+# Release Notes for Superset 1.3
+
+Superset 1.3 focuses on hardening and polishing the superset user experience, with tons of UX improvements and bug fixes focused on charts, dashboards, and the new dashboard-native filters.

+
+# User Experience
+One major goal of this release is to improve and harden dashboard-native filters. These filters live at the dashboard level instead of within a chart and affect all charts under their scope within a dashboard. Improvements in this release include clearer visual indicators of what charts are within the scope of a selected filter.

+
+Native-filters can also be set to load collapsed, which also improves connected thumbnail and alerts/reports functionality.

+
+For charts, we've added a new funnel chart.

+
+Users can also now use Jinja templating in calculated columns and SQL metrics.

+
+At the dashboard level, work has been focused on improving available information and UX ergonomics. Users can now download a full .csv of the full dataset behind a table chart from the dashboard.
+
+![export full csv](media/export_full_csv.png)
+
+Continuing on the theme of making more things accessible directly from the dashboard, users can now view the SQL Query behind any chart directly from the dashboard as well.

+
+# Developer Experience
+The API has received a new endpoint to allow the developer to pass DB-specific parameters instead of the full SQLAlchemy URI.
+
+# Database Connectivity
+We have improved support for Ascend.io's engine spec and fixed a long list of bugs.
+
+Also in the works is a new database connection UI, which should make connecting to a database easier without having to put together a SQLAlchemy URI. It's behind a feature flag for now, but it can be turned on in config.py with `FORCE_DATABASE_CONNECTIONS_SSL = True`.
