What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

##### What's Changed

###### New features

* [Optional authentication using getgrist.com accounts](https://support.getgrist.com/install/sign-in-with-grist/)
  * This provides an easy-to-use authentication option for self-hosted installations that don't want to run their own authentication servers or configure other external identity providers.
* [Import from Airtable](https://support.getgrist.com/imports/#import-from-airtable)
  * Airtable bases can be imported directly into new or existing Grist documents.
* [New environment variables](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/blob/v1.7.11/README.md#environment-variables) have been added to provide better control over which users are able to access your Grist instance. `GRIST_PERSONAL_ORGS` will disable personal organizations, while `GRIST_ORG_CREATION_ANYONE` will prevent any non-admins from creating new organizations.
* [Configurable email notifications for suggestions](https://support.getgrist.com/document-settings/#notifications)
