v1.1.0

This release is mostly polishing and refinements, no big user-facing feature to highlight this month.

v1.0.9

Highlights:

• Minimizing widgets - if you need more room on a dashboard, you can minimize sections into a kind of button bar. Dynamic linking continues to work, regardless of whether a widget is minimized or expanded.
• Column descriptions - now you can give extra information about a column that doesn't fit naturally in its name (developed by ANCT).
• New /download/table-schema?tableId=NNN endpoint to get a table scheme in frictionless format (developed by ANCT).
• Beta version of a Grist desktop app released at gristlabs/grist-electron.
• Beta version of an entirely front-end build of Grist released at gristlabs/grist-static.
• Native support added for rick-rowing (a spreadsheet variant of rick-rolling).

v1.0.8

Highlights:

• User-contributed translations continue apace. Current list is: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish. If you're up for helping out, the starting point is https://community.getgrist.com/t/translating-grist/2086
• Some optimizations to improve formula performance. The Python profiling tool py-spy was particularly helpful to know where CPU time was being spent. Tests on a large document showed a 26% improvement in performance speed. Your mileage may vary.
• Extra hooks for custom builds, introduced for an electron-based Grist Desktop App that now runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac. This is a hobby project of a Grist contributor.

v1.0.7

Highlights:

• User-contributed translations en Français, Español, Português und Deutsch.
• New language picker (for when your browser default isn't what you want).
• New button to maximize a single widget temporarily.
• New "View As" banner for testing access rules more conveniently.
• New checkbox to add "seed rules" for any new access rule group.
• New checkbox to restrict schema editing permission to owners.
• Easier access to document settings page.

v1.0.4

Highlights:

• Duplicate table - duplicate entire tables (with or without data) in Raw Data page.
• Proper documented table and column manipulation endpoints in API, less need for awkward workarounds.
• Better shortcuts for adding/removing rows.
