Metabase 52 is here!

News and Announcements
1

We snuck out one more release just in time for the end of the year. It's a little lighter than some of our previous releases, but still packs plenty of punch:

  • Sankey charts
  • Connect dashboard filters to columns at any stage of the query
  • Faster, more relevant search results
  • Dashboard verification
  • Language localization for static and public embeds

And plenty more. Check out the release announcement and let us know what you think.

Cheers,
Jess from Metabase

Hi @Jess , thanks for the info. Already on 52 and looking forward to some features also in 53 and 54.

However, I could not find any detail on those - is there any detail?

To be concrete, I would be interested in these two features from your roadmap (Metabase Product Roadmap):

Editable notification templates (actively being built, but could not find in Git)

Content localization (planned for next release or two)

  • what is the extent of the localization? Will it apply to static embeds as well?
  • can one assume this coming in next 3-6 months based on your past release frequency?

Hey Matt,

The current plan for editable notification templates is to let you edit the entire body of them (be it emails or HTTP calls) as text, using handlebars templating tags where you want. So you'd be able to have fully custom messages, include links/viz or not, etc.

This is shaping up to ship closer to the middle of the year.

For content localization, the path we're most likely taking is to let you download a CSV with all of the strings in your content – table names, column names, question titles, etc – with columns to enter translations. It would apply to static embeds as well, most likely.

This is on track to ship in the next release or two (so April or June).

These are rough estimates though, and while those are indeed our plans, things may change. Hope this helps!
