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 Rho?
Rho 0.5.3 lets Claude sessions run without Rho's own step and time caps.
Rho is an R IDE with an agentic layer whose feed is mostly release engineering. After the stable 0.4.0 in August shipped signed self-updating builds on three platforms, the 0.5 line surfaced with a CI fix in 0.5.2 and then 0.5.3, the first note in months about agent behavior: Claude sessions default to Auto mode and no longer hit Rho's step or wall-clock cap, and the agent bridge waits as long as a notebook cell needs.

Cluvio
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.
Rho
5.0ANALYTICS
Rho 0.5.3 lets Claude sessions run without Rho's own step and time caps.
◆ Current state
Rho is an R IDE with an agentic layer whose feed is mostly release engineering. After the stable 0.4.0 in August shipped signed self-updating builds on three platforms, the 0.5 line surfaced with a CI fix in 0.5.2 and then 0.5.3, the first note in months about agent behavior: Claude sessions default to Auto mode and no longer hit Rho's step or wall-clock cap, and the agent bridge waits as long as a notebook cell needs.
◆ Where it's heading
The agent is getting longer leashes. Removing Rho's own caps and letting the bridge wait on slow notebook cells both point at multi-step analysis runs that execute R code end to end rather than short chat turns. Packaging work continues alongside it, trimming bundled dependencies.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-runtime notes in the 0.5 line, such as how long-running sessions are surfaced or interrupted in the notebook; the feed has not yet shown what users see when a session runs long.
