Hey everyone – ICYMI, we shipped some performance improvements to the `plotly` package that will help speed up Dash apps as well. If you are plotting large figures or `DataTables` (\>100k data points), you could see a 1-2 second speed up on every callback without making any changes to your code.

For more details, see [📣 Announcing Plotly.py 4.13: Magical Error Messages and Documentation, plus Speedups and Faceted Maps](https://community.plotly.com/t/announcing-plotly-py-4-13-magical-error-messages-and-documentation-plus-speedups-and-faceted-maps/47497).

You can upgrade with

```auto
pip install plotly --upgrade

```

And you can force an upgrade in your deployments by placing `plotly==4.13.0` in your `requirements.txt` file.

Enjoy!
