This month has been jam packed with new Renku features! Here are the highlights of the ones we're most excited about to help you collaborate in research and teaching.

Need a specific set of packages in your Renku session? Now you can customize exactly what's
installed in your session with Renku-built environments. Simply connect a code repository containing
a file with your project dependencies (e.g. an environment.yml), and let Renku build your session
environment (aka docker image) for you!
