What's new

The release notes of Entropy Data

2.0.7 (unreleased)

Data Product Builders (experimental): A new opt-in feature that guides you — and your coding agents — through building a data product from its contract. Each builder ships Markdown usage instructions; the dbt builder additionally bootstraps a project from an ODPS draft and exposes a reload command. Usage instructions can now vary by data product status, with a generic fallback when no status-specific block matches. dbt and Snowflake builders are available, while Databricks and AWS Glue appear as "Coming soon". Enable with application.dataproductbuilder.enabled.
Data Product Builders: Usage instruction cards gained a one-click copy button for code snippets and an entropy-data connection test line in the authentication step, plus a Feedback section linking to the builder plugin repository.
Import/Export: Governance policies are now included in the organization export zip (policies/) and restored by the entropy-data import zip command.

2.0.6 (2026-05-13)

API: New policies REST API (experimental) with GET/PUT/DELETE endpoints under /api/policies for managing governance policies through API tokens, documented in the OpenAPI spec.
Git Integration: Pushing newly created files now succeeds on the first push for both data products and data contracts, instead of failing when the path does not yet exist. Pulling no longer silently drops a rename — a contract or product whose externalId was changed in Git is now looked up by UUID first, falling back to externalId on Import, and whitespace in YAML IDs is normalized before lookup. Error messages on Git operations are clearer.
Marketplace: AI search now reranks results before truncating to the top 10, so exact name matches are no longer dropped by Postgres ts_rank ordering when many products share similar terms.
Data Products: ODPS input port saves with invalid data now surface inline validation errors instead of a generic error page.
Integrations: Removing a Snowflake External OAuth configuration now works correctly from the configuration form.
List Views: Filter dropdowns in data product and data contract tables no longer get clipped behind the sticky table header.

2.0.5 (2026-05-11)

Multi-organization: Users who belong to multiple organizations now land on a new organization-chooser screen after login when no default is set, and the header gains an organization switcher dropdown that makes the active org clear and easy to switch. The default-organization flag is now toggled only by explicit Make Default / Unset Default actions, and never set automatically by SCIM provisioning or SSO auto-join.
Data Products: Quick-create forms (data product, application, data consumer, AI agent) now expose an ID field so the externalId can be chosen at creation. The YAML editor opens with an editable example-id # change me placeholder rather than a pre-generated UUID, so the ID is chosen deliberately. Organizations that prefer auto-generated UUIDs can opt back in by setting generationStrategy: uuid on the id standard property.
Data Products: "Add Source System Input Port" works again for ODPS data products, with the post-save redirect now resolving to the persisted UUID. Saving a data product with an invalid externalId is blocked at the API with a 422 and shown inline in the form instead of an error page.
Data Products: The output port editor now guides users toward picking an existing data contract server when one is available, with an inline warning below the server select.
Git Integration: New conflict-resolution wizard replaces the old single-form conflict screen. Step 1 shows local vs. remote YAML side-by-side using CodeMirror MergeView; step 2 offers a Push Directly / Create PR or MR choice with a dedicated PR/MR form. Conflicts also auto-resolve to "patch synced" when an open patch submission already covers the local changes.
Intelligence: AI search now reranks results across tools using the same per-card relevance scoring as standard find mode, and honours the active resource-type filter so the LLM no longer queries tools for types that are unticked.
Marketplace: The marketplace search filter now defaults to Data Products, and Semantic Concept results have received UX polish.
API: Lineage endpoints (GET/POST/DELETE) now accept team- and user-scoped API tokens with proper per-team read and write scoping. A new endpoint returns organization settings, and the OpenAPI spec documents valid team-member role values.
Semantics: Data contracts, the concept "Usages" list, and internal Markdown links now resolve hierarchical concept externalIds (e.g. sales/customer), so grouped concepts inherit descriptions and examples in ODCS schemas again and render as internal Semantic Concept pills.
Data Contracts: Excel export and import handle property names containing dots and unnamed array items correctly instead of round-tripping them as null cells. ExternalId normalization is tighter on every save path.
List Views: Data product and data contract tables scroll inside a height-constrained panel with a sticky header row. Filter dropdowns render above the sticky header instead of behind it, and decorative icons in owner/domain/type/status/version columns have been dropped for a cleaner look.

2.0.4 (2026-05-06)

Integrations: New built-in Microsoft Fabric / Power BI ingestion to import Power BI semantic models and reports as assets. Authentication uses a Microsoft Entra service principal scoped to selected workspaces. The asset tree mirrors app.powerbi.com (workspace → folder → model/report → table), with reports carrying a uses edge to their semantic model so lineage resolves the dependency. Marked Experimental.
Data Products: Microsoft Fabric is now available in the Import-from-Asset wizard. Power BI semantic models can be imported as Power BI data products with output ports prefilled from the model's tables and columns.
Data Products: New ai-agent archetype for data products that expose AI agents. Mirrors the data-consumer pattern with no output ports and no KPI card, and is excluded from the marketplace.
Assets: Power BI semantic-model assets show a .pbids download on the details page, so users can open the model directly in Power BI Desktop with the model's storage mode honoured.
Assets: Asset details now include a "Used by" section listing downstream relationships, with type-specific icons in the asset header.
Navigation: The Assets nav item has moved from Governance to Studio for easier discovery.
Marketplace: Domain and owner filter dropdowns now show all available values, not just the ones present in the current view.
Git Integration: Pushing to a Git target branch now creates files on the first push instead of failing when the path does not yet exist.
Git Integration: Conflict resolution for data products now resolves correctly and renders proper error fragments instead of a generic error page.
Git Integration: Push and connect actions confirm success with a flash message after HTMX-driven submits, and credential-info updates are scoped to the relevant import page.
Intelligence: Hardened chat suggestions against prompt injection by stripping sentinel sequences from untrusted metadata before the model sees it.
Platform: CDN-loaded JavaScript and CSS dependencies have been replaced with local/webjar assets, so the platform runs cleanly in air-gapped installs.

2.0.3 (2026-04-29)

Marketplace: Card icons are now clickable links matching their titles, for quicker navigation.
Insights: New User Analytics section on the Organization Insights page, with a user growth chart and membership statistics.
Insights: Time range filters across the insights pages can now be adjusted dynamically, and data product cards are interactive for drill-down.
Insights: New Data Product Reuse metrics highlight how often data products are consumed across the organization.
Governance: New "Servers per Contract" histogram on the Governance Insights page surfaces contracts missing server definitions or with unusually many.
Power BI: When publishing a semantic model, users can now choose between Import and DirectQuery storage modes from the Open in Power BI dialog.
Semantics: The visualizer now persists drag positions and toggle state per diagram in browser local storage, so layouts are preserved across reloads.
Semantics: Translated descriptions now support Markdown, both in the editor (multi-line input) and on the details page (rendered output).

2.0.2 (2026-04-24)

Integrations: Existing integrations can now be re-configured through the setup wizard. The Edit button is now a dropdown offering either the guided wizard or direct YAML editing, with credential handling that adapts when the authentication method changes.
Notifications: New Microsoft Graph mail provider for self-hosted M365 tenants where SMTP AUTH is disabled. Configure with application.mail.provider=graph and an Entra app registration holding the Mail.Send application permission.
Data Contracts: Output port IDs are locked once active consumers exist, preventing renames that would break consumers. An inline hint explains the locked state.
Data Contracts: External IDs are now normalized and validated on every save path. Invalid external IDs are rejected at the API with 422, and form validation shows inline messages instead of an error page.
Data Contracts: Creating a data contract through the editor API now requires the ADD permission.
Governance: Data contracts using the DCS specification are now included in the governance insights aggregation.
Semantics: The visualizer now supports collapse and expand, and renders semantic groups with a visual boundary around their concepts.
Semantics: Property detail pages show the parent concept and its group. A new Technical Fields group surfaces last-updated and process timestamps.
Semantics: Concept pages suggest bindable data products, scoped to entity and metric concepts for more relevant matches.
Integrations: Amazon Redshift is now available in the integration schema, and credential form field keys are aligned with their data-class fields.
ODCS: Data product team members are restricted to native members, and data product pages now include a support sidebar.
Saved Filters: Filter scopes can now be set when saving, so the same filter set can be targeted at specific views.
Fixed: Team and domain filters in the Data Products graph view.
Fixed: Output port duplication when renaming an existing output port id.
Fixed: Check run lookups now use the server-based format consistently, with SQL join bugs corrected.

2.0.1 (2026-04-21)

Saved Filters: Save and reuse filter combinations on the Data Products list, board, cards, and map. One filter can be marked as default and is applied automatically when no other filters are selected.
Data Products: The Owner and Domain filters now support picking a parent in the hierarchy. Selecting a parent filters the whole subtree and saves as a single value, so the filter stays valid when teams are added or moved later.
Entropy Intelligence: New Intelligence Inspector with developer mode, tool-call inspection, semantics context, popovers for data-product references in chat, and a modal showing full SQL query details.
Entropy Intelligence: Plan management to surface the agent's pre-execution plan before queries are run.
Governance: New Data Contract Insights card on the Governance Insights page, including an owner filter.
Data Contracts: Schema display now has a visibility toggle so large schemas can be expanded or collapsed in place.
Data Products: Image uploads in rich-text fields are validated, rate-limited, and rehosted on the platform.
Semantics: Properties linked through ODCS authoritativeDefinition now show the semantics icon on the schema label, and both semantic and semantics link types are recognized. Studio context is preserved when navigating into semantics.
Customization: Custom properties and custom sections support enum anchors in customization.schema.json for richer dropdown configuration.
Fixed: Validation issues in the Data Contract Editor and missing CSRF header on accepting semantic suggestions.
Fixed: Disabled integration badges are now styled in red on both the list and details pages for clearer status.

2.0.0 (2026-04-17)

Semantics: Model your business domain as a shared ontology of concepts and relationships, and link them to data products and data contracts. Define what terms like Order, Customer, or Monthly Recurring Revenue mean across your organization, discover data by meaning rather than table name, and power semantic search and AI-driven querying. Semantics replaces Business Definitions.
Open in Power BI Support
Data Contract Editor: Relationship drawing, layout, and table collapse interactions have been polished for clearer edge handling and node-border anchoring.
