release-0.85

Snowflake Live Connector​

You can now create metrics views directly on Snowflake via the new live connector, expanding Rill's OLAP support beyond ClickHouse and DuckDB.

Improved First Mile Experience​

The onboarding experience has been improved to make getting started with Rill smoother and more guided.

Preview Mode for Rill Developer​

A new Preview Mode lets you preview your dashboards locally before deploying, giving you a faster feedback loop during development.

Window Support for Glob Partitions​

You can now use start and end to filter glob partitions by path range, making it easy to process only a specific window of data:

#models/s3_model.yaml

#Fixed: Hard-coded start path
partitions:
  glob:
    path: s3://bucket/year=*/month=*/day=*
    start: s3://bucket/year=2026

# Dynamic: Last 180 entries, i.e. 180 days
partitions:
  glob:
    path: s3://bucket/year=*/month=*/day=*
    last: 180

Cmd+J to Toggle AI Chat​
