Week of October 5, 2026
What shipped
- Version 6.1.6 was released with a DuckDB type alias fix and a ClickHouse formatting fix. Release
- DuckDB column types that carry type aliases, such as JSON or imported MSSQL column types, no longer show the alias as the column name. Pull request #4838
- ClickHouse queries are now formatted with the ClickHouse formatter instead of the wrong one. Pull request #4847
- Vim mode now supports relative line numbers, registered as vim's number, nu, relativenumber and rnu options so they work from.beekeeper.vimrc and:set or:setlocal. Pull request #4844
- The UI kit release workflow was fixed because git does not allow colons in tag names. Pull request #4849
- UI kit version 0.4.0 was released. Release
- Broken documentation links found in an SEO audit were fixed, with strict mode for mkdocs, a script to find broken links in the supported databases include, and a pull request workflow to catch broken doc links before merging. Pull request #4840
Why it matters
This week brings a new release with two fixes that affect day to day querying: ClickHouse queries get formatted correctly and DuckDB columns no longer show type aliases in place of their real names. Vim users also get relative line numbers in vim mode, and the docs are cleaned up with checks that keep broken links from being merged.

Released v6.1.6: DuckDB type aliases no longer replace column names, and ClickHouse queries use the ClickHouse formatter. Vim mode now supports relative line numbers via.beekeeper.vimrc and:set. UI kit v0.4.0 is out and the docs broken links are fixed.
This week we released v6.1.6 with two fixes. DuckDB columns that carry type aliases such as JSON or imported MSSQL types were showing the alias instead of the column name, and that is now corrected. ClickHouse queries were not using the ClickHouse formatter, so formatting is fixed there too. Vim mode now supports relative line numbers, registered as vim's number, nu, relativenumber and rnu options, so they work from your.beekeeper.vimrc and from:set or:setlocal. We also shipped UI kit v0.4.0 after fixing the release workflow, which failed because git does not allow colons in tag names. On the docs side, an SEO audit turned up broken links, so we fixed them and added strict mkdocs mode, a script for broken links in the supported databases include, and a workflow that checks for broken doc l
