November 4, 2022

Highlights

We built additional logic in the navigation to create and find your datasets, charts, and dashboards easier.

• Creating datasets from the menu button: You will now see the option to create a dataset upon clicking "+" menu in the navigation bar after connecting a database.
  

• Cross-referencing between charts and dashboards: You can now confidently edit charts and datasets while understanding which dashboards or charts may be impacted. You will see which charts are on which dashboards and what datasets power which charts, improving the ability to understand how changing individual objects impacts other aspects of the workspace.
  

New features

• Added layer of security with content security policy check: The new Content Security Policy (CSP) check verifies if a policy is defined or not to help detect and mitigate Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. If the policy is not defined, you will see a warning message. For deployments that manage CSP with other software, this check can be disabled using the CONTENT_SECURITY_POLICY_WARNING configuration.

Enhancements and fixes

• (SQL Lab) We updated the timer to use a monospace font so its width doesn't change.
• (SQL Lab) We fixed a bug where "Ctrl+X" would not properly stop querying in the "SQL Lab."
• (Explore) We show a warning about breaking a chart with custom SQL when a user changes the database.
• (Explore) Commas have been enabled in number format to make reading easier.
• (Explore) We ensured that unknown URL parameters would be preserved in the URL.
• (Explore) We fixed a regression in which the URL parameters were not persisted to the form data.
• (Explore) We resolved the issue where the date range in "Explore" resulted in runtime errors.
• (Plugin) We fixed build and runtime errors associated with the Handlebars viz plugin.
• (Other) We disabled HTML rendering in the error pop-up notification by default.
• (Other) We enhanced color consistency across charts.
• (Other) We added CRLF line separators for Windows.
