What's New

Newer release focuses on Grist performance and UI changes, contrasting with the OSINT-focused older release.

Breaking Changes

  • The `mapColumnNames()` function now returns records without unmapped fields instead of `null`.
  • The `columns` option has been removed from `mapColumnNames()` and `mapColumnNamesBack()`.
  • OIDC/SAML support is now restricted to the Full Grist edition.

New Features

  • 30% memory reduction for lookups and summary tables.
  • New Admin Panel card layout with recommendations.
  • Active document timeout setting (GRIST_ACTIVEDOC_TIMEOUT_SECONDS).

Improvements

  • Access rule memos now show only when relevant to the current block.
  • Markdown cells with max row height now display an ellipsis.
  • Custom widgets can declare required columns in their manifest.

Bug Fixes

  • Markdown cell cut off by max row height now shows an ellipsis.
  • Access rule memos now display correctly based on block context.

Upgrade Notes

Update code using `mapColumnNames()` to handle the new return value and remove the `columns` option. Ensure you are on the Full Grist edition if using OIDC/SAML support.
