New Features & Enhancements

Data Connectivity & Sources

We've expanded data source support with some significant additions:

  • BigQuery support is now available for early access testing. You can connect to BigQuery data sources with full AI integration and support for multiple datasets within a project.

  • Databricks connections now work better with OAuth authentication using a Service Principal for enhanced security. You can also work across multiple catalogs with catalog-qualified queries and cross-catalog joins. We've also fixed issues with SQL dialect handling when chaining SQL nodes together.

Canvas Interface & User Experience

The canvas interface now works more smoothly:

  • Node management has been improved with the ability to minimize and maximize nodes while preserving their original sizing. Context menus now include keyboard shortcuts (⌘/Ctrl-M for minimize, ⌘/Ctrl-D for duplicate). When you add new nodes, the camera automatically positions to center them properly.

  • Canvas titles can now be edited inline with real-time collaborative editing that syncs changes across all clients viewing the canvas.

  • SQL and JavaScript editing is more responsive. The editor now automatically focuses when you enter edit mode with improved line highlighting. Error messages are clearer and include calculated line numbers for SQL errors. When you add new nodes, the editor automatically gets focus so you can start typing immediately.

Data Analysis & Visualization

We've added new analysis capabilities and improved existing charts:

  • Group By nodes now support median aggregation for numeric columns alongside the existing sum and mean options.

  • Chart support has been expanded with support for both 2-letter and 3-letter ISO country codes in world choropleth maps. We've unified how different numeric data types (integer, bigint, number) are handled across charts. Column charts now have proper default heights and bump charts no longer have their x-axis cut off. Line charts now handle color scales correctly.

  • Map visualizations have improved typography and legends for both cartogram and choropleth maps.

  • Performance has been optimized by limiting line charts to the top 1,000 lines to prevent memory issues with very large datasets.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Performance & Stability

Several behind-the-scenes improvements make things run more smoothly:

  • Memory management for line charts with large datasets has been fixed to prevent performance problems.

  • Error handling is more robust with better cycle prevention in op graphs and improved error states throughout the interface.

  • Image exports now preserve global styles correctly, especially for Sankey and beeswarm charts.

User Interface Fixes

We've fixed several interface issues:

  • Interaction problems have been resolved where clicking on select menus would interfere with node border interactions. Hover states and pointer cursors now work consistently across all interface elements. Icon stroke widths are now visually consistent.

  • Navigation issues have been fixed including sidebar width problems when page titles are long, improved toolbar pointer states, and corrected tab labeling (the From node's "Tables" tab now has the right name).

Data & Connectivity

Authentication and data handling work more reliably:

  • Authentication tokens now refresh properly for long-running canvas sessions, preventing connection issues after extended use.

  • Profile management now works correctly for users with multiple authentication methods when changing email addresses.

  • Chart encoding issues that prevented numeric columns from being detected properly have been fixed.

  • SQL error messages are now clearer, especially for statements that don't start with SELECT.
