Release announcement: Mathesar 0.4.0 (SSO support!)

[Kriti Godey]

🚀 Mathesar 0.4.0 Release

Mathesar 0.4.0 is here! Our big new feature is initial support for 🔒 single sign on (SSO) using OIDC, which has been requested by many users. OIDC is supported by most identity providers, including Keycloak, Okta, Google Workspace, etc. See our SSO docs for more.

Other changes in this release:

• 📦 Bulk creation of records via pasting: Pasting multiple rows of data into the placeholder row of a table creates as many records as needed. You can use this to import data into existing tables.

• 🌊 DigitalOcean and 🚂 Railway deployments: We now officially support one-click deployments using DigitalOcean and Railway, for users who do not want to worry about the details of managing servers.

Plus many other fixes and improvements, including UI support for viewing and editing JSON data, and the single record page showing fields in the column display order of its parent table. 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).

If you’re interested in either, we’d love your input! We want to make sure we’re prioritizing the right problems to solve. Talk to us for 20 min, we’ll give you a $25 gift card as a thank you.
