2022-4-11
New Features:
Code optimization for Mito Pro users. Common scripts now will be 1/3 the size of previous scripts, as Mito automatically generates optimized code as you edit.
Filter and concatenate operations now display text telling you the result of the operation - how many rows were removed and how many columns were included respectively - making it easier to figure out the effect of these operations.
Bug Fixes:
Drop duplicates now opens with no column selected, to allow users to opt into changing the data if they are just exploring.
2022-4-5
Bug Fixes:
Make sheets with massive numbers of columns work with Mito better, by only displaying the first 1500 columns.
Add a warning to pivot tables letting users know that adding a column key with a large number of unique values will cause performance problems.

2022-3-29
New Features:
Add concatenate, allowing users to append dataframes vertically. This is our most requested feature!
Add basic graph styling, allowing users to set graph titles and toggle axes. Mito Pro users can additionally style graph colors.
Dramatically speed up all Mito operations when the user has multiple large dataframes by copying less data.
Shrunk the size of the toolbar buttons, to let us give users all the actions they want at their fingertips :-)

Fix a variety of sheet crashing bugs in the graphing taskpane.
Cleanup and modernize the merge and pivot taskpanes, for ease of development.

Format data in the Unique Values and Summary Statistics tab of the column control panel with whatever formatting is applied to the column.
Bug fixes:
Both undo and redo work with pivot and graphing. No longer will redoing edits lead to parameters getting out of date with the sheet.
