Product Updates

v5.0.0 - Makalu - What's New

by Coalesce
New
  • There's now a new Node Selector syntax. This filter is supported in all views. More details are in our Selector article. Note that this represents a breaking change for ad hoc CLI/API jobs that used the previous syntax.

  • There is now a common git repo URL that is shared between all users within the same Organization. This represents a potential breaking change, as you'll need to re-enter your git credentials before you can proceed with git-related tasks.

  • A new version of Jobs is now available. You can use the Node Selector to include or exclude nodes from a Job. More details in our Jobs article.

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

  • Column grid view now supports bulk editing of non-source columns.

  • Column bulk editor now supports Column Name updates using Jinja2 templates.

  • Grouping by table headers is now available in Node grid view.

  • The problem scanner will notify users about broken refs occurring in the join textbox within a node.

  • If using the Coalesce coa CLI, you must upgrade to version 1.0.167 or later to use the latest features listed above.

  • You can now restart a failed refresh via API - Rerun Failed Refresh/Job or coa CLI CLI Refresh.

  • This release includes significant UI improvements. Hopefully, the app should be even better for everyone.

New
  • Dev Workspaces has landed! You can now develop in parallel without stepping on each other's toes and merge back together when the time is right. Developers, the world is yours! You can read more details about this in our 4.0 guide here.

  • A preference that allows you to choose a default storage location for each node type, instead of using the same location for all of them. For the choosy types.

  • You can now use the {{this}} variable in transforms, joins, and templates. Renders to a ref_no link of the current node.

  • We’ve made some interface improvements to the git integration. Putting our best foot forward.

by Coalesce
New

  • Pagination for Job history now works as expected.

  • Improved column lineage calculation

  • Fixed a bug where column propagation would not create a new column correctly

  • Fixed performance issues with the source select dropdown

  • We tweaked many other issues as well

v3.3 - Kanchenjunga Patch 3 - What's New

by Coalesce
New
  • Ability to set read-only variables (Parameters) that can be accessed via node templates. Parameters can be set to control the behavior of nodes during development and deploy time via the GUI interface. CLI and API options are coming soon which will allow the user to set parameters during both refresh and deploy.

  • SSO Authentication to Coalesce via Azure Active Directory

  • Improved switcher to change the view of Node and Column browser between Graph, Node Grid, and Column Grid

  • Improved the "Something went wrong" page when Coalesce encounters a bug. Errors are automatically sent to an on-call engineer for an investigation to improve our product continually.

  • Ability to execute multiple jobs at the same time in a given environment

  • Deleting columns now presents the user with an option to abort the action. We have observed that very few users use the propagate deletion flow when deleting a column from the grid. To kick off deletion propagation, you must now do this from the Column Lineage interface.
