Meltano

---

Fixes

- Patch technicality due to PyPI limitation (v1 already existed from a publish mistake seven+ months ago) with needed changelog New/Changes/Fixes section headers

---

New

- [1020](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1020) Update Command Line Tools documentation to reflect a standard format with opportunities for improvement in the future
- [524](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/524) There is a new Plugins section on the site to contain all ecosystem related libraries (i.e., extractors, loaders, etc.)

Changes

- [1087](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1087) Fix `meltano select` not seeding the database when run as the first command.
- [1090](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1090) Update the namespace for all plugins. Also the default schema used will go back to including the `tap_` prefix to avoid conflicts with existing schemas (e.g. a local `gitlab` or `salesforce` schema). This also fixes `tap-csv` and `tap-google-analytics` not properly working after the latest Meltano release.
- [1047](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano-marketing/issues/1047) Fix a bug where some configuration values were not redacted

Fixes

Breaks

- [1085](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1085) Fix Analyze model dropdown to properly reflect installed `models`
- [1089](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1089) Properly re-initialize the Analyze page after a new analysis is selected during an existing analysis (this issue surfaced due to the recent Analyze dropdown CTAs addition which enables an analysis change during an existing one)
- [1092](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1092) Fix async condition so the design store's `defaultState` is properly applied before loading a new design via `initializeDesign`

- [1076](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1076) Enable Log button in pipelines UI after route change or hard refresh if a matching log exists
- [1067](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1067) Add Model landing page and update Analyze main navigation to a dropdown displaying the various analysis CTAs associated with each model

Fixes

- [1071](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1071) Fix `rehydratePollers` so the UI reflects running jobs after a hard refresh or route change (this surfaced from the recent [!963](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/merge_requests/963) change)
- [1075](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1075) Fix an issue where `meltano elt` would fail when a previous job was found

---

New

- [950](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/950) Removed the Analyze connection configuration: Meltano will now infer connections out of each loader configuration.
- [1002](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1002) Analyze UI now displays the Topic's (analysis model's) description text if applicable

- [932](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/932) Meltano can now be upgraded from the UI directly.

Changes

- [1045](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1045) Make it clear that 'meltano add' is not hanging while installing plugins
- [1000](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1000) Update Getting Started guide with updated screenshots and content
- [854](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/854) Charts now use pretty labels rather than the ID
- [1011](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1011) Removed "Catch-up Date" in favor of default "Start Date" of extractor
- [578](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/578) Remove support for `tap-zuora`.
- [1002](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1002) Update `discovery.yml` with explicit `kind: password` metadata (we infer and set input types of `password` as a safeguard, but the explicit setting is preferred)
- [1049](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1049) Change default `target-sqlite` database name to `warehouse` to not conflict with system database
- [949](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/949) Update the way Meltano handles logs for ELT runs: Every elt run is logged in `.meltano/run/logs/{job_id}/elt_{timestamp}.log`. That allows Meltano to keep logs for multiple, or even concurrent, elt runs with the same `job_id`.
- [949](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/949) Update "Create Pipeline" redirect logic based on the previous route being 'transforms' (this is a UX win setting up the user with the sub-UI for the next logical step vs. requiring a manual "Create" click)
- [1051](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1051) Automatically set SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI config to system database URI

Fixes

- [1004](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1004) Fix error when deselecting last attribute in Analyze
- [1048](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1048) Fix various actions that should have been mutations and did minor code convention cleanup
- [1063](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1063) Fix the "Explore" button link in Dashboards to properly account for the `namespace`

Breaks

- [1051](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1051) Remove MELTANO_BACKEND e.a. in favor of --uri CLI option and MELTANO_DATABASE_URI env var
- [1052](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1052) Move system database into `.meltano` directory to indicate it is owned by the app and not supposed to be messed with directly by users

---

New

- [1014](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1014) Meltano now logs all output from each `meltano elt` run in a log file that uses the unique job*id of the run. It can be found in `.meltano/run/logs/elt*{job_id}.log`.
- [1014](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1014) Meltano now logs all output from each `meltano elt` run in a log file that uses the unique job*id of the run. It can be found in `.meltano/run/logs/elt*{job_id}.log`.

Fixes

- [1005](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1005) Fix installed plugins endpoints listing identically named plugins of different types under wrong type

---

Changes

- [987](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/987) Update routing to match labels (verbs vs. nouns) in effort to subtly reinforce action taking vs. solely "thing" management
- [960](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/960) Improve UX by instantly displaying extractor and loader configuration UIs based on "Install" or "Configure" interaction as opposed to the prior delay (side effect of async `addPlugin`)
- [996](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/996) Update conditional UI analytics stats tracking at runtime vs. build-time by sourcing state from the same backend `send_anonymous_usage_stats` flag

Fixes

- [992](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/992) Fix missing GA scripts
- [989](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/989) Fix UI/UX documentation regarding recent removal of `view-header`
- [994](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/994) Fix stale Pipelines Count in main navigation Pipeline badge
- [999](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/999) Update yarn dependencies to resolve peer dependency warning
- [1008](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1008) Fix error on "Create Pipeline Schedule" modal when no plugins have been installed

- [998](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/998) Update Analyze UI with conditional loading indicator to prevent query generation prior to connection dialects being loaded (this solution is still useful for when inference supercedes our current manual dialect selection solution)
- [1009](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/1009) Fix default ConnectorSettings validation to account for `false` (unchecked) checkbox values
