What is Cluvio?
Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
What is Kubecost?
Kubecost cuts three 3.3.2 release candidates in two days, still without notes.
Kubecost opened the 3.3.2 patch line on November 11 and tagged rc.1 through rc.3 by November 13. Each is an automated in-code version bump with no described changes, as with every tag since October, when the 3.3.1 and 3.2.5 candidates went out the same way.

0.0ANALYTICS
Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.
◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
◆ Where it's heading
The focus has moved toward shared and embedded dashboards: localization, sharing-link management, change history and embed reliability. That suits teams using Cluvio to serve dashboards to customers or many regions. The analyst side keeps getting careful refinements, such as pivot drill-down and snippets.
◆ Prediction
Expect more work on embeds and sharing links, such as finer locale or access controls. The entries don't show further Static Tables work since June.
Kubecost
5.0ANALYTICS
Kubecost cuts three 3.3.2 release candidates in two days, still without notes.
◆ Current state
Kubecost opened the 3.3.2 patch line on November 11 and tagged rc.1 through rc.3 by November 13. Each is an automated in-code version bump with no described changes, as with every tag since October, when the 3.3.1 and 3.2.5 candidates went out the same way.
◆ Where it's heading
The quick run of candidates suggests 3.3.2 is close to a final tag. The public tags still say nothing about what the patch fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 3.3.2 final tag within days; what it changes will not be visible from these release notes.
