New in Metabase 0.41.0 (Oct 8, 2021)

Revamped Subscriptions and Alerts:
We've heard your asks, and it's finally here: completely redesigned Dashboard Subscriptions and Alerts. Now they look and feel more like their in-Metabase counterparts, but easy to view in email or Slack.
We're also giving everyone much more control over the Subscriptions and Alerts they receive, by letting you manage them from your account settings.
For Pro and Enterprise plans, Admins can now see all subscriptions and alerts set up in their instance. Plus, Admins in these plans can now restrict the domains to which Subscriptions and Alerts can be emailed.
Because Dashboard subscriptions are that much better, we're going to remove Pulses in favor of Dashboard Subscriptions in the next release (0.42). Pulses will still work in this release (and they look so much nicer!), but 0.41 will be Pulses’ final release. Don’t worry, when we release 0.42, we’ll provide you with tools to help migrate your existing Pulses to dashboard subscriptions, so you won't miss a beat.
Fully redesigned permissions page (and a new permission level):
We’ve revamped the Permissions section of the Admin Panel to make it easy to manage permissions in Metabases with lots of people and groups.
Pro and Enterprise plans also now include a new Block Access permission, which ensures certain groups absolutely can not view content from specific databases, even if they have access to a collection with questions that use that database.
Stay organized at scale:
The flip-side of making it easy to ask questions is that your Metabase can fill up with a lot of questions. Pro and Enterprise plans now include tools to help large-scale organizations keep it all straight. To help you separate the data-team-blessed content from the ad hoc explorations from other folks, Admins can now mark collections as Official (they even get a ribbon!) and questions as Verified (they get a blue checkmark ✓).
Official and Verified items are clearly distinguishable throughout Metabase and get prioritized in search, so you can make sure people use the right dashboards and questions to make their decisions.
Fully-formatted result downloads:
Now, when you download the results of a question as Excel, Metabase honors all of the formatting you've defined in the question. Things like date and currency formats are kept throughout, as well as column ordering and visibility. Columns will even automatically resize in XLSX! And renamed columns are now honored in CSV and JSON as well.
Since we were in that part of the code, we made sure filenames include a slug of the question title, so it's easier to distinguish between multiple, similar downloads.
A better experience for questions with errors:
We've improved the way we display SQL errors in the queries for many databases, so you can more easily debug them.
In Pro and Enterprise plans, Admins can now go to one place ("Tools" in the Admin UI) to see all questions which returned as an error when last run, find the most viewed ones and go fix them. This is particularly useful after making schema changes.
Find slow queries and optimize them:
Sometimes queries are simply slow and heavy, but we want to help you make them faster (and help you save some big data warehouse bucks!).
Pro and Enterprise plans now include tools to keep your Metabase lightweight and nimble. Now Admins in these plans can define precise result caching durations for individual questions and dashboards, and even at the database level. (which is great if you only load data into your warehouse once a day, for example.)
And to figure out which queries need better caching (or rewriting), we built tools into the Audit experience to help you find slow and frequently used questions (you can also see if the cache for certain questions is being overridden too frequently).
JOINs with multiple columns:
You can now create more advanced queries while sticking to the Custom Question editor by using multiple column conditions for your JOINs. And now you can define the granularity of the JOIN criteria for dates—previously limited to just month and year.
Lots of database driver improvements:
We have a new, JDBC-based Presto driver, which supports Kerberos as an authentication scheme. If you're using Presto today, you'll see a message guiding you to upgrade.
We also included a new, GCP-client-based BigQuery driver, which is faster and more stable than our previous one.
More advanced authentications mechanisms are now supported for Oracle.
And other improvements:
If you have a chart with many series (e.g. monthly sales over time for every country in Central America), you'll now get a cleaner, scrollable legend, properly displaying the names for each series. And you can still hover them to highlight and click on them to drill down.
Continuing on the improvements to dashboards in 41, when using filters, they stick to the top. So now when you scroll down, you can still see—and change—filter parameters without having to scroll up and down.

Dashboards just got a lot easier to build:
We've outfitted the dashboard editing mode with two major upgrades:
A new and improved way to add questions to your dashboards:
Up until now, you've only been able to add questions to a dashboard one at a time. But now you can open up the sidebar to easily search for and add as many questions as you want. It's more satisfying than popping bubble wrap.
Vastly improved reordering and resizing:
When you move or resize a card, other cards float away to make room for the new card placement.
A more intuitive way to start new questions from SQL results:
One cool feature in Metabase is the ability to use the results of a saved question as the starting point for a new one. In particular, you can use SQL to wrangle some particularly unwieldy tables, save the query as a question, then let other people explore the results using the graphical query builder.
With saved SQL questions, you'll now see a handy Explore results button that fires up the graphical query builder, with the SQL results loaded up as the starting data for your new question.
Improved data selection:
We've overhauled the search bar in the data picker for your new questions so that it now searches through all of your tables and saved questions instead of simply filtering the list.
New in Metabase Enterprise Edition:
Here are some new tricks we've added to the Enterprise edition to help you tame large Metabases.
We've made it easy to find queries to optimize in the Audit tab:
View query runs, average execution time, and total time running to help you track down and focus your optimization efforts on heavily-used queries.
Better serialization:
You can download your application metadata to take snapshots of your Metabase, or preload new Metabase instances with questions and dashboard. Serialization now captures customizations, like custom click behavior on dashboard cards, so your dashboards will be all wired-up and ready to go when you load them. Check out this article on serialization to learn more about what serialization can do, and how.
Even more polish and enhancements
We've made a whole host of additional improvements to Metabase:
Manage more people, faster: we've added search and pagination to the People tab in the Admin panel.
Paginated search results (so you get results faster).
Stronger password requirements (no more password123).
Better human-friendly field names.
URLs now show friendly names for databases, questions, dashboards, and collections. No links will break; we're just tagging on titles to the URL (e.g., "/question/123" becomes "/question/123-Orders-by-product")
Better filter names.
Metabase can now infer data types for custom columns, so it knows to show you the right filter options for that column.
Date string formatting coercion.
Links to docs to help you connect databases.
Friendly custom expression error messages to help you debug faulty formulas.
Better visibility into database connection pooling.
Link settings for visualizations on columns (set up a link setting for a question once, so you don't have to redo it every time you add the question to a dashboard).

Pivot tables:
At long last, Metabase now has honest-to-goodness pivot tables, with multiple levels of grouping and pivots, subtotals and grand totals, and collapsing and expanding rows. Tell your Finance team.
Dashboard subscriptions:
In the past, if you worked hard to create a beautiful dashboard and then wanted to send that dashboard out to folks regularly, you'd have to go create a "Pulse" in Metabase and manually add each and every question from that dashboard to it.
But in version 0.38 we've introduced dashboard subscriptions, which allow you to send the entire contents of a dashboard via email or Slack. You can set up as many subscriptions on a dashboard as you like, and any changes you make to your dashboard will be reflected in your subscriptions the next time they're delivered.
Because we've gotten plenty of demand for and positive feedback on dashboard subscription, we'll be gradually phasing out Pulses in favor of dashboard subscriptions. Pulses will continue to work as normal in 0.38, but in a future release we'll be removing them for good, while giving you a way to migrate any remaining Pulses you might have.
Waterfall charts:
We've added this new chart type which can be quite useful when you're trying to show decreases or losses along with increases or gains across a set of categories or a span of time. Those folks in Finance are having a real banner day, aren't they?
A new layout for collections:
We've taken a crack at making it easier for you to navigate through large sets of nested collections. When you go to a collection now, you'll see a persistent sidebar on the left that allows you to rapidly explore the structure of collections and check out their contents. We've also given collections a new coat of paint — hopefully they look a bit lighter and brighter to you now.
Redesigned actions and drill-through menus:
Another part of the app to receive a touch up is the menus that pop open when you click on charts or column headings. All the same functionality remains, just in a more approachable, friendly package.
Improved nested queries and data sandboxes:
The code that powers these two features has been hardened to improve stability and make sure that nested queries, as well as the Enterprise Edition's data sandboxes, let you use all the Metabase features and functionality they're meant to. You can see the full list of issues and bugs that we closed related to these features below.

Cross-filtering:
You can now set up a chart on a dashboard to update the value of a filter in the dashboard when the chart is clicked
Linked dashboard filters:
Say you have a State dashboard filter as well as a City one. In 0.37, you can now link the City filter to the State filter so that it only displays cities that make sense with the selected state.
Custom click destinations:
If you have a high level overview dashboard, you can now set things up so that clicking on a chart in that dashboard will send your users to another dashboard or saved question in Metabase, or to any other URL you'd like. To make it even better, you can also pass along values from the dashboard to the destination to filter it, or to customize the URL.
Pick the first day of the week:
Not everyone's week starts on Sunday, so Metabase now lets you pick what the first day of the week should be.

New in Metabase 0.35.4 (May 31, 2020)

This update contains an important security fix and is a recommended update for users who have a BigQuery or SparkSQL database connection in Metabase.
Security fix for BigQuery and SparkSQL:
Metabase was recently informed of a potential SQL Injection vulnerability when connecting to Google BigQuery. While the vast majority of our database drivers utilize parameterized queries, our original implementation of BigQuery did not as it wasn’t supported at the time. In release v0.35.4, we have updated the BigQuery driver to support parameterized queries, which will prevent SQL injection attacks. As part of this release, we also determined that our SparkSQL driver was susceptible to the same issue and we have added additional escaping of user input to that driver as well.
Enhancements:
Turkish translation is now available again (#12557)
Better site URL detection when Metabase is run behind a proxy (#12528)
Changed map tile server URL to HTTPS (#12431)
