In February 2019, significant developments were underway for Kibana, focusing on platform enhancements, security updates, and new features across various teams. The new platform team had its official kick-off, concentrating on modifying existing platform components and planning plugin migrations. Security efforts were directed toward integrating feature controls and small changes to the Content Security Policy for compatibility with Kibana 6.7. Concurrently, the Middleware team worked on the Secret Service, actions service design, and created an RFC proposal for review. The Geo Maps team made strides towards making maps embeddable in dashboards and started localization efforts, while the Elastic Maps Service began data production of tile-data. The Canvas team tackled performance issues by optimizing React rendering and began simplifying state management, aiming for improved user interactions and performance. The design team focused on dark mode refinements and component updates, while operations prioritized resolving upgrade process blockers. The KibanaApp team dedicated efforts to stabilizing the 7.0 release by addressing bugs and enhancing user interface elements, with notable improvements in visualization metadata support and query handling, alongside ongoing TypeScript conversion.
