โก Executive Summary (TL;DR)
NocoDB 2026.05.2. Source highlight: <img width="1865" height="1147" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5e6661ab-4490-4cc8-87ec-114aedc2dc7d" />
Who Does This Impact? (Role-Based Analysis)
๐ป Software Engineers & Devs
Check the source notes against the package and APIs you use before upgrading.
๐ Product & Engineering Leads
Use the documented changes to assess relevance to your product; release frequency alone is not a quality measure.
โ๏ธ DevOps & Security
Verify the target version, runtime requirements and rollback procedure in the official documentation.
๐ง Bug Fixes & Patches (6)
- **Search and hide blank fields in an expanded record.** In an expanded record you can now search for any field or value, useful when you have lots of fields. Plus the ability to hide blank fields too.
- **Pinned filters for date fields.** Date, DateTime, Created time, and Last modified time fields can now be pinned to the toolbar as compact pills (exact date, days ago, past N days).
- **Dashboard chart color palettes.** On Cloud dashboards, bar, line, pie, donut, and scatter widgets gain a palette picker, and gauges get a full color picker for range colors.
- **Arrow keys step numeric form fields.** Up and Down arrows now increment and decrement Integer, Decimal, and Percent fields in forms, matching how Currency already behaved.
- **AutoNumber on empty tables.** Adding an AutoNumber field to an empty table no longer throws an error; the sequence initializes correctly.
- **Row coloring persists across view switches.** A row-color condition's value is now retained when you switch views instead of resetting.

## Gantt View
<img width="2880" height="1570" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c194cf78-7b4c-4c50-a782-523525bd9e04" />
**Gantt View** turns any date-based table into a live project schedule: records become draggable bars, dependencies become arrows, and key dates become milestone diamonds. Whether you're planning a product launch, mapping a roadmap, or coordinating project phases, it shows what runs when and what blocks what. Drag to reschedule, link tasks from a bar's handle, and zoom from a one-week sprint out to a five-year roadmap.

## Shared Pages
<img width="2004" height="1520" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9e57a046-ee17-46ea-a9ab-3e9fa1cb1c30" />
**You can now publicly share a NocoDocs page** as a read-only link that anyone can open in a browser, no NocoDB account required. Whether you're sharing product docs, a project brief, or an internal wiki, you can take a document straight from the editor to a shareable URL, or embed it elsewhere with an iframe snippet. Switch the toggle off to revoke the link in seconds.

## Expanded Record Side Panel in Community Edition
<img width="2622" height="1568" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/56d078c3-c44f-4ab0-902f-f6ffe275ceee" />
The **Expanded Record Side Panel**, introduced in 2026.05.1, now ships in Community Edition. Opening a record docks it to the right of the grid instead of a full-screen modal, so your data stays in view while you edit fields, read comments, or scan revision history. It's the default desktop layout across all editions; public and shared views still open as a centered modal.

## Account Security
- **One active session per account.** Signing in on a new device or browser signs out the previous session, across every sign-in path including SSO. On by default in all editions; API tokens are unaffected.
- **Workspace 2FA now covers owners.** Owners are no longer exempt from workspace-wide 2FA enforcement, so on Enterprise workspaces that require 2FA, owners are prompted to enroll before continuing.
## Improvements & Fixes
- **Search and hide blank fields in an expanded record.** In an expanded record you can now search for any field or value, useful when you have lots of fields. Plus the ability to hide blank fields too.
- **Pinned filters for date fields.** Date, DateTime, Created time, and Last modified time fields can now be pinned to the toolbar as compact pills (exact date, days ago, past N days).
- **Dashboard chart color palettes.** On Cloud dashboards, bar, line, pie, donut, and scatter widgets gain a palette picker, and gauges get a full color picker for range colors.
- **Arrow keys step numeric form fields.** Up and Down arrows now increment and decrement Integer, Decimal, and Percent fields in forms, matching how Currency already behaved.
- **AutoNumber on empty tables.** Adding an AutoNumber field to an empty table no longer throws an error; the sequence initializes correctly.
- **Row coloring persists across view switches.** A row-color condition's value is now retained when you switch views instead of resetting.
- **Junction tables excluded from the table limit.** Hidden many-to-many link tables are no longer counted toward a base's table limit, restoring the intended number of user-visible tables.
- **Hidden required fields no longer fail silently.** Hiding a required (NOT NULL) field now warns, flags it in the Fields menu, auto-expands hidden fields when adding a record, and shows a clear save error instead of dropping the row.
- **Calendar and date fields respect the column timezone.** Drag, resize, and display on Calendar views no longer show the wrong offset for MySQL DateTime and timezone-configured columns.
## Self-Hosting Notes
- **If you were using `NC_CONNECTION_ENCRYPT_KEY` and 2FA, please do read.** On instances running with `NC_CONNECTION_ENCRYPT_KEY` set, TOTP had issues while verifying the code due to the encrypt/decrypt round-trip, causing every 2FA verification to fail with "Invalid verification code". This is fixed. If you were using 2FA, you will need to disable and re-enroll. Note that 2FA only applies to email and password based logins, not to SSO.
- **Private-network access for databases and webhooks.** SSRF protection is enforced by default. If your instance connects to a database or sends webhooks on a private or local network, you may need to opt in with the relevant environment variables (`NC_ALLOW_LOCAL_EXTERNAL_DBS`, `NC_WEBHOOK_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` / `NC_ALLOW_LOCAL_HOOKS`), or disable SSRF filtering globally with `NC_DISABLE_SSRF_PROTECTION`. NocoDB Cloud always enforces SSRF protection.
- **Security dependency audit.** This release clears a large batch of dependency security advisories across the stack (including `axios`, `next`, and `mermaid`) with no changes to public APIs.
