- New content endpoint: returns a list of all content accessible to a user, including Views, Reports, Dashboards, Stories, and more. It allows further ability to build custom content browsing solution in an embedded BI scenario.
- New dashboards, presentations, and themes endpoints: retrieves a list of items or detailed information for a specific content item.
- New health endpoint: returns the overall health of a Yellowfin deployment, including clustered deployments. There are two forms:
- Ping endpoint: returns limited information, and it does not require authentication.
- Full health endpoint: returns comprehensive information about the deployment.
- Enhanced users and import-export endpoints: updates the user profile information, such as timezone, language preference, and lists the dependencies of a Content Item from within an Import File.
- Cached filter refreshes: the REST endpoints trigger cached filter refreshes for Dashboards and Views.
- New integration API: allows external developers to get information about the user and organization in a user-friendly interface. This eliminates the need to reference internal Yellowfin methods to get the current user, role or client organization when developing custom headers, JSPs, and internal plugins like formatters and analytic functions.

Enhancements
Report Builder
The report builder allows you to:
- Re-order columns: columns can be re-ordered from the Column Formatting page by dragging and dropping the column to a new location. This is especially useful for Reports with a large number of columns.
- Calculated totals in charts: calculated totals are supported across most chart types. Calculated totals are an extremely useful feature when using Calculated Fields in a report. It provides the option to re-execute the calculation at the total or sub-total level for a report, rather than using traditional aggregation types such as Sum, Average, etc. This is useful when you use a calculation such as a ratio (e.g., return on equity).
- Chart customization: apply micro-configurations, such as changing the color of label lines.
