The commit of the release is 5d7d3aa
A tarball of the CLI tool release can be downloaded by running:

gsutil cp gs://cloud-datalab/builds/datalab-cli-5d7d3aac11f8b92d57b57394e9cc5781050418aa.tgz ./

The following changes are included in this release:

Internal Cleanups:

#1994 Update the version of the NVIDIA driver used in GPU instances. This unbreaks a recently introduced issue where the older driver is no longer compatible with the latest version of the Container Optimized OS that we use.

Hi,
I downloaded the tar file from the link above but still get the warning about the cli version and the nvidia driver installation, same when cloning the latest master from github.
That said when I was patient and waited for the machine to get get ready , the nvidia drivers were installed

@hnawar thanks for checking things out and verifying that they work for you.

The warning message is still expected; it is based on the installed version of datalab bundled with the Cloud SDK rather than the source code of what you are running.

We should probably change the warning message to say something like "You have version ... installed" rather than "You are running version ...", but that is a relatively low priority fix.

@ojarjur I just want to touch base regarding this release before I make a new issue. I am revisiting datalab after a while, and right now I am unable to create a datalab instance with 1 or more GPU's attached (I have a quota of 8). Is release 20180503 supposed to fix this? I can create a datalab instance with GPU's without any issues.

[ojarjur]

@travswim; Yes, 20180503 is meant to fix a recent regression where instances with attached GPU's fail to start.

This went out with the 201.0.0 release of the Cloud SDK
