New Features

Application Framework Upgrade: Dash 4

The underlying framework for all Plotly Studio projects has been upgraded to Dash 4. This modernization ensures better usability, component stability, and streamlined configurations. All new projects will default to Dash 4, while existing projects will be automatically migrated to the new version to ensure compatibility with future updates.

Expanded File Support For Data Chat

The data source chat interface now supports a wider range of file types for analysis. Users can now upload and interact with Excel files (.xlsx), Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb), and various text or code files. This expansion allows for more flexible data exploration directly within the chat environment.

Improvements

Enhanced Component Editing Speed

The component editing process has been significantly optimized. By implementing a new diff-based editing system, the time required to process simple changes has been reduced from approximately 16 seconds to 5 seconds. This update also includes improved error handling and retry logic for more complex edits, resulting in a more responsive design experience.

SSL Certificate Support

This improvement ensures better compatibility with corporate networks and custom security configurations when making external data requests.
