Released 28th October 2016

New Features

• Painless prototyping: it's now possible to reset the search index, facets and dashboards using the API - great for when a new project is evolving.
• Pinpoint problems fast: the topic API log file now contains a new type of log message showing user requests and how long they took. Great for debugging slow response times
• Flexible Facet Tables: the Facet Table widget gains an optional "detail view", offering new ways to present results to users. What's more, using the custom widget API, it's possible customise the look and feel to your requirements.
