Saiku Cloud Changelog
This is the customer-facing recap of what changed in the Saiku Cloud platform — your dashboard, the agent gateway, tenancy, and the governance surface. It’s distinct from the Saiku engine changelog: for engine releases (query, charting, exports), see the Saiku Changelog.
Unreleased · Rolling
Shipping to staging continuously since 1.0.0. The big one is that cube authoring became visual.
Build a cube by drawing it
The schema canvas replaces hand-written XML. Lay your tables and joins out, build dimensions and hierarchies, define facts and measures, then confirm the cube before saving — four tabs, in the order you’d naturally work. Full tour in Schema designer.
What landed along the way:
- Every action is undoable. The whole canvas snapshots on each mutation, so experimenting is cheap.
- Create Joins Mode enforces 1:1 joins as you draw them, with a ⌘-click accelerator for the fast path.
- Editable levels and attributes. Select a level to edit it in the inspector, reorder levels within a hierarchy, and override attribute properties directly.
- Time intelligence, declared not written. Mark a dimension as a Time type, set per-level types, and add YoY / PoP / YTD calculations from a panel rather than an MDX formula.
- Semantic annotations in the inspector — descriptions,
synonyms and PII markers, the same
saiku.semantic.*vocabulary the AI layer reads. - Confirm cube shows the model as a diagram, with draggable cards and readable edge labels, plus orphan warnings for anything left unwired.
- Export as Mondrian 4 XML or YAML from the Code tab.
- Draft with AI hands off to the canvas, so an AI proposal is a starting point you keep editing rather than a black box.
Connecting a warehouse got much easier
- Guided forms for every dialect. Named fields — host, port, database — instead of a JDBC URL you assemble yourself. Saiku builds the URL, shows you what it built, and keeps an Advanced toggle for the exotic cases. BigQuery takes a pasted service-account JSON key and a dataset name.
- Test a saved connection from its row, without recreating it.
- ClickHouse is visible in the picker but not yet selectable.
Cube library
- Templates provision into a connection. Pick one on a connection row and Saiku creates the tables, seeds sample data, and deploys the cube — idempotently, so a re-run is a no-op. Available for all warehouse dialects, and all four templates are now Mondrian 4. See Cube library.
Privacy
- Format-preserving masks. A redacted email now reads
j***@e******.comrather than a block of asterisks, so masked data still looks like data. - Read-time enforcement for PII-bound embed tokens, so a token minted with forced redaction stays redacted at query time.
Billing
- A tier-comparison matrix on the billing page, and
?plan=links that deep-link to a specific tier.
Support
- A Support link in the sidebar replaces the floating chat bubble.
Security
- Agent-surface hardening across the gateway following an internal audit.
1.0.0 · 8 June 2026
The first production release of Saiku Cloud.
Agents & MCP
- One-click OAuth connector for Claude (web & Desktop) and Cursor — keyless. Point your chat client at your MCP URL, sign in, and approve read-only access; there’s no API key to copy or rotate. Requires a Team plan or above. (Static API keys remain available for clients that take a header.)
- The LLM Hookup page now leads with the OAuth connector, with the API-key setup kept as the alternative path.
Governance
- Lineage Explorer lets you trace any measure or level all the way back to the columns, table and database it comes from. Pick a field and follow the full chain — no more guessing where a number really lives.
- Collapsible lineage tree groups everything by hierarchy so large cubes stay readable: expand only the branches you care about.
- Colourblind-safe legend across the lineage view so the colour coding for measures, levels, columns and tables is legible for everyone.
Audit
- Richer audit log now records the actor, the event, and the target for each action — covering API keys, members and invites, schema changes, and sign-in activity.
- Filter and export your audit history by category and download it as CSV for your own records or compliance reviews.
Engine
- Updated analytics engine (Saiku 4.5.1) — client-side PDF/PNG export, plus a security and stability sweep (tighter error handling, cross-role cache isolation, and hardened CSV/JDBC handling). Includes the latest Mondrian (4.8.1.32) query and schema fixes for every workspace.
