### 0.12.14 {small}`2026-05-12`

#### Bug fixes

- {attr}`anndata.settings.auto_shard_zarr_v3` and {attr}`anndata.settings.zarr_write_format` are no longer dependent on each other, as stated in the docs {user}`ilan-gold` ({pr}`2427`)

#### Performance

- {attr}`anndata.settings.auto_shard_zarr_v3` now utilizes zarr's support for a target shard via `zarr.config.set({"array.target_shard_size_bytes" ...})` (only `zarr` version `>=3.1.4`) to make the target shard size 1GB (uncompressed) if not otherwise set. {user}`ilan-gold` ({pr}`2427`)
