## New Features
- **On-prem plans resolve from the license itself.** The plan for a self-hosted deployment is now derived from the signed license type rather than optional metadata, so each install gets exactly the tier it is licensed for. Deployments activated through a marketplace, an admin-issued key, or a legacy key without that metadata could previously fall back to Enterprise features they were not licensed for and will now resolve to their actual plan. Expired legacy Enterprise trial licenses no longer gra
- **Expired trials no longer lock you out.** When an Enterprise trial expires, the instance now falls back to Community behaviour with paid features gated, instead of covering the interface with a full-screen blocking overlay.

## Improvements
- **Reliability improvements.** Permanently deleting records now handles formula and link fields whose configuration was already cleaned up, and an unreachable external data source no longer floods the logs while re-validating formulas.

## Bug Fixes
- **Attach files to comments.** Comments now take images and files, added from the file picker, pasted straight in, or dropped onto the composer. Available on NocoDB Cloud (Plus plan and above) and licensed self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above). Learn more →
- **Trigger webhooks from comments.** Webhooks can now fire when a comment is added, edited, deleted, resolved, or reopened, and can be narrowed to comments that mention a particular person or exclude comments posted by your own integrations. Learn more →
- **Checksum formulas.** New `MD5()`, `SHA256()`, and `SHA512()` functions compute a hash of any value, useful for checksums and spotting changed records. Available on PostgreSQL and MySQL. Learn more →
- **Localized date formatting in formulas.** A new `DATETIME_FORMAT()` function formats a date or datetime into text, including the localized `LL`, `LLL`, and `LLLL` presets. Learn more →
- **Sort and limit Lookup values.** A Lookup field can now sort the values it pulls in and show only the first or last few, instead of every linked value. Available on PostgreSQL, on NocoDB Cloud (Plus plan and above) and licensed self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above). Learn more →
- **Persian (Jalali) calendar.** Date and DateTime fields can display and accept dates in the Jalali calendar by picking one of the new Jalali date formats; values are still stored as standard dates underneath. Learn more →
