Bug Fix

What’s New

  • Projects have arrived! These are logical groupings of work that help customers organize their data warehousing efforts by a specific function or mission. They will be automatically enabled for new orgs, existing orgs can reach out to support to have them enabled. You can read more and see a video on our documentation page here.

  • The Deploy Dashboard has gotten an overhaul. Users can now filter runs and view more run history at first glance. You can learn more here.

  • Made stability improvements to the renderer.

  • Minor performance and UI improvements, making the app smoother and more user-friendly.

Bug Fixes

  • Improved overall UI stability.

  • The List Runs API endpoint no longer responds with toWorkspaceID, now correctly uses EnvironmentID. forceIgnoreWorkspaceStatus is now forceIgnoreEnvironmentStatus. This is for consistency in terminology, as these are Environments, not Workspaces.

  • The Runs and Runs List API endpoint responses no longer mention steps, and correctly reference nodes.

  • Fixed an issue where reordering columns would sometimes not update the DDL.

  • Fixed an issue where discarding changes in the git modal would sometimes not work.

  • Subgraphs now open in their own tab. See more details in our Subgraphs article.
