  • Console and web service now support an “env” query parameter. This is a url that points to an environment/shell file that YQL will load. Currently this enables multiple tables to be used at once.
  • “Use” table no longer requires the “as” clause. When “as” is absent it will default to the final path segment filename minus the extension. e.g. use 'http://somewhere/service.api.xml; select * from service.api;
  • Show tables now shows where the open data definition was defined
  • Desc table format tweaked
  • Open data table paging fixes, including better support for none paging but flexible result sized services and fixed page models. Moved “matrix” to the paging parent element.
