What is NocoDB?

Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.

NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.

What is teal.modules.clinical?

Roche's clinical teal modules have settled into slow, decorator-driven maintenance.

The module library took its architectural break in 0.9.0, when every module moved to teal_data objects and dropped data_extract_spec inputs. Work since then is narrower: formatting arguments, decorator plumbing, and per-module bug fixes. The 0.13.0 candidates cut in July 2026 are a two-tag same-day release where the first tag carries all the notes.

6.3

Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.

◆ Current state

NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is consistent: NocoDB launches a surface, then spends the next release making it governable and usable at team scale. Presence and folders are collaboration parity rather than new direction — the directional bet was Interfaces, and this release is that bet being made safe for the eighty people who only need to approve something. The permission system is now the same one across tables, fields, dashboards, and interface pages, which is the consolidation that makes the app layer sellable.

◆ Prediction

Write-back actions and embedding are the remaining pieces app builders expect from Interfaces, and the availability tables in each release suggest they land on the paid tier.

T0.0

Roche's clinical teal modules have settled into slow, decorator-driven maintenance.

◆ Current state

The module library took its architectural break in 0.9.0, when every module moved to teal_data objects and dropped data_extract_spec inputs. Work since then is narrower: formatting arguments, decorator plumbing, and per-module bug fixes. The 0.13.0 candidates cut in July 2026 are a two-tag same-day release where the first tag carries all the notes.

◆ Where it's heading

Development has shifted from reshaping the module API to making outputs configurable — numeric formatting in tm_t_summary, several decorators applied to one output object, categorical statistics in summary_by. Changes arrive from a wide bench of Roche engineers with occasional outside contributors, and releases go through candidates rather than straight to final.

◆ Prediction

A 0.13.0 final should follow the candidates with little beyond a dependency bump; the decorator work ported from teal.modules.general is the most likely source of the next batch of changes.
