+## 0.51.0 (2025-07-18)
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+* The behavior for the auto_accept configuration option has changed to automatically accept the default option that would be presented interactively. One exception is in a GUI context, when automatically accepting would cancel the operation.
+* The parameter decide_cancel_submission_callback is removed from api.create_job_from_job_bundle, and a new parameter interactive_confirmation_callback replaces it. The previous callback included business logic that is now in the create job function, and the callback's purpose is now solely to present an interactive confirmation prompt.
+
