# 1.174.1 - 14 January 2026

### Release Overview

Our first release of the year focuses on strengthening the security, reliability, and overall stability of the UbiQuity platform. The changes in this release are largely behind the scenes, but they play an important role in ensuring your data remains secure and that core services continue to perform consistently.

Alongside these improvements, we’ve resolved a small number of high-priority issues affecting user onboarding and layout management, helping to ensure a smoother experience across common workflows.

* Resolved an edge-case issue that could cause errors when opening or creating layouts.
