 ### Snowpark Python API Updates
 
+#### New Features
+
+- Added interval type support for Python UDFs and stored procedures. Use `datetime.timedelta` as the type annotation for day-time interval (`DayTimeIntervalType`) parameters and return values, and `YearMonthInterval` (a type annotation sentinel from `snowflake.snowpark.types`) for year-month interval (`YearMonthIntervalType`) parameters and return values.
