What is Apache Superset?

Superset's feed tracks Helm chart tags, so the BI product itself stays invisible here.

Every entry in this feed is a Helm chart tag from the apache/superset repository, carrying no notes beyond a one-line project blurb. The chart has moved from 0.19.0 to 0.22.5 in about six weeks, a packaging cadence rather than an application one. Nothing here describes a change to Superset's dashboards, SQL Lab, or semantic layer.

What is performance?

performance keeps adding ways to check a model you have already fitted.

performance is at 0.17.1, which added check_priors() for prior predictive checks on Bayesian models and gave check_overdispersion(), check_model() and check_predictions() arguments to control residual type and plot range. The releases before it are a similar mix: a -2LL criterion column in test_likelihoodratio(), Bayesian predictive checks routed through modelbased, and in 0.16.0 a set of breaking renames including RMSA to the correct RMSR.

Apache Superset vs performance: editorial side-by-side

Apache Superset logo5.0

Superset's feed tracks Helm chart tags, so the BI product itself stays invisible here.

◆ Current state

Every entry in this feed is a Helm chart tag from the apache/superset repository, carrying no notes beyond a one-line project blurb. The chart has moved from 0.19.0 to 0.22.5 in about six weeks, a packaging cadence rather than an application one. Nothing here describes a change to Superset's dashboards, SQL Lab, or semantic layer.

◆ Where it's heading

The chart is being cut on a fast, small-increment schedule — five patches inside 0.22.x in under three weeks. That pattern usually reflects deployment plumbing being tuned against a moving upstream image rather than any single problem being chased. Until the crawl points at the release notes for Superset itself, this feed will keep reporting packaging motion and nothing about the product.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued 0.22.x patch tags at a similar pace, with a 0.23.0 chart bump likely when the next Superset application release lands. The entries themselves will stay note-free unless the project starts populating chart release bodies.

performance keeps adding ways to check a model you have already fitted.

◆ Current state

performance is at 0.17.1, which added check_priors() for prior predictive checks on Bayesian models and gave check_overdispersion(), check_model() and check_predictions() arguments to control residual type and plot range. The releases before it are a similar mix: a -2LL criterion column in test_likelihoodratio(), Bayesian predictive checks routed through modelbased, and in 0.16.0 a set of breaking renames including RMSA to the correct RMSR.

◆ Where it's heading

Two consistent habits. Diagnostics keep gaining arguments to narrow what is examined — ppc_range, x_limits, maximum_dots, show_ci — which reads as a package being used on models large and awkward enough that the defaults stopped working. And simulated residuals via DHARMa keep displacing standard ones as the basis for the checks themselves.

◆ Prediction

With check_priors() newly added and Bayesian predictive checks now routed through modelbased, the next release most likely extends the Bayesian diagnostic set rather than reworking the frequentist checks.
