What is Cluvio?

Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.

Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.

What is RStudio?

RStudio opens the 2026.11 train with another NOTICE file update.

RStudio's tagged releases since June have been release-train mechanics: branch syncs, NOTICE-file updates, an internal multipart-parsing rewrite and a Windows 32-bit install fix. The 2026.10.1 patch carried only a branch merge, and the first 2026.11 'Montauk Daisy' tag on November 6 updates third-party notices and the tooling that generates them. The last user-facing changes were in May and June.

0.0

Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.

◆ Current state

Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.

◆ Where it's heading

The focus has moved toward shared and embedded dashboards: localization, sharing-link management, change history and embed reliability. That suits teams using Cluvio to serve dashboards to customers or many regions. The analyst side keeps getting careful refinements, such as pivot drill-down and snippets.

◆ Prediction

Expect more work on embeds and sharing links, such as finer locale or access controls. The entries don't show further Static Tables work since June.

ANALYTICS
5.0

RStudio opens the 2026.11 train with another NOTICE file update.

◆ Current state

RStudio's tagged releases since June have been release-train mechanics: branch syncs, NOTICE-file updates, an internal multipart-parsing rewrite and a Windows 32-bit install fix. The 2026.10.1 patch carried only a branch merge, and the first 2026.11 'Montauk Daisy' tag on November 6 updates third-party notices and the tooling that generates them. The last user-facing changes were in May and June.

◆ Where it's heading

The public tag stream shows a steady monthly cadence of named release trains with almost no feature content in the notes. Whatever product work is happening is not visible in these entries, so the feed reads as a maintenance log rather than a roadmap.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 2026.10.x patch or the next named train in November; the entries give no signal about which features, if any, it will carry.
