• New: a filter tray to see many filters at once!
• New: you can duplicate a column, which is useful if you want to play with edits but preserve the original column
• New: the file name displayed at the top is now editable
• Improved: for Rowboat+ users, the list of library files on the file selection page is now sorted most to least recently opened by default
• Fixed: bug where uploading with a different file name does not reflect in the UI
• Fixed: after signing in, you will be redirected to the original page you were trying to access

Highlights:

• Cell editing! Hover on a cell, click on the "Edit cell" button, and enter the new value. As always, let us know if you run into any issues with this new feature.
• When filtering, header charts will now keep colors consistent, so a color assigned to an entry will always use the same color for easy identification across subsets of data.

• Fix table cells not updating after changing column data type
• Add "Cancel"/"Close" buttons to sharing dialogs
• Choropleth maps: don't zoom in when active areas are spread out across most of the map
• Improve loader semantics and fix initial layout shift when reading file
• Fix for preview hover on histogram bucket with 0 rows
