Hi Big Data Explorers,
The Hue Team is glad to thanks all the contributors and release Hue 4.3! 
The focus of this release was a big refresh to upgrade Django to 1.11, the latest Python 2.7 compatible version at the time.
It contains a log of improvements for the SQL Editor variables and catalog, as well as for the Dashboarding. It also prepares the ground for multi cluster support (HUE-8330) and building data apps more easily.
This release comes with 900 commits and 200+ bug fixes! Go grab the tarball and give it a spin!
Here is a list of the main improvements. For all the changes, check out the release notes and for a quick try open-up demo.gethue.com.
