Ongoing Visual Data Prep Enhancements
UI based in-line data table
Data Transformation Lineage
Refresh and add data available from analysis edit mode - The ability to both refresh and add data from the UI under data icon in edit mode. This eliminates the need to switch over to the data manager in order to initiate these common tasks.
Control Calculation Condition Message - Ability to control the message that a user sees when a calculation condition hasn't been met.
Update to Quote Interpretation in Set Analysis
This change ensures that set analysis interprets quotes in the same way as other areas of the engine and is consistent with our documentation and best practices. However, some developers may have incorrectly utilized the single quote in places that should have double quotes and this enforcement of the intended use will cause issues in these cases.
Apps created in prior versions will not need to be updated as the system will respect the old method for these apps. However, customers may opt to force all apps to respect the new rules.
This change (using single quotes for literal values) allows for the ability to support case sensitive search strings in Set Analysis.

This is fantastic news, I read this post first-thing in the morning yesterday and was absolutely ecstatic about the changes, it was almost like Christmas.
One thing though, why oh why is the left pane so wide now? Is this something that users were asking for? I can certainly see how it's helpful for infrequent users but it takes up so much precious horizontal space.
Hi Pablo - this is in reference to our initiative to make a Qlik Engine that runs on a Linux server instead of just MS Windows. Basically we are "drinking our own champagne" here 🙂 Starting with the November release the Qlik engine, that supports the demonstration apps, that are available from Qlik Sense Cloud, are being run on a Linux environment. In other words - another step closer - where those with Linux environments will also be able to run the Qlik Engine. Let me know if you need more information.
