@AlexPowers do you happen to also have this for past features with their preview / GA / deprecation dates?

The latest endpoint only covers the past three waves and with the deprecation of the previous RSS feed it's a bit of a cost vs. benefit currently. In this updated model, I do have a table which now has the latest change histories - for anyone that does want to incorporate that into their own customized report from the template app that should be a great option in future iterations of this report.

This looks like it might be broken as of 22/02/2023.
The pbix behind my app installation throws an error about not being able to retrieve the xml from the microsoft documentation api (BAD query). Maybe something in the API has changed?

• @AlexPowers knowing you have THE trackrecord of replying fast in e.g. Guy in a cube. 1 idea worth to discuss in the group. I typically look once in a while at the release wave plans online. What would really be great is to be able to reply as users on each of these wave items. With it the MS team working it already get additional feedback while working it and likely become more effective. Most of us do not that often look at the blog ideas most voted items while we do look at the wave items. Quick win?

@AlexPowers  Hello Alex,  It seems that this report is no longer being updated, is that correct?

Same here I can't get the report to refresh, is this something everyone is experiencing? Thanks @AlexPowers 

[AlexPowers]

Pushing out an app update now, you should see a banner within your workspace to upgrade. The original RSS feed appears to have been deprecated so I've switched over to a latest version that will be more stable overall. Apologize for the inconvenience.

I was wondering the same thing. There were features announed at a keynote a few weeks ago (measure filters, for example) that I don't see here or anywhere else for that matter.

This is great stuff. Thank you for putting it up.

Hi Alex,

I am getting "This content isn't available." as a message. Are you still updating/maintaining this report? It's been helpful for me.

Thank you,

Alan

[BobPBIBuilder]

This is great, thanks for all the hard work! 

[luandrad]

Great post @AlexPowers !

Regarding Power BI Report Server (PBI-Desktop RS / PBI RS), is there something similar to follow-up the next releases in the environment?

For example, the next release planned for September/2020, delayed to October, what are the features that will be released and the nexts ones for 2021.

BR.

Great, Awesome Report @AlexPowers . It would be great to have description or URL link on the topic as well so that we understand what these release means to us.

Regards

[AlexPowers]

Hey @Anonymous glad to hear that you're enjoying the report! Descriptions would be great, but I wanted to avoid this being a cluttered report (the catalyst on why I took the current notes and made them in this easier to follow format). In terms of the URL links are those not working for you? If you click on any of the icons in the corresponding columns, they should take you to the official Microsoft Docs.

My bad @AlexPowers . Just noticed the link. It is double awesome.

thanks

[jsaradhi]

this is great but i noticed that there are features that are missing. for example, smart narratives in September 2020. or is it me who is missing something?

[AlexPowers]

@jsaradhi what I often find is there are certain targeted items that they discuss and others that are released as new/cool ideas are discovered that they may have not had on their roadmap initially. I would consider using this report as "guidance" but not as the truth for the hundreds and hundreds of things they continue to deliver. That's how I've approached it at least 🙂

[jsaradhi]

thanks for that clarification Alex. very helpful.

however, i think there is a lot of value (as you realized as well :)) in a report with all of the content in one place. i can tell you that it will be very helpful to my team as we manage the platform for a decent sized company.
