Arris 0.8.0
What's New
A new Canvas board, an infinite, freeform space where an analysis lives as connected objects instead of a single query tab. Chat with an AI agent that reads your schema and builds the pieces for you, or add and arrange them by hand.
- Build with the agent. Describe what you want (for example, "monthly sales by category") and the agent adds a query, a chart bound to it, and a short summary, then runs the query so the chart renders. Follow-up messages refine the board in place. The agent runs locally, sees only your schema and a summary of the board, and never receives your row data; when it needs rows, it asks and you approve with a Share results card.
- Six object kinds. Query cells (the same dialect-aware, schema-completing SQL editor as the main editor), tables, charts (the full chart editor), text, sticky notes, and shapes, all freely positioned, resized, and overlapped.
- Cell chaining. A query can read another cell's results with
FROM <cell title>, computed in an in-memory engine, so you can filter, re-aggregate, and reshape without re-hitting the database. Dependency arrows are drawn automatically. - Multiple connections per board. Point different query cells at different databases and let the agent work across all of them in one turn.
- A board is saved with your workspace, including its objects, layout, connection set, and the agent conversation. Closed boards are listed in the new Canvas section of the left sidebar.
Open one with the New Canvas button (the sparkles icon) in the editor tab bar. See the Canvas documentation for the full walkthrough.
Other changes:
- Line and area charts auto-fit the y-axis instead of forcing a zero baseline, so small variations are visible.
- Only the outer edge of a stacked bar is rounded, not every segment.
- Bumped
