• Fixed: after the 8 August change, pressing send in chat could appear to do nothing. A reply now has a time limit and says so when it runs out.

7 and 8 August

Semantic fluid

• sanda's learning dataset gives every workspace a sample business to explore: millions of rows of trading history with the tables, relationships and metrics already modelled. You can ask questions of it before you connect anything of your own.
• Ask the fluid builds a query from the semantic catalogue. Pick metrics, dimensions, filters and columns, and sanda runs the query on every pick, shows the SQL it composed, and returns rows as a table or a chart. It opens as a full card, with the catalogue on the left and results on the right. A filters card holds named filters.
• Scrolling over the map no longer zooms it. Use the zoom buttons or fit to content.

cherry

• Chat now works as a loop. Instead of being handed the whole semantic fluid and asked to write SQL, it searches the fluid, looks up table definitions and builds queries from your metrics and dimensions through the same planner as Ask the fluid. It writes custom SQL, with an explanation, only when it has to. It remembers the conversation, so a follow-up can refer to an earlier answer. Row limits and the read-only rule are unchanged.

6 August

Connections

• Choosing streams is now part of setup. The wizard gains a Streams step, and nothing syncs until you have chosen. A connection with credentials but no streams reads "Needs streams".
• The schedule picker offers Manual, Hourly, Daily and Weekly cadences with day buttons, a time and a timezone. It appears in the wizard and on a connection's Settings tab, so a schedule can be changed after the connection exists.
• A connection page refreshes on its own while a sync runs, so you no longer press Check status to see it finish.

Warehouse

• The Overview gains a Warehouse size panel that shows storage and compute against their limits. Warehouses are measured whenever you open a page that shows capacity.

Semantic fluid

• The semantic fluid becomes a map. Tables are cards you drag around a canvas. Datasets group tables in colour, and glue joins two datasets, written by hand or matched by sanda. A Map and List toggle keeps the list view for detailed edits.
• Add tables lists the tables in your warehouse and imports the ones you tick, grouped by the connector they came from. Each table is a fact or a dimension, so sanda does not sum a price list. The badge on a card switches it.
• A table enters the fluid as the columns you choose. Each column carries the words your team uses for it and the categories you group by. You draw a relationship by dragging one column name onto another.
• Sync bookkeeping columns stay out of the fluid. Removing a table retires it rather than deleting it, so its history is kept.
• Relationships show their cardinality, one to one or one to many. Suggestions open in a review queue you can drive from the keyboard: ↑ and ↓ to move, Enter to accept, Delete to reject.
• Metrics can be edited. Renaming a metric updates every metric that referred to it, and the form lists which ones before you save. Every card on the map has its own search.

Plans and billing

• Every AI call is recorded. What you ask counts against a daily allowance for the workspace, and the workspace picks which model answers.

Workspace and security

• Only owners and admins can add, change, delete or sync a connection. Members can still see them.
• The audit log can no longer be changed or deleted.
• Before sanda serves a workspace's data, it now checks that isolation between workspaces is in force, and it refuses to serve if it is not.
• Fixed: sign-in emails were not being sent.

5 August

Connections

• A new Connections page has a searchable list, a three-step wizard (define the source, connect, configure) and a full page for each connection with its status, timeline and settings. Each connector has a setup guide beside its form.
• You can upload a CSV straight into a warehouse. Drag in a file, name the table, and choose whether to append or replace. sanda detects the delimiter and infers each column's type from every row.
• You can choose which tables a connection syncs. For incremental streams you pick the cursor and the primary key. Changes reach the running connection at once.
• Setup forms for PostgreSQL and other connectors that offer several options no longer fail with a validation error. Forms open on the simplest option, check the fields of the option you have open, and fold SSL, update method and tunnel settings under Advanced. PostgreSQL goes from eleven questions to four.
• sanda checks a database host against public DNS before it tries to connect, and tells you when a host can never work from the internet, such as localhost or a private address.
• Connection errors say what to do. A hostname that cannot be resolved, a refused connection and a rejected password each get their own plain-language explanation.
• Deleting a connection now removes it from the sync engine too, so nothing keeps syncing or holding your credentials.
• Fixed: a connection created without choosing streams failed every sync. Fixed: syncing a source that already carries another loader's bookkeeping columns failed with a duplicate column error.

Warehouse

• A workspace can have more than one warehouse, up to the limit of its edition. Each connection lands in the warehouse you choose. You can delete a warehouse, and retry one whose provisioning failed.

Plans and billing

• Warehouse pricing is published on the site and in the console, built on storage and compute. Prices changed during the month, so read current prices on editions.

Site

• Sydney is the default region, and the only one available. The console moves to its own address, separate from the public site.

3 and 4 August

Site

• The sanda site opens with a homepage and free trial signup. The trial runs for 7 days.
• A sizing calculator on the site estimates what a warehouse costs for your data size and team.

Workspace and security

• You sign in with a one-time link sent to your email. A link works once and expires in 30 minutes.
• You can also set a password from Settings and sign in with it. Password sign-in is removed again on 2 September (see September 2026).
• Fixed: the sign-in link opened the homepage and never signed you in.
• Fixed: mail programs and link scanners that open a link before you do no longer use it up. Opening a link you have already used, while you are signed in, takes you to the console instead of an "expired" message.
• Console errors now say which request failed and with what status, in place of "Something went wrong."

Warehouse

• Provision warehouse in Data · Warehouse creates your own PostgreSQL database in Sydney, kept apart from every other workspace. See warehouse.

Semantic fluid

• The semantic fluid arrives: tables, dimensions, metrics and mappings that give your data the meaning your business uses. See semantic fluid.
• Learn from my data profiles your warehouse and proposes definitions for you to review. Nothing goes live until you accept it.

Connections

• The Connections page builds each connector's setup form from the connector catalogue, so any listed connector can be configured without a hand-built form.
