Change
Don't apply CPU and RAM resource limits to the Executor's worker containers by default. Previously, we limited the worker containers to using a maximum of 85% of CPU and 1.5 GB of RAM. If required, use the environment variables DOCKER_CPU_PERIOD, DOCKER_CPU_QUOTA, and DOCKER_MEMORY on the Executor container to set appropriate limits for your host machine. More information about resource constraints can be found here.

Change
The artifacts archive now contains an unzipped version of the executed workflow.
Change
Remove file type limitations (i.e. all types of files can be uploaded in the “Additional Files” section).
Fix
Fixed an issue with paths relative to the current mountpoint, current workflow or current workflow's data area. Previously loading files with the "Relative to" node option failed with an exception (e.g. in the Excel Reader and Excel Writer nodes).

Change
Environments are now cached by default. Set the environment variable DOCKER_REMOVE_IMAGES to true at the executor level if you don't want to use caching for faster builds.
