## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
NocoDB 2026.08.0. Source highlight: <img width="1865" height="1147" alt="release" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/405551a9-ef30-43e1-82ec-410c596179c6" />

## Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- - **Rollup fields validate their target.** Creating a rollup over a field that cannot be aggregated, such as a Link, Lookup, or Button field, is rejected with a clear error instead of breaking every read of the table.

## New Features
- **Hide paid features on unlicensed instances.** A new **Show only community edition features** preference under **Account → Profile** hides paid feature badges, upgrade prompts, and controls that only lead to an upgrade screen, so an instance running without a license shows just what it can actually do. The option appears only on unlicensed self-hosted instances.

## Bug Fixes
- **Dynamic conditions in Record-Level Security.** A policy can now reference whoever is viewing the data, such as the current user, their email, or their teams, so a single policy like "Assignee is the current user" covers the whole workspace. Policies can also filter on system fields such as Created by and Last modified by. Available on NocoDB Cloud (Scale plan and above) and self-hosted Scale and Enterprise plans. Learn more →
- **New WEEKNUM formula function.** `WEEKNUM(date, [startDayOfWeek])` returns the week of the year a date falls in, matching how spreadsheets calculate it. Weeks start on Sunday by default, and an optional second argument picks a different first day of the week. Learn more →
- **Select a range of rows with Shift+click.** Hold Shift while clicking a row's checkbox in the grid to select every row between it and the last row you clicked, the same way spreadsheets work.
- **v3 link updates stay scoped to the requested records.** Updating a link field through the v3 records API no longer removes those linked records from other rows.
- **Delete select options by title in API v3.** The field options delete endpoint now accepts option titles instead of ids and ignores titles that do not exist. Update existing v3 integrations accordingly.
- **Behaviour change in API v1: user updates no longer change workspace access.** `PATCH /api/v1/users/{userId}` no longer changes default workspace access. To grant access to a specific base, use `POST /api/v3/meta/bases/{baseId}/members` with `{ email, base_role }`. To allow base creation and workspace-wide access, use `POST /api/v3/meta/workspaces/{workspaceId}/members` with `{ email, workspace_role }`.
