4.0 Release Notes

Scuba release 3.15 includes the ability to get started with Scuba on your own single node AWS instance using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI); the ability to use a non-numeric aggregation (and thus, split-by) in an actor property with a trailing window; multiple measures at the same time in number view; automatic display of a raw event property as text; relative time support in BAQL (formerly known as BQL); and numerous minor improvements and bugfixes.

New features

Scuba release 3.15 (4.0) includes the following new features:

You can now get started with Scuba on your own single node AWS instance using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Contact Scuba Sales for more information.
Scuba is now a data integration partner with Confluent and Segment.
You can now use a non-numeric aggregation (and thus, split-by) in an actor property with a trailing window.
Number view can now display multiple measures at the same time. Note that if you pin a number view in 3.15, the measure that displays on the board is the first measure selected. To pin a different measure, unselect the measures before it. (In 3.15.1, the measure that displays is the last measure selected.)
You can automatically display a raw event property as text.
BAQL (also known as BQL) now supports relative time (for example, "this week"). Read about BAQL in Create queries using the behavioral analytics query language.

Additional enhancements and bug fixes

Scuba version 3.15 includes the following general enhancements:

Improved handling of "all others" in line and bar charts.

In-product help for string matchers in expression builder.

Several cases of invalid queries are no longer possible to construct.

The following improvements and bug fixes have been made to the query palette:

You can now assign a palette property the same name as another property (although you won't be able to run the query because of the duplicate names).
Explore now displays an indicator dot next to a query that uses a property defined through the query palette, The indicator dot disappears when the query does not use any properties created through the query palette.
The property lists now display any property created through the query palette in bold.
Properties created through the query palette now display at the top of the picker, so that you can use them easily when defining a query.
