A bunch of new features and improvements for you this week. Let us know if there's something you want to see us build next!
📂 Persistent files
We've upgraded Projects so that now any files you write persist from session to session (even after kernel restarts). You'll see your files added to the left side panel as you create them, along with any files you've imported with the File Uploader.
➕ More data connections
Welcome Athena and MS SQL Server to the Data Connection family! Like with all the other data sources, just fill in your connection details and you can hit your database directly using our SQL cells.
Other improvements
- Query Details: We now show you the number of rows and total size of the data you're returning right in the SQL cell!
- Schema Browser Performance: We've put some elbow grease into our Schema Browser performance - it runs much, much faster.
- Chart Cell Improvements: You can now customize your axes' labels! Also, we've enabled sorting! Stay tuned for more soon…
Bugs squashed
- Issues with copy and paste actions, as well as other cell focus issues, have been resolved.
- Input parameters and Run options in Snapshots no longer appear as editable.
- Extremely large database schemas no longer cause Schema Browser errors.
- The query cache refresh button now correctly forces a new execution of a query.
- Queries with JOINs which were failing due to non-nullable columns are now supported.
- Exporting SQL cells to .ipynb files has been improved; other cell types no longer result in malformed .ipynb exports.
- Roles are now correctly displayed when hovering over collaborator's icons.
- The icons for elements in Story mode are now easier to interact with and no longer prevent hiding elements.
