:high_voltage: Breaking changes:

  • Looker admins can no longer create or edit individual users’ API keys. Instead, from the Admin > Users page, admins can enable users to manage their own API keys. Once a user has API key management enabled, they can create, view, edit, and delete their API keys from their Looker account page.

:star: Notable features:

  • You can now set the Auto Resize Value setting on single value visualizations. This setting has no effect if the Smart Single Value Text Size setting is enabled on the Admin > General Settings page.

  • The Athena JDBC driver version has been upgraded from 2.1.5 to 2.2.2. The Athena JDBC driver is used for connections to Amazon Athena.

Check the release notes for more details. Happy Lookering!
