact about 15% of resources. We have been working diligently to address these issues across the company, and have released the v5.4.0 release which includes a number of bug fixes. Please keep an eye on this changelog for more information about upcoming releases.

    Upgrading

    If you are evaluating a move from v4 to v5, please make use of the migration guide. We have provided automated migration scripts using Grit which simplify the transition, although these do not support implementations which use Terraform modules, so customers making use of modules need to migrate manually. Please make use of terraform plan to test your changes before applying, and let us know if you encounter any additional issues either by reporting to our GitHub repository, or by opening a support ticket.

  1. Cloudflare Load Balancing now supports UDP (Layer 4) and ICMP (Layer 3) health monitors for private endpoints. This makes it simple to track the health and availability of internal services that don’t respond to HTTP, TCP, or other protocol probes.

    What you can do:

    • Set up ICMP ping monitors to check if your private endpoints are reachable.
    • Use UDP monitors for lightweight health checks on non-TCP workloads, such as DNS, VoIP, or custom UDP-based services.
    • Gain better visibility and uptime guarantees for services running behind Private Network Load Balancing, without requiring public IP addresses.

    This enhancement is ideal for internal applications that rely on low-level protocols, especially when used in conjunction with Cloudflare Tunnel, WARP, and Magic WAN to create a secure and observable private network.

  1. We're excited to announce several improvements to the Cloudflare R2 dashboard experience that make managing your object storage easier and more intuitive:

    Cloudflare R2 Dashboard

    All-new settings page

    We've redesigned the bucket settings page, giving you a centralized location to manage all your bucket configurations in one place.

    Improved navigation and sharing

    • Deeplink support for prefix directories: Navigate through your bucket hierarchy without losing your state. Your browser's back button now works as expected, and you can share direct links to specific prefix directories with teammates.
    • Objects as clickable links: Objects are now proper links that you can copy or CMD + Click to open in a new tab.

    Clearer public access controls

    • Renamed "r2.dev domain" to "Public Development URL" for better clarity when exposing bucket contents for non-production workloads.
    • Public Access status now clearly displays "Enabled" when your bucket is exposed to the internet (via Public Development URL or Custom Domains).

    We've also made numerous other usability improvements across the board to make your R2 experience smoother and more productive.

  1. A new Browser Isolation Overview page is now available in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard. This centralized view simplifies the management of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) deployments, providing:

    This update consolidates previously disparate settings, accelerating deployment, improving visibility into isolation activity, and making it easier to ensure your protections are working effectively.

    Browser Isolation Overview

    To access the new overview, log in to your Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard and find Browser Isolation in the side navigation bar.

  1. The Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard now supports Cloudflare's native dark mode for all accounts and plan types.

    Zero Trust Dashboard will automatically accept your user-level preferences for system settings, so if your Dashboard appearance is set to 'system' or 'dark', the Zero Trust dashboard will enter dark mode whenever the rest of your Cloudflare account does.

    Zero Trust dashboard supports dark mode

    To update your view preference in the Zero Trust dashboard:

    1. Log into the Zero Trust dashboard.
    2. Select your user icon.
    3. Select Dark Mode.

  1. Cloudflare One administrators can now control which egress IP is used based on a destination's fully qualified domain name (FDQN) within Gateway Egress policies.

    • Host, Domain, Content Categories, and Application selectors are now available in the Gateway Egress policy builder in beta.
    • During the beta period, you can use these selectors with traffic on-ramped to Gateway with the WARP client, proxy endpoints (commonly deployed with PAC files), or Cloudflare Browser Isolation.

    This will help apply egress IPs to your users' traffic when an upstream application or network requires it, while the rest of their traffic can take the most performant egress path.

  1. Custom Errors are now generally available for all paid plans — bringing a unified and powerful experience for customizing error responses at both the zone and account levels.

    You can now manage Custom Error Rules, Custom Error Assets, and redesigned Error Pages directly from the Cloudflare dashboard. These features let you deliver tailored messaging when errors occur, helping you maintain brand consistency and improve user experience — whether it’s a 404 from your origin or a security challenge from Cloudflare.

    What's new:

    • Custom Errors are now GA – Available on all paid plans and ready for production traffic.
    • UI for Custom Error Rules and Assets – Manage your zone-level rules from the Rules > Overview and your zone-level assets from the Rules > Settings tabs.
    • Define inline content or upload assets – Create custom responses directly in the rule builder, upload new or reuse previously stored assets.
    • Refreshed UI and new name for Error Pages – Formerly known as “Custom Pages,” Error Pages now offer a cleaner, more intuitive experience for both zone and account-level configurations.
    • Powered by Ruleset Engine – Custom Error Rules support conditional logic and override Error Pages for 500 and 1000 class errors, as well as errors originating from your origin or other Cloudflare products. You can also configure Response Header Transform Rules to add, change, or remove HTTP headers from responses returned by Custom Error Rules.
    Custom Errors GA

    Learn more in the Custom Errors documentation.

  1. You can now create Python Workers which are executed via a cron trigger.

    This is similar to how it's done in JavaScript Workers, simply define a scheduled event listener in your Worker:

    from workers import handler
    @handler
    async def on_scheduled(event, env, ctx):
    print("cron processed")

    Define a cron trigger configuration in your Wrangler configuration file:

    {
    "triggers": {
    "crons": [
    "*/3 * * * *",
    "0 15 1 * *",
    "59 23 LW * *"
    ]
    }
    }

    Then test your new handler by using Wrangler with the --test-scheduled flag and making a request to /cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*:

    Terminal window
    npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled
    curl "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*"

    Consult the Workers Cron Triggers page for full details on cron triggers in Workers.
