Announcing our initial beta release, Mathesar 0.2.0
Kriti Godey
Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce the release of Mathesar 0.2.0. This marks our transition from alpha to beta, which means the project is now more stable, thoroughly tested, and ready to work with production PostgreSQL databases.
We’ve been working hard to incorporate user feedback, improving Mathesar’s performance, security, and usability to better support your data workflows. The interface is now exponentially faster, ensuring a smoother and more responsive experience for everyday use. We’ve also transitioned our access control system to PostgreSQL roles to enhance security and reduce deployment risks. There are also many quality-of-life improvements, including support for exporting tables and improved documentation.

We’ve also launched a new version of our website: mathesar.org.

What’s next for Mathesar?
Here are some of the features we’re considering building next,
Better tools for administrators, including SSO, a UI for PostgreSQL row level security, and support for non-Postgres databases through foreign data wrappers.
More ways to edit and query data, such as a unified interface for query building and editing, custom input forms, and a built-in SQL editor.
Expanded support for data types, including location data (via PostGIS), long-form/formatted text (e.g., Markdown), and various file and image types.
Our roadmap will ultimately be shaped by feedback from our beta users. If there’s something you’d like to see in Mathesar, let us know!
