## New Overview section

The new Overview section provides at-a-glance view of what happened during a load test, including:

- Status of [`ensure` checks](https://www.artillery.io/docs/guides/guides/test-script-reference#ensure---slo-checks).
- A summary view of all errors raised during the test (if any), such as request timeouts, dropped TCP connections etc.
- A summary view of HTTP codes, HTTP request rate, and response time distribution (`min`, `max`, `p999`, `p99`, and `p95`).

## Charting improvements

* Color palette improvements to improve readability
* Fixed an issue with displaying charts for tests that generate a lot of data, such as 8-12 hour long soak tests
* Fixes to zooming and panning

And finally, if dark mode isn't your thing, the dashboard has a light mode now. Toggle it on via <kbd>Profile -> Light Mode</kbd>.



## Artillery CLI

### New HTML reports

 We have improved the layout and styling of reports generated with [`artillery report`](https://www.artillery.io/docs/guides/guides/command-line#report---create-an-html-report).

![Updated HTML Reports](/images/changelog/2022-07-01/updated-html-report.png)

### --dotenv flag

You can now load environment variables from a file with the `--dotenv` flag. Those env vars are available in Artillery scenarios through the [`$processEnvironment` variable](https://www.artillery.io/docs/guides/guides/test-script-reference#using-environment-varables).

## Dashboard

### Visual polish

- Improved homepage responsiveness
- Updated load test table with new context tags and new flexible tags
- Updated context menus
- Updated header styling in load test view.
- New and improved selected tags filter bar
- Show loading skeletons while data is being fetched

### CDK installer

We released an official [AWS CDK](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/)-based installer for Artillery dashboard.

https://github.com/artilleryio/installer-aws-cdk

### Flexible deployment modes

The dashboard can now be deployed in more than one way to fit the exact requirements of your organization:

- As an internal-facing, inside a VPC. This is the default deployment mode, and it will require an existing VPN setup to access the app. TLS is optional with this setup.
- As a publig public-facing, which requires TLS with a pre-provisioned ACM certificate.
- Custom domain may be configured on top of the provisioned ALB DNS name.

### GitHub Authentication

We added support for authentication through GitHub.


## Aurora Serverless v1 Support

An Aurora Serverless database cluster may now be used as the backing store for Artillery Pro.

This requires Data API to be enabled on the cluster. Only Aurora Serverless v1 is supported right now.

## Dashboard

### Fixes & Improvements

- Exclude raw histogram data from JSON reports to reduce file size
- Fix an issue which could prevent ensure checks from running
- Fix an issue where only one `--secret` flag would be taken into account
- Show auto-guessed subnet IDs when subnets aren't set explicitly with `--subnet-ids` in `run-test`


## Dashboard

A long requested feature of our dashboard has been the ability to login with GitHub. A layer of authentication removing the need for VPN's on your end.
