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'.

##### Interfaces
**Interfaces** let you build custom, easy-to-use apps on top of your base data. Instead of giving everyone access to the full base with all its tables, views, and configuration options, you design focused pages that surface exactly the data and actions each audience needs: a review queue for approvers, a dashboard for leadership, a form for field teams, or a full internal tool that combines all of them. Your base remains the single source of truth; what changes is how each group experiences it. Interfaces (**beta**) are available on **NocoDB Cloud** (Plus plan and above) and licensed self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above).

##### Improvements & Fixes
- **Dynamic conditions in Record-Level Security.** A policy can now reference whoever is viewing the data, such as the current user, their email, or their teams, so a single policy like "Assignee is the current user" covers the whole workspace. Policies can also filter on system fields such as Created by and Last modified by. Available on NocoDB Cloud (Scale plan and above) and self-hosted Scale and Enterprise plans.

- **New WEEKNUM formula function.** `WEEKNUM(date, [startDayOfWeek])` returns the week of the year a date falls in, matching how spreadsheets calculate it. Weeks start on Sunday by default, and an optional second argument picks a different first day of the week.

- **Select a range of rows with Shift+click.** Hold Shift while clicking a row's checkbox in the grid to select every row between it and the last row you clicked, the same way spreadsheets work.
- **v3 link updates stay scoped to the requested records.** Updating a link field through the v3 records API no longer removes those linked records from other rows.
- **Delete select options by title in API v3.** The field options delete endpoint now accepts option titles instead of ids and ignores titles that do not exist. Update existing v3 integrations accordingly.
- **Behaviour change in API v1: user updates no longer change workspace access.** `PATCH /api/v1/users/{userId}` no longer changes default workspace access. To grant access to a specific base, use `POST /api/v3/meta/bases/{baseId}/members` with `{ email, base_role }`. To allow base creation and workspace-wide access, use `POST /api/v3/meta/workspaces/{workspaceId}/members` with `{ email, workspace_role }`.
- **Grouped views stay put while editing.** Grids grouped by a link, user, JSON, or attachment field no longer blank out and reload on every cell edit.
- **No more duplicate rows while scrolling.** When a record dropped out of a filtered or sorted grid, an in-flight fetch could render it a second time further down the view.
- **Duplicating a record no longer moves linked records.** Copying every link verbatim could silently detach has-many and one-to-one linked records from the original. These links are now skipped on the copy, with a notice listing the fields that were not carried over.
- **Faster views with QR codes.** QR code cells no longer generate full-size codes for every row, which could freeze views with many records.
- **Snapshot reliability.** Snapshots now work on bases with restricted permissions and in workspaces that have reached their base limit.
- **Smart Text fixes.** A failed initial load no longer lets autosave clear the cell's content, Ba
