[4.3.0] - 2022-05-25

Added

Introduces dash-ag-grid v1.3.1
Dash Ag-Grid is a wrapper around the enterprise-grade AG Grid table library. Ag-Grid provides several UI features beyond DataTable like a first-class filtering UI, resizable and draggable columns, and serverside virtual scrolling. Many of Ag-Grid's best features require an AG Grid enterprise license key.
Introduces dashboard-engine v1.1.0:
dashboard-engine==1.1.0:
  • Added support for custom elements and modifying existing elements, as well as documentation for these features.
  • Changed CSS of cards to enable vertically responsive contents within custom elements. As a side effect, controls within cards will be distributed evenly vertically within cards, instead of stacked on the top.
Introduces dash-design-kit v1.6.8:
dash-design-kit==1.6.8:
  • Changed ddk.Graph and ddk.DataTable such that Dash Design Kit builds them off of the features from dash==2.1.0 and plotly.js v.2.8.3.

Changed

  • Upgraded Replicated to version 2.53.5.
  • Updated documentation to use Dash 2.1.0.
  • Updated sample apps to use the Dash 2.X series.
  • Updated the User Analytics sample app to download code from the dash-user-analytics package instead of inlinining that package's code in the sample app.
  • Updated sample apps that use SQLAlchemy to use NullPool. NullPool is safer to use with gunicorn's --preload flag.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where downloading Python packages from /Docs/packages in newer browsers and the Poetry package manager caused those packages to be uncompressed on download.
  • Fixed a bug where restores were partially failing for airgapped installations due to missing images.
  • Fixed a bug where special characters in environment variables were being escaped inside workspaces.

[4.2.0] - 2022-01-20

Important - Sunsetting Python 2.7 Support
Plotly products are continuing to gradually drop Python 2.7 support. Read the announcement for more background.

Added

Introduces dashboard-engine v1.0.2
Dashboard Engine is a new Python library for Dash only available on Dash Enterprise. Provide Dashboard Engine a data frame and get back a rich component that provides automatic crossfiltering between components, a built-in chart creator UI, and drag and drop layouts. The Dashboard Engine component can be used by end-users to create dynamic views and charts within a Dash app or by Dash developers to rapidally create a Dash app from a structured data frame. Dashboard Engine is compatible with dash-snapshots enabling end users to save the views that they create.

Important Announcement

We have removed support for running Chart Studio Enterprise and Dash Enterprise on the same server in this release. If you are currently running both products on one server, please contact our support team.

[3.4.0] - 2020-02-20

Important Announcements

Our latest release requires a manual upgrade of a dependency on your server, as well as a small configuration change if you're using LDAP or SAML authentication.
Docker Dependency Upgrade
This release of Dash Deployment Server removes support for versions of Docker older than 1.13. This is due to usage of new management commands that are only available in Docker 1.13.
For instructions on upgrading Docker, please see section 7.1.3 Upgrading Docker in the Plotly - Dash On-Premise 3.4 Instructions.
As a result of this change, CentOS 6 and RHEL 6 are no longer supported since these systems can't run a sufficiently recent version of Docker. Customers are required to upgrade their operating system to a fully supported version before upgrading this product.
Authentication Mechanism Selection for LDAP or SAML
We have updated the Authentication (LDAP and SAML) configuration options available in Server Manager settings to be more intuitive and user friendly. As a result, if you are using LDAP or SAML authentication you must select the authentication mechanism in the Server Manager "Settings" page after the upgrade. The rest of your authentication settings (including LDAP and SAML variables) will be preserved.

  • There is no need to add --extra-index-url in the requirements.txt file for dash apps to use Dash Enterprise packages (e.g. dash-design-kit) anymore.

[3.3.5] - 2020-01-23

Fixed

  • Dash App deployments no longer fail due to a missing Herokuish image on airgap installs.

[3.3.4] - 2019-12-04

Fixed

  • The base app image has been updated to fix an issue that prevented some Python runtimes from being installed due to a missing Sqlite3 package.

[3.3.3] - 2019-11-19

Fixed

  • Usage of Debian packages within the dpkg-packages folder which have dependencies upon each other are now handled properly. Packages no longer need to be named in a lexicographical manner, and circular dependencies within Debian packages contained in the dpkg-packages folder are installed correctly.
  • The system certificate store is now used when installing apt packages during Dash App builds. This allows apt repositories with self-signed certificates to be used by adding the certificate to the system's store.

[3.3.2] - 2019-11-18

Added

  • Added an option in Server Manager settings which allows signing AuthnRequest for SAML2 Authentication.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that prevented an upgrade from completing on instances with Dash Apps linked to missing or broken services.

  • Fixed a bug causing a misleading failure alert to appear in the browser after successful logout from DDS

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that prevented an upgrade from completing on instances with Dash Apps using Python 3.7 runtimes.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented Dash Apps with Python 3.7 runtimes from being deployed.

[3.3.0] - 2019-10-09

Important Announcement

Our latest release requires a manual upgrade of a dependency on this server. Before upgrading, please run this command on this host server
$ curl -sSL https://get.plot.ly | sudo bash
Heroku Stack Upgrade: This release includes an update to the Heroku stack used in dash app deployment from Heroku-16 to Heroku-18. A stack is an operating system image that is typically based on an existing open-source Linux distribution (i.e. Ubuntu). The full overview of the Heroku-18 stack can be found here:https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-18-stack.
See below for how this will affect Dash applications:
  • The requests package is no longer installed by default.
    • If an application uses requests it must be added to the applications's requirements.txt file.
    • If the application is usingdash-auth(* now deprecated) please remove that requirement(recommended) or add requests to the requirements.txt file.
    • If the application is using Dash Snapshot functionality, you must add requests to the requirements.txt file.
  • Additional system level package changes. You can view the full list here:https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack-packages​
    • Please note our pyodbc and oracle examples behave as expected, but if you run into related issues installing a custom package please reach out to our support team at [email protected].
Notes:
  • If you have any questions or would like our team to assist you with an upgrade, reach out to us at [email protected]

Notice

Please be advised that, due to changes in the internal configuration, all Dash apps will be rebuilt during the upgrade and this rebuild can increase the time to complete the upgrade process.

Deprecated
