coming[6.7.0]
Each release of {kib} brings new features and product improvements.
Here are the highlights of the feature and user experience changes in 6.7.0.
Refer to the <<release-notes-6.7.0, {kib} 6.7.0 Release Notes>> for a list of
bug fixes and other changes.
[float]
=== {kib} localization and support for Simplified Chinese
{kib} now supports Simplified Chinese, in addition to English. With 6.7,
{kib} introduces a new localization framework to support localized text.
If youd like to use {kib} with Simplified Chinese, set `i18n.locale` to
`zh-CN` in the `kibana.yml` file.

=== Maps for geospatial analysis (beta)
{kib} has a new application built for geospatial analysis: *Maps*. “Where” is
a critical question for most data points, and *Maps* enables you to ask
(and answer) meaningful questions for your location-based data. *Maps*
doubles down on geo and introduces all new features, such as support for
multiple layers and data sources, mapping individual geo points and shapes,
dynamic client-side styling, and global search for ad-hoc analysis.
To get started, check out this <<maps-getting-started, Maps tutorial>>.
[role="screenshot"]
image::images/highlights-6.7.0-maps.png[Kibana Maps user interface]
The *Maps* functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design
and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is
with no warranties. Please try this functionality in your test and development
environments and provide feedback in the
https://discuss.elastic.co/c/kibana[Elastic community forums].
[float]
=== Follower indices in Cross-Cluster Replication
{es} has the ability to follow an index in cross-cluster replication (CCR),
and {kib} supports this feature with *Add Follower Index*. With this new UI,
you can replicate data from existing indices, or set up local followers on
a case-by-case basis. CCR is a https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Platinum feature]
and is ready for production use in 6.7. CCR is available through a 30-day trial license,
which you can activate in {kib} *License Management*.

=== New actions in Index Lifecycle Management
{kib} has a number of improvements in *Index Lifecycle Management* (ILM). Building
on the support for {ref}/frozen-indices.html[frozen indices] in {es} 6.7, {kib}
adds the ability to freeze and
unfreeze indices in the cold phase. Freezing an index keeps it searchable for a longer
period and reduces the hardware requirements. {kib} also now allows you to
<<creating-index-lifecycle-policies, set a priority for recovering an index>>
after node restart.
In 6.7, ILM officially moves out of beta and into production use.
[role="screenshot"]

=== Frozen indices in Index Management
{kib} has several enhancements in *Index Management* related to frozen indices
You can now freeze and unfreeze indices from the *Manage* menu. {kib} also
marks frozen indices, follower indices, and rollup indices with badges,
so you can distinguish them at-a-glance.

=== Canvas is now GA
Many performance and stability improvements went into Canvas, which is production
ready for 6.7. To find out more about what's in Canvas and how to use it,
go to the <<canvas, Canvas documentation>>.
Starting in 6.7, you can upload images in bulk to your workpad. Simply click
*Manage assets* at the top of your workpad and select the file picker. You can
load your workpad with all of the images (SVGs, GIFs, etc.) you want and then
easily access them from the asset picker when you add image elements.
[role="screenshot"]

Also in 6.7, you can download the workpad directly from the *Edit* view.
Click the link in the workpad header to download a JSON file.
[float]
=== Infrastructure is now GA
The *Infrastructure* app is ready for production use in 6.7. This app
is a turnkey solution for monitoring infrastructure metrics using the Elastic Stack.
You can configure indices and fields associated with *Infrastructure*
via *Source Configuration*, specify a neutral color gradient, group the *Map*
view by any field, and switch to an alternative *Table* view. For more information
about this app, check out the <<xpack-infra, Infrastructure documentation>>.

[float]
=== Logs is now GA
The Kibana *Logs* app is GA in 6.7. This app is a console-like experience
for working with logs using the Elastic Stack. You can configure indices and
fields associated with *Logs* via *Source Configuration* and view
metadata and structured fields associated with each log line via the *Log* event
details. For more information about this app, see the
<<xpack-logs, Logs documentation.>>
[role="screenshot"]

[float]
=== Introducing Uptime
This release introduces *Uptime*, which enables you to easily navigate the
status of your active application checks powered by
https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/heartbeat[Heartbeat]. See the
Uptime documentation for details.
[role="screenshot"]

[float]
=== Reindex tool reintroduced
The reindex tool available in {kib} 5.6 has been reintroduced in 6.7 to assist
with your upgrade to {es} 7.0. The reindex feature is enhanced in several important ways.
When you initiate a reindex through the Upgrade Assistant, the process is now
managed in the background. You can navigate away from the page and get an
updated status for the reindex when you return. When reindexing, {kib} also now
fixes commonly used settings that were removed in 7.0. Finally, if
reindexing fails, the tool reverts any changes back to the initial state.
