Week of November 2, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week fixed several bugs people would hit in daily use: accepting a suggestion could leave a document half changed, comment triangles did nothing in list columns, and links ending in dashes were cut short. It also cleaned up focus handling around dialogs, the attachments editor and side panels. Much of the remaining work made the browser test suite wait for the page to settle instead of fixed delays, which reduces flaky failures in continuous integration.

This week: accepting suggestions now applies cleanly when documents have references, links ending in dashes are kept whole, comment triangles work in list columns, and guest counts only show for document shares. Plus a lot of test flake fixes.

Post for LinkedIn

Changes in grist-core this week: Accepting a proposal now builds every action first and applies them in one call, so a failure no longer leaves a document half changed or puts references on unrelated rows. Links in sheet cells may end with dashes and stay intact, the comment triangle now opens comments in Reference List and Choice List columns, and guest counts appear only for document shares. Users are sorted alphabetically in the user manager and View as lists, and keyboard focus stays where you are working around dialogs, the attachments editor and side panels. Much of the week went to browser tests that wait for the page to settle rather than fixed delays, which should cut flaky failures in continuous integration.

Week of October 26, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week brings a new way to build widgets inside a document and better guidance for admins on whether their storage is persistent. It also fixes date arithmetic and chart category ordering that users of formulas and charts would notice, and removes a version listing hang for some storage backends. Most other work went into test reliability, accessibility and build checks.

Out now: v1.7.22. Create your own widget with a code editor and live preview in the document. Admins get a storage-persistence prompt in setup and the admin panel, quick setup has a restart-needed screen, EDATE and DATEADD clamp to month end, and RIGHT(text, 0) returns an empty s

Post for LinkedIn

Grist v1.7.22 is out. The widget picker now has a Create your own option that opens a code editor with live preview, so you can write a widget's HTML and JavaScript right in the document, and widgets from the old Custom Widget Builder can switch over. Quick setup's Backups step and the admin panel's Storage section now ask admins whether storage survives a restart, warning when data looks likely to be in memory or gone. Quick setup also shows a restart-needed screen instead of an error when settings save but no restart shell is available. On the formula side, EDATE and DATEADD now clamp to the end of the target month, RIGHT returns an empty string for zero characters, and multiseries line and area charts keep x-axis categories in order. Document version listing no longer hangs on stores th

What shipped

Why it matters

This week's changes are almost all test and UI reliability fixes. Admin panel screens no longer show unloaded or wrong values, toasts are announced once to screen reader users, and warning banner text is readable against its background. The test fixes target races around focus, loading, scrolling and shared browser state that made runs flaky.

Admin panel no longer shows values before they load, screen readers announce only new toasts, and warning banners use readable dark text. A batch of test fixes waits for menus, scrolling, focus and permissions so browser test runs fail less on CI.

Post for LinkedIn

This week brought a set of fixes to grist-core. In the admin panel, values no longer appear before they load, so admins stop briefly seeing an unavailable message or inaccurate check results. Toasts are now announced to screen readers only when newly added, rather than re-announcing everything still on screen. Warning banners use dark text so they are readable against their background. Several browser test races were fixed by waiting for menus to take focus, the grid to finish scrolling, permissions to load and access rule menu actions to run, and by not leaking a short script timeout between test files. The full list is in the changelog.

Week of October 12, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week matters because a calendar regression that saved views on every click is fixed, so switching Day, Week and Month no longer changes what other people see in a shared document. The Windows build failure for locale files is also resolved, which keeps locale output building the same on every platform.

Changelog entry

Post for X

Calendar view changes now stay local until saved, so switching Day, Week or Month no longer updates the view for everyone else. Windows locale builds are also fixed.

Post for LinkedIn

This week's changes to the project: calendar Day, Week and Month perspective changes now stay local until saved, so an editor no longer changes the view for everyone with the document open. The Windows build of locale files is fixed by having the script add module paths itself rather than relying on NODE_PATH. Several test fixes are included as well: the flaky QuickSetupAuth tests, the CalendarView setup modal option lookup, and the restart shell being disabled during node inspector debugging.

Week of September 21, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week's changes fix critical issues blocking recent Deno versions and ensure backups are properly reported as enabled in production deployments. The docker-compose update removes a maintenance burden by switching to an actively maintained storage backend.

Changelog entry

Post for X

Fixed Deno 2.9.6 compatibility for the pyodide sandbox. Corrected backups status reporting for external storage. Updated docker-compose to use RustFS instead of unmaintained MinIO.

Post for LinkedIn

This week we fixed critical compatibility issues and improved deployment experience. A Deno 2.9.6 update broke sandbox startup, now resolved with explicit command invocation. Backups with external storage (MinIO/S3) now correctly report as enabled. The docker-compose example switched from unmaintained MinIO to RustFS for better long-term support.
