August 2025 — rilldata/rill: Focused on UI clarity and data presentation. Delivered two main changes: (1) User Group Dialogs: Clarify Search Placeholder by updating placeholders in CreateUserGroupDialog and EditUserGroupDialog to 'Search to add/remove users' to guide admins. This reduces onboarding time and user errors. The change is backed by commit 0048f306dec353541c544a4f007a0df339a221ff and ties to issue #7844. (2) Pivot Table Totals Row Styling Fix: Corrected styling for pivot table totals by introducing conditional CSS classes so measures and totals render correctly, and ensured the first dimensional value in the totals row is bolded as intended. This improves readability and accuracy of pivot summaries. Implemented via commit 84871b612fccbc16483105023a52ff442ee5f985 and aligns with issue #7823.
