**Summary**  
We’ve published script-languages-release 10.0.0 on GitHub: [https://github.com/exasol/script-languages-release](https://github.com/exasol/script-languages-release). This release introduces a streamlined build process for template flavors to reduce the size of intermediate Docker images, plus dependency updates and internal improvements.

Important note: This is a GitHub-only release only. Future versions may be considered for pre-installation of Script Language Containers (SLCs) in Exasol database.

**What changed**

- Template flavor build process: Adjusted to produce smaller intermediate Docker layers, improving build efficiency and reducing local/registry storage usage.

- Dependency updates: Refreshed third-party packages to current, supported versions for stability and security.

- Internal improvements: General maintenance and cleanup to improve reliability and developer experience.

**Why it matters**

- Faster CI/CD: Smaller layers usually result in quicker pushes/pulls and better cache behavior.

- Lower storage footprint: Keeps local caches and registries leaner.

- Up-to-date dependencies: Reduces vulnerability exposure and incorporates upstream fixes.

**Who should act**

- Teams building custom Script Language Containers or extending templates in their own pipelines.

- Maintainers who mirror or curate container images in internal registries.

**Actions**

- If you rely on GitHub builds, update your references to 10.0.0 and rebuild to benefit from the leaner intermediate layers.

- Review any custom template flavor overrides or extensions to ensure compatibility with the adjusted build flow.

- No action is required for users who rely solely on the preinstalled SLCs in the database.

**Validation checklist**

- Confirm CI runners build without changes to required build arguments or environment variables.

- Compare image sizes before/after in your environment.

- Smoke-test UDFs/scripts that depend on these images.

**Docs and housekeeping**

- Add a short note in internal docs if you maintain instructions for customizing or extending SLC templates.

- Consider registry cleanup policies to retire older, larger intermediates where safe.

Support If you encounter build regressions or dependency conflicts, please share:

- Template flavor and relevant Dockerfile snippet

- CI logs (buildx/buildkit versions, cache settings)

- Runner details (Docker/Podman versions)

- We’re happy to help triage and provide migration guidance.
