- Goliath. More Integration with GitHub
User can set GitHub location associated with given workspace/tab, commit changes, commit on run, auto commit on run, etc..
Sidenote: Why Integration with GitHub is important!? Just few points …
- GitHub is a repository
- It makes it easy to contribute to your and your Team’s projects
There is a wiki and issue tracker that makes it easy to include more in-depth documentation and get feedback about your project. If you want to contribute, you just fork a project, make your changes and then send them a pull request using GitHub web interface. - Track changes in your code across versions
When multiple people collaborate on a project, it’s hard to keep track revisions—who changed what, when, and where those files are stored. GitHub takes care of this problem by keeping track of all the changes that have been pushed to the repository. You can have a version history of your code so that previous versions are not lost with every iteration. - Documentation
By using GitHub, you make it easier to get excellent documentation about your project. - And many more …
- Magnus. More Integration with GitHub
User can set GitHub location associated with the workflow, pull, commit, and auto commit changes. - Magnus. New built-in parameters: var_yesterdayDate and var_shareLink

See https://wiki.viantinc.com/display/PAS/Role+Transfer+APIs for details - Magnus Editor. Workflow Graph View
Added a graphical navigator to the right of the workflow editor which allows quicker access to tasks by scrolling to a task when clicking its icon in the graph. Graph View allows to see whole workflow outline at once. Also, when workflow is in edit mode, Graph View reflect changes on fly, etc.

- IntelliSense (IS) – added option for Search style to support IntelliSense for data objects
When typing project, dataset, table, and column names in a query they can be matched anywhere in their name by text typed. Previously, typed text would match on the start of the name. Now, if any of the typed text matches anywhere in the word the item will be displayed.
An option has been added under Settings to toggle this behavior.
Hover over Settings, identify option Match Start of Word and check or uncheck to set behavior.
If checked, the match will perform like it previously did which is to match by the start of the word.

- Goliath now supports BigQuery Sessions recently introduced by Google
In Goliath, user can create new session(s), multiple Tabs can join same session … open Options Panel to enable Session Mode
As FYI: Typical uses for a session include the following:
Maintain transient session data. Define variables and temporary tables once and use them throughout the session.
Look up query history by session. If you want to keep track of a behavior that happened at a particular time during the session, you can view the history of changes that were made during the session.
Create multi-statement transactions over multiple queries. Within a session, you can begin a transaction, make changes, and view the temporary result before deciding to commit or rollback. You can do this over several queries in the session. If you do not use a session, a multi-statement transaction needs to be completed in a single query. - Table preview (new shortcut) – Command + Shift + Click on table reference in query text navigates to respective table in Navigation Panel and auto-open preview for this table
