2025-11-11 (0.47.0)

New Features

  • Tables & Sorting

    • Artifact lists now include a Sort menu with sensible defaults and options derived from the schema.

  • Records & Sheets

    • A new “Create child” menu in the sidebar lets you create either a Sheet (with a required schema and feature preview) or a Record type (without a schema).

Changes

  • Error Handling & Resilience

    • A consistent in-app error boundary is used across artifact detail pages, feature lists, projects, references, run lists, custom tables, and launch forms to show clearer, friendlier error messages.

  • Tables & Query

    • Tables delay querying until default filters are initialized to avoid premature loads, ensuring the latest filter is applied before the first query.

  • Launch & Metadata

    • Run-metadata selection is more predictable: choosing an existing row is not overridden by inline edits, switching sheets resets inline metadata state, and saving updates clear the selection if the row no longer exists.

  • Navigation & UI

    • The sidebar’s “Create child” action uses a dropdown for Sheet vs. Type, keeps the trigger visible while open, and maintains highlight styling; registry and page descriptions were clarified for brevity.

  • Storage & Artifacts

    • Managed storage listing now requires an active session and loads from the instance API for more accurate results.

Bug fixes

  • Storage & Artifacts

    • Fixed storage path concatenation to prevent broken or redirected links when browsing buckets.

  • Sheets

    • Prevented intermittent errors when editing categorical cells without complete metadata.

  • Navigation & UI

    • The top-level “Registries” navigation entry is renamed to “Modules” for clearer terminology.

  • Access & Security

    • Debug and infrastructure checks require superadmin privileges with clear errors when access is denied.

  • Spaces & Storage

    • Attaching and detaching spaces to instances is more reliable, and default storage is created automatically during attach.

  • API & Errors

    • API errors show clearer messages and preserve upstream headers when appropriate for more actionable responses.

Bug fixes

  • Menus, popovers, dialogs, hovercards, and tooltips render above page content to avoid clipping.

2025-11-07 (0.45.0)

New Features

  • Storage & Artifacts

    • Upload files directly from the artifact picker in the bucket browser, with allowed file-type hints, the uploaded artifact auto-selected, and the picker closing on success.

Changes

  • Sheets

    • Markdown editing is disabled by default in embedded contexts and remains available in full-page edit mode, and the sheet editor dialog now scrolls for large content and includes accessibility improvements.

  • Search & Filters

    • Single-select fields use consistent free-text search instead of field-specific filtering for more predictable results.

  • Features & Navigation

    • Links generated from feature types route correctly to Features, ULabels, or namespaced registries and tolerate extra whitespace in type names.

  • Errors & Routing

    • Record detail pages return clearer 404 errors and preserve backend statuses, with specific messaging when short-name slugs do not resolve.

Bug fixes

    • The artifact picker now includes a filter sidebar to combine filters and narrow results more precisely.

  • Workflows & Launch

    • Parameters that expect a folder path are rendered with a folder selector in function launch forms.

Changes

  • Storage & Artifacts

    • In folder selection mode, the external storage browser shows files as disabled instead of hiding them to make folder contents clearer.

    • Object search in the external storage browser now matches folder names even when they end with a slash and continues to match labels or the last path segment.

2025-11-05 (0.43.0)

Changes

  • Tables & Filtering

    • Filter groups and icons in the sidebar are reordered and standardized (projects, schema, created by, labels, references).

  • Sheets

    • After saving a sheet, group-by views default to a stable summary (count by creator on the main branch) for consistent results.

  • Navigation & UI

    • Landing page cards were refreshed with clearer copy, new visuals, and a data lineage video for a more informative overview.

Bug fixes

  • Tables & Filtering

    • Advanced filtering no longer errors when filter groups are initially empty and reliably updates as you change operators and values.

    • Sidebar faceted filters render correctly even when some active groups lack a selected field, avoiding intermittent crashes.

    • “Show all” no longer gets written to the URL on initial load, and non-filter flags are preserved when filters sync in advanced mode.

2025-11-04 (0.41.0)

New Features

Changes

  • Access & Governance

    • You can’t detach a space from an instance while storages for that space still exist to prevent orphaned data.

  • Records & Links

    • Clicking a linked record opens its record page and type labels show the full hierarchy for clarity (for example, cat[Record[Parent[Child]]]).

    • Project and reference cells have a refreshed design for clearer information and easier navigation.

  • Filters & Facets

    • Faceted filters show intuitive icons and active counts, with primary filters inline and the rest organized into compact popovers.

  • Sheets & Editing

    • Editing controls now consistently respect edit permissions and CSV import handles numbers and blanks more robustly.

  • UI & Navigation

    • Hovering a label shows what created it, the header logo sizing is refined, and the bucket browser root is labeled “All” for a clearer overview.

  • Cloud Access

  • Features & Datasets

    • Composite feature sets can now expand inline to reveal all features without leaving the page.

Changes

  • Features & Datasets

    • Feature set links are derived more robustly from their type and safely fall back to the features index when unknown, and non‑string feature values are rendered clearly.

    • Related-label badges and filters use the correct display field from the feature type for accurate names and filtering.

  • Access Management

    • Adding spaces, instances, or teams uses a unified search picker that filters out invalid or duplicate entries and excludes the default team, with consistent name sorting across lists and tables.

    • Logging out now also ends the server session to avoid lingering authentication state.

  • Access & Security

    • Reading link tables enforces access based on the related records for more consistent, least‑privilege behavior.

Bug fixes

  • Features & Datasets

    • Prevent errors when rendering feature sets with invalid type strings by handling unsupported types gracefully and indicating them in the UI.

    • Search and selection menus no longer show entries with empty names, avoiding selection glitches.

2025-10-29 (0.39.0)

Changes

  • Database & Migrations

    • Database migrations are more robust by ensuring required admin permissions for constraint visibility and automatically cleaning up legacy tables that could otherwise interfere with installing security policies.

2025-10-29 (0.38.0)

Changes

  • Debug & Ops

    • A new debug endpoint is available to inspect the active database engine cache for troubleshooting.

Changes

  • Access & Error Handling

    • API errors are standardized with consistent HTTP status codes and clearer messages across resources, including 400 for invalid queries, 403 for permission denials, 404 for missing or inaccessible records, and 409 for uniqueness conflicts.

    • Unauthorized responses return a generic message in production while remaining descriptive in non-production to avoid leaking details.

  • Tables & UI

    • Artifact table feature chips use schema-defined display fields for linked registries, improving label text and link targets.

2025-09-29

New Features

  • Runs

    • Run list is now filterable by user: click a user in “Ran by” to apply a created_by.handle filter; a “Filtered by …” badge appears with a one‑click clear action. List and Grid views are available, with “Show all runs/Show less” controls and a hint for “newer runs available.” The table shows UID (copyable), Parameters, Status, Input/Output counts, Duration, and Started (time + user), and highlights the latest run.

  • Transforms

    • Added an inline type toggle above the run table to quickly scope to All, Notebooks, Pipelines, Functions, or Scripts. The selection syncs with filters and prevents conflicting multi‑selections.

  • Analytics & Group‑By

    • Dashboard group‑by gained time‑series binning (Day/Week/Month), a “Show values” toggle for labels on bars, better Y‑axis formatting (e.g., 1.2K), and automatic X‑axis label rotation/margins for long categories. Measure selection respects relations (e.g., counts through back‑relations) and keeps charts responsive as you change fields.

  • Identity & Access

    • New identity view exposes user email/handle and SSO domain mapping within your organization, scoped to org admins.

    • Access auditability: the system now records who grants access and who creates teams, and ensures users are admins of their own organization by default.

    • Organization members have read‑only access out of the box; managers and members see organization tabs by role.

  • Performance & Caching

    • Instance caching backed by Valkey/Redis speeds up instance lookups. Cache keys are per‑instance and expire automatically (default 1h). Admins can GET current cache content or DELETE to invalidate via /cache/instances/{instance_id}.

  • Storage

    • Adding an external S3 bucket now includes the API URL and supports temporary session tokens, improving success across different deployments.

Changes

  • Navigation & Layout

    • Unified top navigation with an overflow “More” menu; consistent layout across registries. The active main tab stays highlighted while you hover its submenu, and submenu hover behavior is smooth and predictable.

    • Lineage graph styling refined for clearer visuals.

    • Language selector on the landing page keeps a stable width.

    • Removed the in‑UI code link to Lamin docs from source view to reduce clutter.

  • Transform & Runs Browsing

    • Transform list gains first‑class filters (projects, ULabels, type, created_by) with a dedicated filter bar and 100‑row paging tuned for browsing.

  • API & Routing

    • Routes no longer require schema_id in instance endpoints; permissions were simplified behind the scenes with no change to user workflows.

    • DB server identifier updated to db_server_name (no action needed from users).

  • Ownership & Governance

    • An internal trigger keeps instance ownership and admin access in sync when ownership changes.

  • Platform

    • UI upgraded to Svelte 5, bringing snappier interactions and a more consistent component model.

Bug fixes

  • Lineage no longer shows artifacts as children under collections; parent/child runs render correctly around artifacts.

  • Transform detail loads reliably without getting stuck; “Transform → Pipelines” linkage opens the correct context.

  • Migrations/lineage graphs render without errors.

  • Main nav button remains active while its submenu is open; submenu no longer collapses when moving the pointer between a tab and its flyout.

  • Schema view scrolling works smoothly for long lists.

  • Advanced filtering no longer crashes when a search starts with a dot; default filters behave consistently.

  • Version parsing is robust to non‑decimal formats.

  • Queries disambiguate newly added created_by fields to avoid collisions.

  • Transfer‑ownership flow works end‑to‑end and reflects immediately in the UI.

  • On‑prem documentation links point to the correct destination.

  • Artifact detailed view correctly handles Record‑typed fields.

  • Stale data issues reduced in lists; views update more consistently.

  • Adding a new S3 bucket includes the API URL so bucket permissions apply correctly.
