This release is a minor version, meaning it doesn't include any breaking changes to ensure a seamless transition for our users. Here are some of the highlights of this release. + +### Big Number With Time Period Updates + +We released a [Big Number with Time Period Comparison](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/26908) chart as part of Superset 4.0. With the latest update, there are now [color options](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27524) for comparisons. The chart now also uses [standardize controls](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27193) such that when switching charts will maintain the selected metrics. To enable the new chart, you'll need to enable the `CHART_PLUGINS_EXPERIMENTAL` feature flag. + +
+ Image +
+ +### Table with Time Comparison +Added functionality to do [table time comparisons](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28057) behind the `CHART_PLUGINS_EXPERIMENTAL` feature flag. This will help improve and facilitate efficient data analysis. + +
+ Image +
+ +### New ECharts Versions + +The new ECharts [Heatmap](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/25353) has been added. Compared to the legacy Heatmap, it has more accurate percentage calculations, server side sorting to respect row limits, and a more interactive legend control that allows selecting a subset of values. + +
+ Image +
+ +We also added a new ECharts [Histogram](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28652) chart. The new chart will help visualize patterns, clusters, and outliers in the data and provides insights into its shape, central tendency, and spread. + +
+ Image +
+ +A new Echarts [Sankey](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/29329) chart now exists. The chart visually tracks the movement and transformation of values across system stages. + +
+ Image +
+ +You can use the CLI command to migrate Area, Bubble, Line, Sankey, [Heatmap](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27771), and [Histogram](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28780) chart types but we'll add more as the ECharts migrations continue. Note that migrations for deprecated charts may be forced in upcoming major versions when the code is removed. Running migrations earlier will allow you to de-risk future upgrades while improving user experience. + +```bash +Usage: superset viz-migrations [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... + + Migrates a viz from one type to another. + +Commands: + downgrade Downgrades a viz to the previous version. + upgrade Upgrade a viz to the latest version. +``` + +Note: When migrating dashboards from one Superset instance to another (using import/export features or the Superset CLI), or restoring a backup of prior charts and dashboards, Superset will apply the existing migrations that are used during version upgrades. This will ensure that your charts and dashboards are using the latest and greatest charts that Superset officially supports. For any migration issues, feel free to [open a new issue](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&projects=&template=bug-report.yml) in the repo. + +### Improved Upload Forms + +We've made design changes to the [CSV](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27840), [Excel](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28105), and [Columnar](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28192 +) upload modals to improve user experience and to be more performant. The new designs has the following goals: + +- Improved error handling. +- Better backend parameter validation. +- More aligned with our other modal dialogs + +#### CSV +

+ + +### OAuth2 For Databases + +You now have the ability to enable [OAuth2](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27631) for databases like BigQuery, Snowflake, Dremio, Databricks, Google Sheets, etc. When enabled, it will allow users to connect to Oauth2 enabled databases with their own credentials. + +### Catalog Support For Databases + +Added support for the [catalog heirachy](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28317) for databases that support it, such as [BigQuery (projects), Databricks, Presto, Snowflake, and Trino](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28416). Once enabled, users will see catalogs when selecting tables in [SQL Lab, datasets](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/28376), and when setting up Data Access Roles + +### Slack Upload Files V2 API Updates +As part of [[SIP-138] Proposal for Slack file upload V2 integration for Alerts and Reports](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/29263) we now have support for Slack file upload files v2 API call. This feature is behind the feature flag `ALERT_REPORT_SLACK_V2` and also changes the Slack channel to a selector. You may also need to add the following scopes (`channels:read`, `group:read`) to your Slack bot to work. + +
+ Image +
+ +### Total and Percentages In Tooltips For ECharts + +Users can now see both the [total and percentage in tooltips](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27950) for ECharts. + +
+ Image +
+ +### Additional Metadata Bar To Dashboards + +There is now a [metadata bar](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27857) added to the header of dashboards. This will now show viewers of the dashboard both the owners and last modified time of the dashboard. diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/big_number_chart.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/big_number_chart.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..962d0c3889ebe Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/big_number_chart.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_1.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_1.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..21d201769e699 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_1.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_2.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_2.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..692f4549de77d Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_2.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_3.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_3.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..f7edddfd5c59e Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/columnar_modal_3.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_1.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_1.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..8529357514e71 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_1.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_2.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_2.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..972753587d5b4 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_2.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_3.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_3.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..25acf14a3551d Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_3.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_4.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_4.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..9d81b28306e6c Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/csv_modal_4.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_1.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_1.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..6e9640a949987 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_1.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_2.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_2.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..4cc2d451bda75 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_2.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_3.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_3.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..64d8fdc561e11 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_3.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_4.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_4.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..8f5b45e504aac Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/excel_modal_4.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/heatmap.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/heatmap.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..52738bf00624a Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/heatmap.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/histogram.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/histogram.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..61a7fe0318cf8 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/histogram.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/sankey.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/sankey.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..0df200ee9e490 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/sankey.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/slack_modal.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/slack_modal.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..3804e2a6fc9ea Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/slack_modal.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/table_with_time.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/table_with_time.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..4f7607c217530 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/table_with_time.png differ diff --git a/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/tooltips.png b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/tooltips.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..03f394b75d6f9 Binary files /dev/null and b/RELEASING/release-notes-4-1/media/tooltips.png differ
