Welcome to MINEO 2024.12! This release brings significant backend optimizations, new features for responsive Data Apps, advanced Python editor functionalities, and improved PDF export capabilities.

Let’s explore the highlights:

‍

🚀 Backend Optimizations

We’ve implemented extensive optimizations to the backend infrastructure, focusing on the handling of frequent and resource-intensive requests. By refining database queries, reducing processing overhead, and improving system resource allocation, MINEO now operates with significantly reduced latency and improved throughput.

Average query times have been reduced by 40%, and some operations, like folder deletion, are now up to 30x faster.

‍

‍📱 Responsive Mode for Data Apps

Blocks can now be centered dynamically, thanks to a new responsive mode, improving the visualization and adaptability of Data Apps across different mobile devices. This ensures a cleaner layout and better user experience when viewing apps on smaller screens. To access this new mode, navigate to Notebook Properties → Grid Options and enable the responsive centering feature.

‍

In the next release, this mode will become the default setting for all new notebooks.

‍

🐍 Enhanced Python Editor

‍Quick Assistant and integrated code formatting are now supported in the file editor, making coding smoother, more efficient, and significantly reducing the time spent on manual adjustments. With these additions, users can quickly access relevant suggestions and ensure clean, well-structured code seamlessly.

‍

This feature expands the new possibilities opened by autoreload support of .py files introduced in the previous release.

‍PDF printing now respects browser configurations, giving users the flexibility to customize page size, adjust margins, and include background colors.

This enhancement ensures greater control over document formatting and presentation for professional and polished exports.
