Release announcement: Mathesar 0.5.0 (Form builder!)
Zack Krida
Mathesar 0.5.0 is here! Our biggest new feature is the form builder, which allows you to design and share forms and collect data from anyone, directly into your Mathesar database. You can create forms that connect data across multiple tables, choose which fields to include, and control whether you want respondents to be able to create new records.
Other highlights in this release:
🪟 Record modals: You can now view and edit records in a modal without leaving the table page.
📝 Prominent column descriptions: Column descriptions are now accessible via table headers.
🔑 Automatic secret key generation: Installing Mathesar now involves one fewer step.
And of course, many other fixes and enhancements. Read our full release notes for more information.
🆘 Help us refine forms and files!
For our next release, we’re actively working on:
better support for working with files in Mathesar
the ability to create forms (like Google Forms).
