It's been more than 3 months since the previous release, and this new version is a gigantic leap. We now have 4 dedicated engineers and a PM working on Caravel at Airbnb, and the project is building incredible momentum.
We've merged 200+ PRs since the last release and curating the changelog would be quite an undertaking, so here's a very incomplete, high level summary of what's new:
* "SQL Lab" a multi-tab SQL IDE now ships with Caravel. It's still in beta, but we're committed to making it the best SQL IDE out there. Note that you probably want to think about how you want to roll this new feature out to your users are you upgrade.
* Caravel has a new look, we've iterated on design and made it look more polished and professional
* Some of the common UX flows have been improved quite a bit, making Caravel much more intuitive and easy to use
* We now have a Map/geo visualization using the Mapbox API, it supports clustering and looks amazing!
But there's so much more! here's a link to the CHANGELOG:
Here are some instructions on how to upgrade:
Enjoy!
