Looker 25.6 is launching this month! 

📆 Release dates: 

  • Expected Looker (original) deployment start: Monday, April 14, 2025

  • Expected Looker (original) final deployment and download available: Thursday, April 24, 2025

  • Expected Looker (Google Cloud core) deployment start: Monday, April 14, 2025

  • Expected Looker (Google Cloud core) final deployment: Monday, April 28, 2025

⚡️ Breaking changes: 

  • None!

⭐️ Notable features: 

  • In the Chart Config Editor, you can save a configuration as a template so that you can reuse it in other visualizations or share it as a starting point for other users.
  • The classification for the version, versions, and page_events API endpoints have been changed from "Admin" to "N/A" in System Activity queries. These endpoints no longer count toward Admin API endpoint quotas.
  • Several JDBC drivers have been updated.
  • A new Labs feature, Fast Dev Mode Transition, improves the performance of Development Mode on your instance by loading LookML projects in read-only mode until a developer clicks the Create Developer Copy button for the project.
  • The New Database Connection Setup feature is now out of Labs and generally available. This feature updates the Add/Edit Connection page with a modernized UI, enhanced validation, connection testing capabilities, and a comprehensive configuration summary. If you want to revert to the legacy connections workflow, you can enable the Use Legacy Connections Page legacy toggle.
  • The Content Validator scoping feature is now generally available for customer-hosted Looker deployments (the feature is already available for Looker-hosted deployments). This feature lets developers scope the validation to specific LookML projects and a specific content folder (including its subfolders, if any). This can improve the performance of the Content Validator.

Check the release notes for more details. Happy Lookering!

Hey Kunture, this update is for Looker, not for Looker Studio. If this is happening in Looker, please reach out to Support and they can help get you sorted!

When choosing a responsive appearance, I can not modify properties for the chart? Looker only shows page properties, not Chart properties?

Please fix this bug asap.

Thanks

Hey hien_ngyun, this update is for Looker, not for Looker Studio. Responsive reports are a Looker Studio feature, not Looker. Would you open a new topic for the responsive chart issue?
