Summary

Keeping up with Kibana highlights the ongoing developments and updates within the Kibana project, focusing on areas such as security enhancements, Canvas integration, rollup support, and design improvements. The team is actively working on refining Saved Object Namespaces and implementing granular application privileges for enhanced security. Canvas integration efforts include new features like dynamic progress elements and the push to move the Canvas interpreter into the core of Kibana for more robust visualization capabilities. The rollup support phase is transitioning from core development to polishing and bug-fixing, with improvements like a user-friendly cron editor for the Rollup Job Wizard. Design updates include the conversion from Less to Sass for stylesheets, particularly in Machine Learning, and the introduction of a new palette service. The Kibana team is also managing operations such as the Saved Object Migrations review and K7 header work for version 6.5, while platform efforts focus on unblocking K7 and starting the Alerting project. Additional tasks involve addressing flaky tests, enhancing cross-browser testing capabilities, and progressing on KQL telemetry and visualization developments.
