:high_voltage: Breaking changes:

  • The LookML Validator no longer supports the Liquid variables base_view, explore, model, and view without an underscore in the prefix. The variables _base_view, _explore, _model, and _view are supported.
  • An issue has been fixed where Looker failed to include some required fields in queries. Queries that use fields with Liquid references to other fields may now include additional fields.
  • Extensions can no longer be accessed outside of the sandboxed iframe.
  • Custom visualizations can no longer be accessed outside of the sandboxed iframe.
  • The Liquid divided_by filter now performs floating point number division instead of integer division when the inputs are integers. For example, 1 | divided_by: 2 will now return 0.5 instead of 0.

:star: Notable features:

  • The Redshift driver now configures TCP keep-alives to make long-running queries more reliable.
  • The SQL Interface feature now supports Explores that use the conditionally_filters parameter. Previously disabled Explores are now enabled.
  • The Chart Config Editor now supports conditional data formatters, which let you compare data values to other measure values.
