5.2.1 - 2024-02-09

Changed

Fixed


5.2.0 - 2023-12-15

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 sudo in 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 on msodbcsql. This app has been updated to use msodbcsql v17.10.5.1, but if any of your
deployed apps were built using “MSSQL App” from earlier Dash Enterprise versions, they will require an update).

5.2.0-rc.3 - 2023-12-12

  • Environment variables set in the App Info are now used at build time as well as runtime.

  • Improved the look and feel of the Workspaces IDE for better consistency with the rest of Dash Enterprise.

  • Fixed a bug where environment variables added to a project.toml file had no effect when the app was previewed in workspaces.

  • Fixed a bug where the default pip version was different in Workspaces and in deployed apps. The default pip version is now 21.1.4. in both Workspaces and deployed apps.

  • Fixed a bug where app co-owners were unable to run git clone in a workspace over HTTPS unless they first deleted the ~/.gitconfig file.

  • Fixed a bug where the status indicator for services would always display “Offline”.

  • Fixed a bug where entering a search query in the Portal searchbar would cause the browser Back button to behave unexpectedly.

  • System administration/installation: Fixed a bug where deleting a user while the user was still logged in would cause the system to recreate the user, and cause the user to receive a “400: A user already exists with that username” error message when trying to use the App Manager.

  • System administration/installation: Fixed a bug where integrating an Okta SAML IdP could cause apps to be inaccessible due to too many redirects.

  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to update environment variables before a workspace was finished deploying, resulting in an empty workspace.

  • Fixed a bug where Dash apps with their viewer access level set to Unauthenticated and Visible in Portal set to Yes were not visible in the Portal.
