# NetBox v3.5

## v3.5.0 (FUTURE)

### New Features

#### Customizable Dashboard ([#9416](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/9416))

The static home view has been replaced with a fully customizable dashboard. Users can construct and rearrange their own personal dashboard to convey the information most pertinent to them. Supported widgets include object statistics, change log records, notes, and more, and we expect to continue adding new widgets over time. Plugins can also register their own custom widgets.

#### Remote Data Sources ([#11558](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/11558))

NetBox now has the ability to synchronize arbitrary data from external sources through the new [DataSource](../models/core/datasource.md) and [DataFile](../models/core/datafile.md) models. Synchronized files are stored in the PostgreSQL database, and may be referenced and consumed by other NetBox models, such as export templates and config contexts. Currently, replication from local filesystem paths and from git repositories is supported, and we expect to add support for additional backends in the near future.

#### Configuration Template Rendering ([#11559](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/11559))

This release introduces the ability to render device configurations from Jinja2 templates natively within NetBox, via both the UI and REST API. The new [ConfigTemplate](../models/extras/configtemplate.md) model stores template code (which may be defined locally or sourced from remote data files). The rendering engine passes data gleaned from both config contexts and request parameters to generate complete configurations suitable for direct application to network devices.

#### NAPALM Plugin ([#10520](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/10520))

The NAPALM integration feature found in previous NetBox releases has been moved from the core application to a dedicated plugin. This allows greater control over the feature's configuration and will unlock additional potential as a separate project.

#### ASN Ranges ([#8550](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8550))

A new ASN range model has been introduced to facilitate the provisioning of new autonomous system numbers from within a prescribed range. For example, an administrator might define an ASN range of 65000-65099 to be used for internal site identification. This includes a REST API endpoint suitable for automatic provisioning, very similar to the allocation of available prefixes and IP addresses.
