I have tested it - seems as functional as the old 19006 interface - I
ran through my usual starting paces (based on the Don Chamberlin data
that we use for things, including tabular views) and it worked fine!
Now we need an extension for multi-statement results...! :-) (Which
this version of the interface never had, results-handling-wise.)
More generally we should find a way to enhance this interface with the
things (like the above) that we like better in the old 19001 interface
and then deprecate that one, perhaps?
Cheers,
Mike
PS - And we need the upcoming NL2SQL++ assistant on the side... :-)

Hello fellow devs,
As some of you might already know, I've been trying to update the
dependencies and build for the UI (also called the dashboard) for a
while now off and on. The reason for this is it would be really nice
to have for the next release. Shipping a 6+ year old version of
Angular doesn't feel like a good idea.
I have a patch now that migrates it to Angular 21 and switches the
build to use bun instead of npm. I think I've gotten it to a point
where it's fairly functional.
Given that, I would appreciate it if some folks would try it out and
look for bugs I didn't see or that don't happen for me. The main quirk
I have noticed is in the plan viewer, if you switch to detailed view,
the plan will look messed up until you zoom to fit. I fixed most of
the other things I noticed.
The patch is here:https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/c/asterixdb/+/21081
And I made a binary folks can use to try it here:

Thanks!
