Hi Big Data Explorers,

The Hue Team is glad to thanks all the contributors and release Hue 4.3! 

The focus of this release was a big refresh to upgrade Django to 1.11, the latest Python 2.7 compatible version at the time.

It contains a log of improvements for the SQL Editor variables and catalog, as well as for the Dashboarding. It also prepares the ground for multi cluster support (HUE-8330) and building data apps more easily.

This release comes with 900 commits and 200+ bug fixes! Go grab the tarball and give it a spin!
