✨ New & Improved

  • New monitoring capability, Interlinked metrics: Users can now monitor the consistency of their metrics across different data assets and get alerted in case of any deviation. See here for more information.

🛠 Fixes

  • Catalog search: fixed a bug where the filters did not apply properly on some occasion
  • Fixed a bug preventing from showing properly the lineage between Tableau and BigQuery
