Notes
- Metabase can now write to your database with actions. Admins: enable Model Actions on your Postgres or MySQL database. Create a new action from the + New menu, or from the new Model details page.
- Upgraded MongoDB driver, including a smarter schema sync process to handle variable keys, support for models, fast joins, custom expressions, additional aggregations, and more.
- Improved sync and fingerprint performance, reducing the load on your database and costs for your data warehouse.
- New dropdown options in dashboard filters.
- A new model details page: view a list of questions using the model, the model's schema, and its actions.
- Yet more viz upgrades and polish:
- Smarter tooltips are more useful in multi-series charts with totals and percentages, time series with days of the week, and more
- More static viz improvements for subscriptions and alerts.
- New link cards for dashboards.
- New visualization type: Detail (displays a row as an easy-to-read card).
- The Clickhouse partner driver is here and available for Metabase Cloud.
- Deprecation notice: we're deprecating Google Analytics 3, and will remove the driver from our future releases after it stops accepting new events (in July of 2023). We don't have plans of supporting GA4. (But link to an article explaining how to use it with BigQuery.)
