+# Release Notes for Superset 1.5
+
+Superset 1.5 focuses on polishing the dashboard native filters experience, while
+improving performance and stability. Superset 1.5 is likely the last minor release of
+version 1 of Superset, and will be succeeded by Superset 2.0. The 1.5 branch
+introduces the notion of a Long Term Support (LTS) version of Superset, and will
+receive security and other critical fixes even after Superset 2.x is released.
+Therefore, users will have the choice of staying on the 1.5 branch or upgrading to 2.x
+when available.

+
+## User Facing Features
+
+- Complex dashboards with lots of native filters and charts will render considerably
+ faster. See the videos that shows the rendering time of a complex dashboard go from
+ 11 to 3 seconds: [#19064](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/19064). In
+ addition, applying filters and switching tabs is also much smoother.
+- The Native Filter Bar has been redesigned, along with moving the "Apply" and
+ "Clear all" buttons to the bottom:
+
+
+
+- Native filters can now be made dependent on multiple filters. This makes it possible
+ to restrict the available values in a filter based on the selection of other filters.
+
+
+
+- A new `SupersetMetastoreCache` has been added which makes it possible to cache data
+ in the Superset Metastore without the need for running a dedicated cache like Redis
+ or Memcached. The new cache will be used by default for required caches, but can also
+ be used for caching chart or other data. See the
+ [documentation](https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/cache#caching) for
+ details on using the new cache.
+- Previously it was possible for Dashboards with lots of filters to cause an error.
+ A similar issue existed on Explore. Now Superset stores Dashboard and Explore state
+ in the cache (as opposed to the URL), eliminating the infamous
+ [Long URL Problem](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/17086).
+- Previously permanent links to Dashboard and Explore pages were in fact shortened URLS
+ that relied on state being stored in the URL (see Long URL Problem above). In
+ addition, the links used numerical ids and didn't check user permissions making it
+ easy to iterate through links that were stored in the metastore. Now permanent links
+ state is stored as JSON objects in the metastore, making it possible to store
+ arbitrarily large Dashboard and Explore state in permalinks. In addition, the ids
+ are encoded using [`hashids`](https://hashids.org/) and check permissions, making
+ permalink state more secure.
+
+
+
+## Feature flags
+
+- A new feature flag `GENERIC_CHART_AXES` has been added that makes it possible to
+ use a non-temporal x-axis on the ECharts Timeseries chart
+ ([#17917](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/17917)). When enabled, a new
+ control "X Axis" is added to the control panel of ECharts line, area, bar, step and
+ scatter charts, which makes it possible to use categorical or numerical x-axes on
+ those charts.
+
+
+
+## Database Experience
+
+- DuckDB: Add support for database:
+ [#19317](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/19317)
+
+- Kusto: Add support for Azure Data Explorer (Kusto):
+ [#17898](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/17898)
+
+- Trino: Add server cert support and new auth methods:
+ [#17593](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/17593) and
+ [#16346](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/16346)
+
+- Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL): support using CTEs in virtual tables:
+ [#18567](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/18567)
+
+- Teradata and MSSQL: add support for TOP limit syntax:
+ [#18746](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/18746) and
+ [#18240](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/18240)
+
+- Apache Drill: User impersonation using `drill+sadrill`:
+ [#19252](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/19252)
+
+## Developer Experience
+
+- `superset-ui` has now been integrated into the Superset codebase as per
+ [SIP-58](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/13013) dubbed "Monorepo". This
+ makes development of plugins that ship with Superset considerably simpler. In
+ addition, it makes it possible to align `superset-ui` releases with official Superset
+ releases.
+
+## Breaking Changes and Full Changelog
+
+**Breaking Changes**
+
+- Bump `mysqlclient` from v1 to v2:
+ [#17556](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/17556)
+- Single and double quotes will no longer be removed from filter values:
+ [#17881](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/17881)
+- Previously `QUERY_COST_FORMATTERS_BY_ENGINE`, `SQL_VALIDATORS_BY_ENGINE` and
+ `SCHEDULED_QUERIES` were expected to be defined in the feature flag dictionary in
+ the `config.py` file. These should now be defined as a top-level config, with the
+ feature flag dictionary being reserved for boolean only values:
+ [#15254](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/15254)
+- all Superset CLI commands (init, load_examples and etc) require setting the
Review Comment:
Super nitpicky, "all" -> "All" just to be consistent from a capitalization standpoint!

Review Comment:
Optional: This image looks super big when rendered, probably because Github is filling horizontally to the image container. If you could quickly re-take this screenshot with a "wider aperture" / have it be more horizontal and include more of the Superset background UI in this screenshot, then that could be good!
