We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.6.0, further enhancing the power, flexibility, and intelligence of your favorite platform.
This latest version introduces Environment Variables in templates, allowing teams to create a unified experience that modifies both data product information and environment variables seamlessly. The brand-new Witboost Info Panel gives platform administrators quick access to essential insights like installed version, licensing details, and module list.
Following the success of tech adapter management, webhooks can now be managed entirely through the Admin Panel, simplifying the configuration of Witboost and streamlining administrative workflows.
Platform teams and users benefit from a more intuitive experience with improved error visibility in the Edit & Test page, a streamlined visual guardian policy picker for Data Contract management, and smarter event tracking—including repository information, user source, and group notifications. The Access Request notification now aligns with the full platform notification flow, supporting custom email triggers. Additionally, teams can now retrieve lists of notifications with enhanced filtering and management capabilities.
The Data Contract Copilot debuts in this release, leveraging the Witty Autocomplete Agent to offer intelligent suggestions for descriptions, business terms, tags, and many other fields, letting platform teams craft the optimal user experience. This new Witty capability enables faster, smarter contract creation through AI-powered autocompletion.
A new template demonstrates how to manage unstructured information, extracting relevant data, structuring it, and publishing it into databases. This repeatable process serves as the foundation for turning documents into valuable data products, expanding the platform's capability to handle diverse data sources.
The Admin Panel has been reorganized for simpler navigation, bringing together the Software Catalog, Task List, Installed Actions, and Template Editor in one centralized location.
Witboost 2.6.0 is packed with improvements to help enterprises build, govern, and operate data products with greater agility and control. For technical details and migration guidance, read the official release notes.
