🛠️ Other Updates

• Reordering filters was cumbersome: Filter conditions followed a fixed order, making complex logic harder to manage. Filters can now be reordered using drag-and-drop, giving you better control and faster iteration while building views.

• Percent values lacked precision control: Percent fields were limited in how precisely values could be represented. Added precision support for Percent fields, allowing you to define decimal accuracy for cleaner calculations and clearer data presentation.

• Default view was locked to Grid: Tables always opened in Grid view, even when another view was more relevant. You can now set any view as the default for a table, ensuring users land directly on the most meaningful view.

• Commenters and viewers had full toolbar access: Limited-access roles were exposed to advanced actions. Commenter and Viewer roles now work in a simplified interface without toolbar access, keeping the experience focused, secure, and role-appropriate.

Addressed several bug fixes and improved security.

📢 License Update

TL;DR: If your use of NocoDB is not to offer a commercial service, nothing changes for you. Keep using it exactly as you do today. We're making this move so we can give you more and not less.

Starting with this release, NocoDB is transitioning its license from AGPL 3.0 to a Fair-code–based Sustainable Use License. This change is designed to protect the long-term sustainability of the project while keeping NocoDB open, transparent, and community-driven. The Fair-code model has resonated strongly across the open-source and no-code communities, with projects adopting this approach now collectively representing over 170,000+ GitHub stars : a signal that sustainable open-source business models are not just viable, but thriving. The new license continues to allow free use, modification, and self-hosting, while placing reasonable limits on commercial offerings.

This step helps ensure that innovation in NocoDB is funded, maintained, and driven by the community for the long run.

⚠️ Breaking Change

Using base names and table names in API endpoints is no longer supported.
All API integrations must now use IDs instead of names.

Including names as part of API paths is highly discouraged, as names can be changed by other users, which may break existing integrations unexpectedly.
