Grace periods for service token rotation
Cloudflare Access now supports grace periods during service token secret rotation, allowing both old and new secrets to remain valid for 1 hour to 30 days while administrators update services. The dashboard and API both support custom rotation schedules without interrupting authentication.
Cloudflare Access administrators can now choose a grace period when rotating a service token secret. Both secrets remain valid during the grace period, giving administrators time to update services without interrupting authentication.
The dashboard offers grace periods from one hour to 30 days. Administrators can also revoke the previous secret immediately. The API accepts an RFC 3339 expiration time for custom rotation schedules.
For configuration instructions, refer to Rotate service token secrets.

Rules - Remove surrounding bytes with trim functions
Cloudflare Rules now supports three new functions—trim(), trim_start(), and trim_end()—to remove surrounding bytes from values before comparison. These functions work across all HTTP products on all plans and can remove ASCII whitespace by default or custom byte sets specified as an optional parameter.
DNS - Configure Advanced Custom Nameservers with nameserver sets
Nameserver sets are now available in beta for Enterprise accounts, allowing you to group custom nameserver names with Cloudflare-assigned IP addresses and assign them to multiple zones. This new approach replaces legacy custom_ns sets with reusable, immutable objects that support up to 3 IPv4 and 3 IPv6 addresses per nameserver and can leverage Advanced anycast network groups for improved resiliency.
