Finally a new major release! You can review the full CHANGELOG, but some highlights of this release:
- Direct Athena data source type (no more need for the Java proxy ).
- New MemSQL data source type and updates/fixes to the MySQL, Google Analytics, Presto, MongoDB, Cassandra, JIRA, TreasureData, InfluxDB, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and BigQuery data sources.
- New Plotly based Box Plot visualization along with improvements to the Pivot Table, cohort and counter visualizations.
- List parameter type.
- Friendly API key dialog for queries along with usage examples.
- Auto-publish queries when they are named (with option to disable; see #1830).
