 ### CLI
 
 ### Bundles
+* Update client version to "2" for the serverless variation of the default-python template ([#3083](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/3083))
 * Fix reading dashboard contents when the sync root is different than the bundle root ([#3006](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/3006))
 * When glob for wheels is used, like "\*.whl", it will filter out different version of the same package and will only take the most recent version. ([#2982](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/2982))
 * When building Python artifacts as part of "bundle deploy" we no longer delete `dist`, `build`, `*egg-info` and `__pycache__` directories. ([#2982](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/2982))
