# August 2025

This article highlights the development work released to production throughout August 2025, including new features and enhancements, and bug fixes, made available to all users.

## No Manual Upgrades Required

All updates to the Board Foresight application are version-controlled and automatically deployed, so customers always have access to the latest version without needing to manually upgrade.

## Feature Releases and Enhancements

### Transformations

- **Public API Updates**: The Public API has been expanded to include series transformations as supported entries, allowing greater flexibility when programmatically accessing and manipulating data.

### Data and Discover Improvements

- **New OECD Data**: Additional OECD indicators have been added to the Global Intelligence Cloud, including EA 17 harmonised core inflation and headline inflation growth rates, expanding coverage for macroeconomic analysis.
- **New CFTC data**: New Commodity Futures Trading Commission indicators are now available in the Global Intelligence Cloud, further extending futures and positioning data coverage.

## Bug Fixes

This update includes bug fixes related to:

- **Search and Discover**
  - Fixed an issue where selecting National geography in a Discover run returned non-national indicators in the Automatic Workbench. The results now correctly include only National indicators.
- **Data Handling and Aggregation**
  - Resolved an issue where metadata updates on the Indicator page were not functioning correctly for non-system Administrator users.
  - Updated OECD indicator seasonality metadata so that indicators marked as Normalized now correctly display as Seasonally Adjusted at the Source.
  - Corrected the data loaded for the US Board Crossings Truck Containers indicator to ensure accuracy.
- **Workbench and Model Experience**
  - Resolved an issue where applying transformations to a secondary indicator and logging the series caused failures. Logging is now always applied as the final transformation to prevent errors.

An Administrator is a licensed user profile with permissions to the System Administration area of a Platform, used to manage Users, Roles and Application Profiles, Licenses, Folder security, and other governance features (monitoring, ALM, theming). In Board Cloud platforms, the Subscription Hub administrators handle environment-level tasks such as user provisioning and license assignment exposed via the administration tiles. Compared to a Developer (Design Mode) and a Planner (Play Mode), the Administrators configure platform-level access and controls rather than application content, although they are authorized to perform all of the functions that are permitted to either Planners or Developers.
