Metabase Enterprise Edition also ships with all the improvements included with the Open Source Edition, 0.39.
Customize filter values for each dashboard subscription
In Metabase Enterprise Edition, when setting up a dashboard subscription you can now specify different values for each filter in the dashboard. For example, one subscription could send the contents of the dashboard with results filtered for Vermont, while another subscription would get results for Wisconsin. You only need to create one dashboard to send everyone the data they're interested in.

Get started with 1.39 right now
Before you upgrade:
- Definitely make a backup, as it’ll be harder to downgrade from 0.39. Just like we always suggest you make a backup, we are extra-suggesting that you make a backup this time, as our refactoring of the Metabase type system will make it more difficult to downgrade. And be sure to test core functionality in the new version before proceeding with the upgrade.
- Upgrading to 0.39 might take longer than usual. This is just a heads up: due to the improvements to Metabase’s type system, large installations might take a while to upgrade.
- Everyone will get an email when they first log in. 0.39 includes a security feature where we now send an email on the first login from an unknown device. When upgrading, since Metabase won’t know about any devices yet, it’ll send an email to each user on that first login.
- Metabase 0.39 will be the last release to support Internet Explorer 11. Starting with 0.40, we’ll drop support for Internet Explorer. IE11 will probably still work with Metabase, but you might get some unexpected behavior, so you might want to move to a different browser.
