Release Notes v8.40

What's new?

• Allow AWS Snowflake deployments to set "multifile export mode" in the global variables screen. This mode will allow the export of 5GB+ files from Snowflake while also stitching together the exported chunks into a single file. This stitching process requires some overhead so this mode is only recommended if 5GB+ file exports are needed.
• Support Snowflake key-pair authentication via the SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable.

What improvements have been made to existing features?

• Allow import objects to pass parameters into preprocessing scripts.
• Import objects can now natively import xls and xlsx files, which will be converted to CSV during the import process. If the excel workbook has multiple sheets, only the first sheet will be imported.
