Rich Filter Pie Chart Gadget Layouts

The Rich Filter Pie Chart Gadget now offers two more display layout options in addition to the classic JIRA pie chart layout: the Pie Chart compact and the Sliced Bar Chart layouts. Both are useful for data-dense dashboards as they take significantly less space than the classic pie chart layout.

New layout setting for Smart Columns display: Equal label sizes 

When adding smart columns to the rich filter's views, you can now use the Equal label sizes checkbox, which forces all tags to have the same width when displayed in Rich Filter Results gadgets. Depending on your smart filter, this can make a smart column look nicer.
