Fixed an intermittent restore issue where apps were restarted in a loop.
Fixed an issue where groups restrictions were not working with SAML setup on Azure AD.
Fixed an XSS vulnerability in dash-snapshots (please upgrade to dash-snapshots v1.4.6).
Fixed app sorting on the Portal page in gallery view mode.
Automatically re-label data volume and included custom policy to improve compatibility
with SELinux.
Fixed an issue on DE that prevented the local proxy mode to be disabled after
the initial configuration.
Ensure DE does not orphan containers due to failed deploys.
Fixed dash-snapshots' PDF generation in workspaces.
Fixed a bug on DEK that caused Dash Apps to be deployed on the wrong namespace after an app deletion.
Fixed a bug in Dash Enterprise Kubernetes where workspaces were being created from sample app in certain cases.
Fixed a bug where File transfers and User Deletion were not working correctly in Dash Enterprise Kubernetes.
Fixed a bug where licensed users and running tasks were not displayed correcly in User Management panel of Dash Enterprise Kubernetes.

certain Dash apps, and makes the Dash Enterprise Kubernetes behaviour match
the behaviour in single-node Dash Enterprise.
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.
This release removes support for older versions of TLS (SSL) and for some
lower-security ciphers. Only TLS 1.2 and newer is supported. As a result
of this change:
Dash Enterprise and Chart Studio Enterprise no longer support Android
v4.3 and older, IE v10 and older, and Safari v6 and older.
Clients using Microsoft Active Directory 2012, 2016, or 2019 as a SAML IdP
may need to activate strong authentication for .NET applications. For
more information and instructions, see Microsoft's documentation.
The next major release of Dash Enterprise will no longer support
dash-snapshots version 1.2.6 and older. If any of your Dash apps are pinned to
dash-snapshots version 1.2.6 or older they will need to be updated and
re-deployed.
The next major release of Dash Enterprise will drop support for self-serve
account creation. Starting from Dash Enterprise 4.2, only private mode will be
available for Plotly-managed authentication.
The next release of Chart Studio Enterprise will no longer render figures
using the contourgl
or area
traces, or polar charts using the scatter
trace. Note: any chart created using a version of the Chart Studio editor or
using a version of Plotly.py or Plotly.R released in the last two years will
be unaffected by these changes.
The /Manager/api/generate_report
API endpoint is deprecated and will be removed
in the next major release of Dash Enterprise.
Added an option to customize the Keep Alive timeout for incoming requests.
This fixes a compatibility issue where requests would return 503 errors when
Dash Enterprise is running behind Azure Front Door. To fix these errors the
timeout value must be greater than 90s.
SAML authentication is now supported in Dash Enterprise Kubernetes.
Dash Design Kit:
Added full compatibility with the open-source [Dash Bootstrap
Components](https://dash-bootstrap-components.opensource.faculty.ai/)

Added full compatibility with the [Dash
DAQ](https://dash.plotly.com/dash-daq) (Data AcQuisition) library. Both
light and dark DAQ components will be themed, and broken rendering of
certain components (including BooleanSwitch
, PowerButton
, and
ToggleSwitch
).
Added "Controls" tab to Theme Editor, along with new theme
properties, in
order to customize the appearance of input controls and buttons
(dcc.Dropdown
, dcc.Input

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.
We will remove support for running Chart Studio Enterprise and Dash Enterprise
on the same server in an upcoming release. If you are currently running both
products on one server, please contact our support team.
Dash Enterprise now supports high availability and horizontal scaling on Amazon Web
Services EKS and Google Cloud Platform GKE. This is a separately licensed option; please

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 onpremise.support@plot.ly
.
Notes:
If you have any questions or would like our team to assist you with an

been updated, and certain files may be parsed differently. (Note that loading
CSV and Excel files in the Plotly 2 Workspace is unaffected, and Dash Apps
are unaffected).
Dash App login reliability has been improved.
The "login" button no longer appears briefly when visiting a portal that
does not require login.
Error handling in the Dash App Manager has been improved.
Multicategory axes are now displayed correctly in Editor and Viewer.

Fixed an issue that caused a "GraphQL Error" for some users of the Dash
Deployment Server Portal and Dash App Manager.
Improved the reliability of the image server component used in Dash Reporting
Engine and to produce images for Chart Studio.
Removed some obsolete fields from the user listing in the admin interface.
Removed a migration that no longer exists from the online migration status
page used during upgrades.
Fixed error message in app overview when apps use more than 1 GB of memory.
Fixed authentication security issue with restricted Dash apps.
Fixed an SSL/TLS certificate issue that prevented some users from upgrading from previous versions.
Existing SSL/TLS certificates are preserved when upgrading from previous versions
Fixed missing haproxy config file changes required for streaming and DDS-only mode.
The Dash App Portal offers a fully configurable and themable list of
Dash Apps on your Dash Deployment Server, intended for end users to browse.
Dash Deployment Server now works in airgap (fully offline) mode. See the
airgap chapter of the On-Premise instructions for information on limitations,
including the need for you to set up a PyPI mirror.
Logs for failed Dash App deployments can be viewed in Dash Deployment Server.
Custom TrueType fonts can be added to Chart Studio, and are used in plots and images.
Added support for EMF image generation.
Plots can be styled using themes (built in, user-owned, and shared themes are supported).
Enhancements to Chart Studio's grid functionality and the data selection workflow:
Pre-existing grids can be linked to a plot via the Import modal's URL tab.
Added ability to create multiple traces at once via the grid context menu.
Data references can be switched from one grid to another via the grid context menu.
Added grid drag-and-fill functionality for numbers, dates, weekday and month names.

plotly.js version 1.43.2
, which includes:
Selection by clicking on points can be enabled via the new clickmode
layout attribute and the select
flag.
Stacked area charts - these are created via the new stackgroup
and stackgaps
attributes for scatter traces.
barpolar
traces, which replace and augment area traces.
parcats
(aka parallel categories) traces.
Dash App authentication is now performed by Dash Deployment Server,
simplifying configuration and avoiding the need for the dash-auth
package in most cases. If dash-auth
is currently in use, you should
upgrade to dash-auth==1.3.0
or newer, or else users will need to log
in twice per app. See the
for details.
An updated license file (.rli) is required for all customers using airgap
(fully offline) installations. This should be installed before upgrading to
this release. Contact Plotly On-Premise Support
if you need an updated license file.
Customers who are upgrading from older Plotly On-Premise releases will need
to ensure Replicated 2.31.1 or newer is installed before upgrading.
Attempts to upgrade Plotly On-Premise to 3.0.0 or newer without doing this
will fail with an error.
Dash Apps are no longer managed from "My Files" in Chart Studio. New apps will not appear in this view, and existing apps may not be updated. To manage app permissions, use the app's settings page in the Dash App Manager. For a user-visible list of applications, use the new Dash App Portal.
The PDF reporting endpoint for Dash Apps has been changed. See the API documentation for details.
The Chart Studio editor is now based on react chart editor, offering more trace types and more control over plot styling.
The Plotly White theme is used by default in the Chart Studio editor.
Collaboration workflow changes:
When a plot but not its underlying grid has been shared with a collaborator, the collaborator can edit the styles of the original plot without making a copy of the plot.
Collaborators cannot change the names of the plot or grid files that were shared with them, and cannot add new grids to shared plots (only the owner can do this).
When a folder is shared with a collaborator, all files within the folder are also shared.
The Dash Deployment Server now automatically redirects to include a trailing slash on Dash App domains. Dash apps will no longer be accessible without a trailing slash. This may pose an issue if an alias is being used for the DDS domain name and no trailing slash redirection occurs.
The SP Metadata URL will need to be updated if SAML was previously enabled. All authentication-related requests are now under a new /Auth path. The SP Metadata URL will be updated to reflect this change and the SAML IDP will need to be updated with this new SP Metadata URL.
Sharing a plot in private link mode no longer adds the share_key twice to the URL.
Various Dash Deployment Server stability fixes.
Backend PLOTLY_CUSTOM_STYLE works again.
Themes were tiered on onPremise instances, fixed.
Title of plot displays correctly on window tab.
Sharing and Embedding features work from feed again.
Removed Falcon query editor from inside of Chart Studio workspace. Queries can now be managed from the built-in Falcon instance, with a more fine-grained scheduler.
Certain chart editor features have not been ported to the new react-chart-editor: animation creation, mobile breakpoints, GeoJSON, certain annotation presets, certain analysis types and analysis metadata.
The grid metadata creation UI has been removed.
Fixed the imageserver service restart behaviour. The
imageserver will now restart all necessary services when needed.
Fixed a security issue surrounding password resets under certain
specific conditions.
Fixed error "containers have stopped unexpectedly".
Fixed odd UI behaviour in IE11.
Fixed stuck on "Starting content server.." when analytics is enabled.
Fixed deleting users via the admin portal.
Fixed/improved minor DDS UI behaviour.
Importing from SQL in the Chart Studio interface is now deprecated and will
be removed in a future release in favour of the new and more powerful Falcon
SQL Client features.
The next release of Plotly On-Premise will include a new Chart Studio editor.
As a result, certain functions within the Chart Studio editor are now
deprecated and may be removed: GeoJSON, certain MapBox styling options,
analyses other than curve-fitting and moving-averages, the ability to create
animations, the ability to configure mobile breakpoints, and per-data-point
annotations. Please contact us if you are still using these features.
Domain based routing for Dash Apps is no longer supported.
The Dash Deployment Server has many new features and a fresh look for the
web UI!
Dash App analytics and logs can be viewed using the web UI.
Environment variables can be added via the web UI. (These can be used to
configure Dash Apps.)

statistics regarding your On-Premise usage to better support your
installation.
Logging out from the Dash Deployment Server now logs you out from the
Chart Studio as well.
Many stability and reliability improvements have been made to the Dash
Deployment Server.
Fixed filenames used during file exports: an extension is not added if
one is already present, preventing duplication.
SAML auth users are no longer prompted for password when resetting API key.
Fixed map hash bucket size nginx issue that was preventing upgrades on some systems.
Dash Apps can be shared with LDAP groups.
The LDAP DN is now available to Dash Apps for authenticated users.
Logging in to the Dash App Manager with LDAP enabled has been fixed.
Dash Apps now default to Python 3.6.5 in Dash On Premise. If your app
only works with Python 2.x, please add a runtime.txt
file to your
app's root directory containing the text python-2.7.14
.
Domain based routing for Dash Apps will be removed in the next release of
Plotly On-Premise. Please contact us if you are using (or need) this feature.
The following unsupported/deprecated endpoints have been removed:

prevent issues related to building Docker images on systems behind
SSL interception proxies.
no_proxy/NO_PROXY environment variables are now set during Dash App
builds to continue to allow for direct connections the Plotly On
Premise backend, even when an HTTP/HTTPS proxy is in place.
HTTP and HTTPS proxy variables are now set during Dash App builds when
needed. This allows Dash Apps to be built when a proxy is needed and
an internal-only nameserver is in place.
Host SSL/TLS certificates are made available to Dash Apps. This allows
Dash Apps to make https calls during build and at run time, even when
a SSL/TLS interception proxy is present.
Dash Apps can now connect directly to the Plotly On Premise backend,
fixing issues caused by external routing failures and self-signed
certificates. Note that version 0.0.11
or higher of the dash-auth
package is required to use this capability.
Fixed routing issue with streaming service that was causing 503 errors
when streaming was disabled.
Fixed ChunkedEncodingError
(IncompleteRead
) issue with streaming

Please follow the upgrade instructions in the Plotly On-Premise 2.3.0
documentation. Some important notes are highlighted here.
In Plotly On-Premise 2.3.0, we've added more options for
configuring SSL certificates. Please check the options in the *Domain
Names and SSL Certificates* section to make sure they're configured
correctly for you. In particular, if you had previously uploaded SSL
certificates and keys, you'll need to choose "Upload an existing
certificate and key" and upload them again in this version.
We've also made streaming optional in this release to avoid
configuration for customers who don't need this feature. If you were
previously using streaming (or want to enable it now), make sure
it's enabled (using Enable Streaming in the Streaming section) and
that the Streaming Domain Name and Certificate for Streaming are
still correct.
Server side parsing (accessible only from the /v2/grids/upload endpoint)
will be removed in the next release of Plotly On-Premise. Please contact
