Hi Big Data Explorers,
The Hue Team is glad to thanks all the contributors and release Hue 4.1! 
The focus of this release was to keep making progress on the modernization and simplification of the Hue 4 UI without introducing any major feature. The SQL editor is smarter and the ground for better speed and visualizations was prepared (coming in the next release). This release is more of a “quality/transition” with 900 commits and 250+ 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.

Hi,
the tarball download link seems to be exactly the same as for version 4.0. 1. Is this the right link/file?

Is it possible to run both Hue 4.1 along with Cloudera Hue with CDH 5.8 or earlier version..?
-
APIs with Hadoop services should be pretty compatible since 5.4, but this is not really tested.

Impressive enhancements, thanks! Can a HUE 4.1 be pointed to an existing HUE3 database (a copy of) or a migration is needed?
-
Some DB migrations might be needed, depending on how old is your Hue 3 even if none were added recently:
./build/env/bin/hue migrate

Hi,
In the download file is no setup.exe? -> How to install -> Do you have an installation Guide for Win10?

Unfortunately Windows is not a supported platform, but you can install it on a Virtual Machine running Linux for instance

Has anyone tried installing on a Raspberry pi 3 ? I’ve been trying but no luck so far.
