Release Notes
2026.2.21
Feature Enhancements
-
Introduced support for Complex Datatypes for DFS.
- Profiling and quality checks now support Array and Struct field types, expanding coverage to nested and multi-valued data structures.
- Array fields are profiled with element-level context, allowing quality checks to validate each element individually using supported rule types such as Expected Values, Matches Pattern, and Min/Max Length.
- Struct fields are automatically flattened into individual scalar columns during profiling, enabling full data quality rule inference and monitoring on nested data.
- Flattening supports recursive traversal up to a configurable depth, with path-based naming conventions for generated columns.
- Quality check rule selection adapts to complex field types, showing applicable rules based on whether the check targets the array or its individual elements.
- Field tree views and profile pages display nested field hierarchies with updated iconography for clear identification of complex field types.
- Source record tables and container previews display raw complex values, allowing users to inspect nested and array data directly during anomaly investigation.
-
Introduced MCP-powered AI assistant with built-in chat interface and Bring Your Own Key LLM support.
- Added an interactive chat interface directly in the platform, enabling users to perform data quality tasks through natural language conversations with AI-powered assistance.
- Users can configure their preferred LLM provider and API key under Settings, with support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock, Cohere, Groq, Mistral, and Hugging Face models.
- The assistant leverages MCP tools to explore datastores, validate queries, create computed assets, manage quality checks, investigate anomalies, and analyze quality scores within a guided workflow.
- Chat responses include real-time tool step progress indicators, displaying each action the assistant performs with expandable input and output details.
- Suggested prompts guide users toward common workflows such as building computed tables, creating quality checks, and analyzing data quality trends.
-
Introduced version history for containers.
- Users can now view a timeline of changes made to any container directly from the container overview page, displaying the editor and timestamp for each modification.
- Computed tables include a side-by-side diff visualization of query changes, making it easy to compare before and after states for troubleshooting.
-
Added n8n workflow integration as a flow action.
- Users can configure n8n webhook URLs and secrets directly on each flow action, enabling automated workflows triggered by flow executions.
- Supports operation-completed, anomaly, and anomaly status change triggers, sending full context payloads to n8n for downstream automation.
-
Added Service Principal authentication support for SQL Server datastores.
- Enables Azure Active Directory OAuth-based connections using tenant ID, client ID, and client secret or certificate credentials as an alternative to username and password authentication.
General Fixes and Improvements
-
Fixed missing loading indicators on the Explore fields list and Activity page tabs.
-
Corrected container creation returning a generic server error instead of a proper conflict response when a container with the same name already existed in the datastore.
-
Resolved incremental ID timezone parsing issue that applied local timezone instead of UTC, causing inaccurate freshness metrics when incremental filtering was enabled.
-
Corrected data catalog sync summary to only count assets that were successfully synced, preventing misleading totals when individual asset syncs failed.

- Added filter option for aborted status in the flow executions list for easier tracking.
- Flows without actions are now validated and blocked from publishing to prevent incomplete workflow configurations.
-
Added support for custom anomaly messages from source record fields.
- Quality checks can now use a field value from the source record as the anomaly message, replacing the auto-generated violation text with business-specific context.
- Custom anomaly message field can be configured in both individual check forms and bulk check creation workflows.
- A field selector is available when container fields are loaded, with a manual text input fallback for flexible configuration.
-
Added rule type filter to the Observability listing.
- Users can now filter containers by observability rule type, choosing between Volumetric and Freshness checks for more focused monitoring.
- Filter availability adapts to the current context, displaying relevant filter options across Explore, Datastore, and Container views.
- Improved column alignment and heatmap display across different screen sizes for better readability.
General Fixes and Improvements
