Deneb 2.0 has passed AppSource certification checks and is pending deployment to your reports

HTML Content 2.0 is the biggest update to the visual so far - new layout tooling, debugging support, and theme integration, all focused on giving authors more control over their work. Before we submit to AppSource, we need your help to validate this release with real-world reports and make sure it holds up to how you actually use it.

Deneb 2.0 brings a lot of long-awaited features and new enhancements, but we need your help to ensure this release is solid before submission to AppSource.

Power BI's new sentence templates for tooltips work with Deneb, provided your fields are part of the tooltip datum. Here's how to set them up, plus how to surface calculated fields from your specification into them.

Deneb 1.7 is a significant update, and we're excited to submit it to AppSource very soon! Before we do that, we're opening beta testing for the community so that we can ensure that the quality of the submitted version is as good as possible for all users.

Minor updates to both the standard and certified editions of the Power BI custom visual.

Deneb 1.6 alpha testing has finished and we're ready to move things forward.

Certification has passed and this update is on its way to your reports shortly.

We're not quite live yet, but 1.4 represents the biggest update in quite some time, and hopefully there's fun to be had.

Presenting: a less permissive version of HTML Content... but with certification privileges.

As Deneb has been GA in AppSource for a year, I thought it'd be a good time to catch-up!

Deneb 1.3 is now generally available in AppSource. Here's a rundown on what's new, and what's happening next.

When Personalize Visuals is too personalized: an experiment in switching displayed charts using a dimension attribute.

An update to the initial 1.3 beta has been issued following testing feedback from users.
The 1.3. beta is available for download for validation and feedback prior to AppSource submission.
The 1.1. beta is available for download for validation and feedback prior to AppSource submission.
The Alpha Channel Build is a means of being able to test and feed back on changes as soon as they are made rather than waiting for AppSource releases.
It's been a while since we've had an update, so... here's an update.

Here goes...
