2. Spreadsheet Component
A component which is capable of planning with copy and paste support. Looks like an excel grid for data entry.
3. Offline Data (CSV files)
Small, but practical feature for offline demonstrations (works only in local mode). You can export any data source to CSV version using the "Initial View Editor" and then use the CSV later for data access. The value is - also filter components are supporting this data source.
4. Global Filters in Online Composition Dashboards
With small scripting you can achieve a global filter function. Somply look for scripts on Slit Cell Cell Container - getDataSources(). With this, you can get a list of data sources in the container and distribute the filters on it.

In Context Menu you will find some options for local calculations and top N function which helps you data analysis.
6. Drag and Drop capability for Crosstab
Crosstab is now also supporting the drag & drop.
