## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
NocoDB 2026.08.1. Source highlight: Realtime Presence in Grid

## Improvements
- **API improvements** - The v3 records upsert endpoint now accepts link fields inline, resolving linked records by ID or display value, and the v3 field schema now exposes the resolved currency symbol for Currency fields.

## Bug Fixes
- **Two-factor sign-in in the installed app** - Two-factor authentication now works smoothly when NocoDB is installed as an app (PWA).
- **Scheduled snapshot names** - Automatic snapshots are now named using the schedule's timezone, so a nightly snapshot carries the date it actually ran in your timezone.
- **Rich text preview in grid** - Long Text fields with rich text enabled now render cleanly in the grid preview, with special characters displayed correctly and link URLs preserved.
- **AI assistant response recovery** - A response interrupted by a dropped connection or a page refresh now resumes where it left off.
- **Field updates via API keep dependent fields** - Updating a field through the API is now treated as a partial update, preserving QR code and Barcode fields that reference it.
- **Link field permissions** - Field edit permissions are now enforced when linking records through the API, including nested inserts and updates, and the link picker respects read-only link fields.
