Jun 1, 2025June 2025—Metabase/Metabase: Documentation update for database routing configuration and constant rename. Updated guidance reflects replacement of the constant __METABASE_PRIMARY_DB__ with __METABASE_ROUTER__ to specify the router database, clarifying configuration for users and administrators. This doc-focused change aligns with the router-based architecture and improves onboarding and support readiness. No code changes were required this month; the impact is improved configuration clarity and reduced risk of misconfiguration. Commit reference: 45ec88bcf6869e2c66c377254b503d95aa96286f (PR #59189).

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (2024-11): Dashboard reliability and data integrity improvements in metabase/metabase. Key deliverable: bug fix enforcing required field validation for dashboard parameters across YAML configs, ensuring filters must be filled before dashboards are viewed or processed. This reduces incomplete filter usage and improves data accuracy and trust. Implemented in commit f9447d7435ee7204c8b80fda82dd3bf7e31a44e3 (fix dashboard filter required (#49627)).
