| Any database import bridges: improved the import of large models when a bridge has less than 4GB of memory | The process for data type creation has been improved when a bridge is
dealing with a very large model and has very limited memory. This
improvement has been implemented for all database import bridges. A new custom factorization logic of data type is used to create only unique data types and reuse them as much as possible. It improves the speed of data type creation and limits the memory usage. For example, you can now create 2M features with their data types in three minutes instead of two hours. |
All Talend Data Catalog licenses |
| Tableau Server: authentication with personal access token | You can now authenticate with a personal access token when the
username/password authentication method returns HTTP 401 (Unauthorized)
response. When authenticating with a personal access token, you cannot open the report in Tableau directly from Talend Data Catalog as the workbook name cannot be captured. |

| Apache Spark (with Python) / Databricks PySpark: miscellaneous parameter -environment.variable unsupported | The input parameters expressed via dbutils.widgets have been improved. |
