The application now prioritizes custom user context when generating the initial set of six charts for new projects. This ensures that the first visualizations you see are more relevant to your specific data and presentation needs from the moment you start a new app.
The timeout for publishing applications to Plotly Cloud has been increased from 60 seconds to 5 minutes. This change ensures that users with slower internet connections can successfully deploy larger apps without encountering timeout errors.
The application now manages database connections more efficiently, particularly on macOS, to prevent system errors. Additionally, backend startup processes have been optimized to reduce wait times and prevent the application from hanging during the initial launch.
Fixed a race condition that caused the application to become unresponsive after completing browser-based authentication.
Fixed a bug that resulted in apps being published to Plotly Cloud with blank names.
Resolved an issue where fresh installations could fail to start due to incomplete backend environment setup.
Fixed inconsistencies in the project card menus to ensure that edit and delete options function correctly.
