What is noVNC?

noVNC ships about once a year, and its betas and finals carry identical notes.

noVNC released 1.7.0 in April 2026, six months after its beta and thirteen months after 1.6.0. Each release pairs a beta and a final whose release notes are word-for-word identical — 1.6.0 and its beta were even published sixteen seconds apart. The 1.7.0 highlights are modest: Croatian and Hungarian translations, a styling fix for near-invisible buttons, and a warning before closing a session tab when view-only is off.

What is Teable?

Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.

Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

noVNC vs Teable: editorial side-by-side

N

COLLAB
0.0

noVNC ships about once a year, and its betas and finals carry identical notes.

◆ Current state

noVNC released 1.7.0 in April 2026, six months after its beta and thirteen months after 1.6.0. Each release pairs a beta and a final whose release notes are word-for-word identical — 1.6.0 and its beta were even published sixteen seconds apart. The 1.7.0 highlights are modest: Croatian and Hungarian translations, a styling fix for near-invisible buttons, and a warning before closing a session tab when view-only is off.

◆ Where it's heading

The project moves at roughly one release a year and spends it on polish and protocol compatibility rather than direction. The 1.6.0 cycle was the most substantial recently — declarative configuration through defaults.json and mandatory.json, relative WebSocket URLs, faster session resize — and 1.7.0 is lighter than that. This is infrastructure being kept correct, not extended.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release around a year out, again paired with a beta carrying the same notes, and again weighted toward translations, encoding compatibility and interface fixes. Nothing in these entries points to a structural change.

6.3

Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.

◆ Current state

Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
