Added a Data Sources feature that allows data stored in Databricks, Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, or AWS S3 to be more easily used in workspaces and deployed apps. Once a data source is added by a user with a license seat, authorized users can link it to their apps. A new data-sources library is available in dash-enterprise-libraries that handles the connection code.
Added a new App Ownership tab in Platform and Users where administrators can view and manage the owners and co-owners of all apps on Dash Enterprise.
Added a Python Version setting in the Admin Settings where administrators can set a Python version that will be used for all newly created pip-based apps (and their workspaces, if applicable). Does not apply to App Studio. App developers can override the Python version for their apps in the App Info.
System administration/installation: Added support for single server installations on RHEL 8.10.
System administration/installation: Added support for integrating external identity providers that use a self-signed/internal certificate.

App owners and co-owners can now view values for global environment variables.
Improved app transfers by allowing administrators to change ownership of apps even when their owner has been deleted.
The default “Max Replicas” for new apps is now 10.
Apps deployed to Dash Enterprise now have their HTTP traffic compressed, improving app performance. If you have a Dash app with compress=False, this directive will be ignored when the app is deployed to Dash Enterprise.
When an administrator turns on “Hide Plotly Branding and App Manager Links,” users with the viewer role only will no longer see the Personal Settings link from the Portal.
When memory usage reaches 80% of the licensed memory limit, scaling app web process replicas (as well as autoscaling, if applicable) will be disabled, and a warning will be displayed at the top of the App Manager.

Changed the button name for initializing a new app from “Initialize App” to “+ Dash App”.
When the App Info is accessed before the app is fully initialized, the page now periodically refreshes and a loading animation is displayed.
System administration/installation: Improved installations on a single server by adding a bundle of setup tools in Installation Plans. This bundle contains preinstalled packages that previously needed to be downloaded at install time. As a result, airgapped installations no longer require an internet-connected bootstrap node, and internet-connected installations require less outbound communication.
System administration/installation: Installations on a single server now create a de5-bootstrap pod into which key tools are installed, as well as a script for entering this pod. Entering the de5-bootstrap pod is now required to change the KOTS admin password.
System administration/installation: Changed the officially supported way to back up and restore Dash Enterprise instances that are installed on a single server. These instances must now be backed up and restored using cloud provider snapshotting tools.
System administration/installation: Updated the multi-node installation scripts to install metrics-server only if the cloud provider doesn’t supply it.
System administration/installation: Auth server requests from apps and workspaces are now made using Keycloak’s internal URL. This reduces network hops that could lead to latency resulting in connection resets or timeouts. Existing apps and workspaces will need to be rebuilt to take advantage of this change.
System administration/installation: Reduced the amount of calls that the backend makes to Keycloak in order to prevent Keycloak from going down in high pressure situations.
System administration/installation: Changed the command for generating a support bundle. See the “Support” documentation page for details.

Fixed a bug where users with the licensed_user and admin roles would lose access to their apps when the admin role was removed.
Fixed a bug where members of a child group that has multiple parent groups had incorrect permissions.
Fixed a bug where adding or removing viewers from a Restricted app did not change the app’s “Updated” information.
Fixed a bug where adding a user as a co-owner or viewer to an app did not display the user’s name if one was available.
Fixed a bug where, when searching for users in Viewer Access, performing an action with a user in the search results would clear the search but not the text entered in the searchbar.
Fixed a bug where a deleted global environment variable would not appear in the list of recently deleted global environment variables in the App Info if the app had never been deployed.
Fixed a bug where adding a new global environment variable would cause the list to be incomplete if it spanned more than one page until the page was hard refreshed.
System administration/installation: Fixed a bug where internet-connected Dash Enterprise instances with a proxy were not able to immediately get the latest enterprise libraries (such as Dash Design Kit), App Catalog apps, and documentation.
System administration/installation: Fixed a bug where installing Dash Enterprise on an airgapped single server with a certificate whose root CA is internal to the organization would fail.

System administration/installation: Removed the ability for Dash Enterprise instances installed on a single server to be restored onto a different VM.
Istio version support change: Dash Enterprise 5.4.2 uses Istio version 1.21.2, which is not automatically changed with Dash Enterprise upgrades. (Applies to Dash Enterprise instances that have Istio installed. Uninstalling Istio in single server instances is supported starting with this Dash Enterprise version.)
KOTS Admin Console version support change: Dash Enterprise 5.4.2 uses version 1.108.12 of the KOTS Admin Console, which is not automatically changed with Dash Enterprise upgrades.
Gatekeeper version support change: Dash Enterprise 5.4.2 uses version 3.14.2 of Gatekeeper, which is not automatically changed with Dash Enterprise upgrades.
Additional information: Upgrading to Dash Enterprise 5.4.2 causes workspaces to rebuild. If you are using Dash Enterprise in an airgapped environment or an environment that uses a proxy, workspaces will need to be rebuilt manually after upgrade to ensure they have the latest workspaces version.
Added the ability to open App Studio from within Dash Enterprise.
Added horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA) to app web process replicas. Dash Enterprise will automatically scale apps to meet demand using the minimum and maximum replica count defined in the process resources. The minimum and maximum replica counts are set to 1 by default, and you can change these defaults to enable autoscaling. If the value for “Replicas” was edited prior to upgrading Dash Enterprise to this version, it will correspond to the maximum replica count after the upgrade.
Added global environment variables, configurable by administrators, that apply to all apps and workspaces on Dash Enterprise.
Added support for pip 23.3.2.
System administration/installation: Added support for pulling Dash Enterprise images from an internal registry during internet-connected installations and upgrades.
System administration/installation: Added support for pulling Dash Enterprise images from Artifact Registry during installations and upgrades.
Changed the way Plotly delivers new versions of Dash Enterprise Workspaces to internet-connected Dash Enterprise instances. It is now possible to obtain new versions of Workspaces without upgrading Dash Enterprise, as long as the environment allows communication to api.github.com and quay.io. When a new Workspace version is available, a “Rebuild and Update” button, along with a notification, will be displayed in the Workspace section of the App Info.
Changed the default Python version for deployed apps and workspaces from 3.8.16 to 3.10.11. Existing apps without a project.toml file that overrides the default Python version will change to Python 3.10.11 when next deployed. This may cause incompatibility with app dependencies. Notably, older versions of psycopg2-binary are incompatible with Python 3.10.11.
App co-owners can now open the workspace IDE in read-only mode. Read-only mode allows viewing files but not editing them or using the terminal.
App co-owners can now access the workspace development site.
Users in a workspace now see a session expiry warning five minutes before their session expires. They are prompted to save their work and log back in to continue their session.

Improved environment variable name validation and error message.
Replaced the “Dashboard Engine” page with an “App Studio” page in the Capabilities section.
System administration/installation: Improved the process for changing the Dash Enterprise hostname. Administrators with access to the KOTS Admin Console can now specify a new hostname in the Config tab. Administrators are responsible for making the corresponding changes to DNS entries, and should expect Dash Enterprise to be inaccessible while the entries propagate.

Fixed a bug where a user that was given viewer access to an app was able to search for it in the App Manager even though they weren’t an owner or co-owner.
Fixed a bug where removing co-owners after filtering them would remove all co-owners instead of only those selected.
Fixed a bug where users with the admin role only were able to deploy apps over HTTPS.
Fixed a bug where users with the admin role only were unable to use the workspace Restart button (but were able to use Stop and Start).
Fixed a bug where Viewer Analytics were unavailable for Django apps.
Fixed a bug where Dash apps using the rpy2 package would fail to run in workspaces and deploy. If your app depends on rpy2, add an environment variable with name R_HOME and value /layers/fagiani_apt/apt/usr/lib/R in order for it to successfully deploy and run in workspaces.
System administration/installation: Removed support for pulling Dash Enterprise images from Google Container Registry (GCR) during installations and upgrades (GCR has been deprecated by Google).
System administration/installation: Removed scripts for migrating from Dash Enterprise 4.X to 5.X.

5.2.0
Breaking change reminder: As of 5.2.0-rc.1, app pods no longer run as root. As a result, if your apps contain a predeploy script that installs system-level dependencies, you’ll need to update the predeploy script to use
sudoin order for your apps to continue working with Dash Enterprise. For example, the following script that installs the ODBC driver
txt cp /app/odbc.ini /etc/odbc.ini cp /app/odbcinst.ini /etc/odbcinst.ini
would need to be updated to
txt sudo cp /app/odbc.ini /etc/odbc.ini sudo cp /app/odbcinst.ini /etc/odbcinst.ini
Breaking change reminder: As of 5.2.0-rc.1, apps and workspaces use Ubuntu 22, which may not be supported by older drivers. If your apps depend on drivers, you may need change their versions in order for your apps to continue working with Dash Enterprise.
Notably, if your apps use
msodbcsql, you’ll need to upgrade it to v17.10.5.1. (“MSSQL App” from the App Catalog is an example of an app that depends onmsodbcsql. This app has been updated to usemsodbcsqlv17.10.5.1, but if any of your
deployed apps were built using “MSSQL App” from earlier Dash Enterprise versions, they will require an update).
