This release includes improved warehouse partitioning that preserves timestamps while capturing source deletes (replacing the old incremental load feature), and adds MFA support for Data Hub Model servers connecting to Power BI workspaces.

The release introduces several advanced pipeline features, including external lookup capabilities with geocoding and sentiment analysis, a classification step for data categorization, and picklist functionality, while also adding a new currency conversion function and implementing file size limits for Excel/CSV uploads.

A new SugarCRM connector has been added that allows users to access its customer management, sales, and marketing capabilities.

The date dimension has been extended back to the year 2000, and analytics now support copying and pasting query parts through right-click menus and drag-and-drop functionality, while database scripts are being phased out in favor of pipeline steps and calculated columns.

This release includes new right-click navigation from the dimension tree to source pipelines for better resource tracking, along with a new slicer design panel that allows users to modify slicer labels and types.

Data Hub now offers a setting to restrict email notifications to directory users only, and has introduced seamless SSO support for embedded reports, allowing automatic authentication through OpenID providers like Azure Entra ID and Okta when the host application and Data Hub share the same authentication method.

This months release does not provide any new features, but is focused on maintenance and performance and stability enhancements.

Zap is aligning its cloud and on-premise versions under a unified 2024.x release cycle, ensuring similar functionality across both deployments, while also introducing a new SAP HANA ODBC connector that simplifies database connections.
