Release 6.4

August 1, 2019

This release of 

D s product
r true

 features broad improvements to the recipe development experience, including multi-step operations and improved copied and paste within the Recipe panel. As a result of the panel's redesign, you can now create user-defined macros, which are sets of sequenced and parameterized steps for easy reuse and adaptation for other recipes. When jobs are executed, detailed monitoring provides enhanced information on progress of the job through each phase of the process. You can also connect to a broader ecosystem of sources and targets, including enhancements to the integration with Tableau Server and AWS Glue. New for this release: read from your Snowflake sources. Read on for additional details on new features and enhancements.
