0.0.23 — 2026-07-08
Section titled “0.0.23 — 2026-07-08”Highlights
Section titled “Highlights”- Widgets are now HTML docs: one kind of doc alongside markdown and rich text, living in the same sidebar tree, folders, and space overview.
- Version history for HTML docs: every change (yours, an agent’s, or on disk) becomes a restorable version you can browse, compare, and restore.
- Annotations and freshness on HTML docs: the same comments, review state, and stale markers your other docs already have.
Changed
Section titled “Changed”- HTML docs open in place: full-bleed in the main pane with a fullscreen toggle, instead of a framed preview that launched a browser tab.
- Folders for agents: agents can file HTML docs into folders by creating them with slash-style ids (for example
plans/q3-redesign). - Mermaid editor: diagram blocks open with the source collapsed, and the editor follows your light or dark theme.
- Copy HTML: copies an HTML doc’s full source from the header or its menus, ready to paste into a conversation or another tool.
- Archived banner: archived HTML docs show a banner with one-click Restore, matching docs.
- Live sidebar updates: agent changes to HTML docs (create, rename, archive, delete) appear in the sidebar immediately.
- Mermaid in exports: copying, exporting, or reading a doc no longer drops its Mermaid diagrams; they come through as code blocks.
- Table colors: cells with custom text or background colors keep that formatting when saved.
- Block selection outline: selecting a Mermaid, image, or file block no longer shows a misaligned double outline.
0.0.22 — 2026-07-07

.mdfile, or print and save it as a clean PDF, from the header’s export menu.

0.0.19 — 2026-07-04
Section titled “0.0.19 — 2026-07-04”Highlights
Section titled “Highlights”- Doc freshness in the app: every open doc shows who last touched it and how long ago, stale docs get a sidebar marker, and Mark Reviewed clears it.
- Richer records: new field types, typed relations between collections, and a far more capable query language, with existing collections and queries unchanged.
- Reachable mode stays put: a network-reachable Worktable now remains reachable across restarts, reboots, and updates instead of quietly falling back to local-only.
- Record field types: text, url, email, person, select and multi-select, typed relations (single or list), and numbers with units.
- Record queries: and/or/not filters, filtering through relations, multi-field sort, cursor pagination, expanded references, backlinks, and grouped counts, sums, and averages.
- Relation integrity: per-field delete policies block or clear references to a deleted record, and dangling references surface as collection warnings.
- Widget query permissions: widgets following relations or expanding references need read permission on those collections too.
- Collection descriptions: collections and fields carry descriptions agents can see, plus an optional well-known type hint (like schema:Person).
- Update visibility:
worktable status,update --check, Settings, and a one-line post-command nudge all report when a newer release is available.
- Read-only commands:
status,doctor,paths, andmcp statusnever rewrite your configuration. - Durable configuration: the config file is written durably and backed up; if it is ever unreadable, Worktable restores the last good copy instead of resetting to defaults.
- Linux service startup: the background service starts after a reboot on headless machines, and leftover competing service definitions are cleaned up with a warning.
- Review accuracy: simply opening an agent-written doc no longer marks it reviewed; only actually editing or interacting with the content does.

Section titled “0.0.18 — 2026-07-03”- Unreadable record reporting: collections report which record files could not be read (and why) to the app, to agents, and once to the server log.

Changed
Section titled “Changed”- Automatic completions: shell tab completion is installed with Worktable by default; skip with
--no-completions. - Record index: queries and record search are served from a background index (machine-local, auto-rebuilding, safe to delete); records stay plain YAML files.
- Widget query validation: malformed widget queries are rejected with a clear error, and the 1000-result limit applies to widgets too.
- Forward compatibility: workspaces written by a newer Worktable stay readable and writable, and edits no longer strip fields this version doesn’t understand.
0.0.17 — 2026-07-03
Section titled “0.0.17 — 2026-07-03”- Space Home: opening a space shows a generated overview (docs by folder, backlinks, stale markers, a needs-attention strip); agents get the same index read-only.
- Doc freshness signals: doc reads and search results carry how recently a human touched a doc and whether it has gone stale; reviews record a human checkpoint.
- Wiki lint: broken links, orphaned docs, and over-long docs are flagged as annotations that update and resolve themselves.
- Write guidance for agents: agent doc writes return convention warnings (broken links, missing title, deep folders) without blocking anything.
- Documentation site: docs.worktable.dev, with install guides, concepts, and reference material.
0.0.16 — 2026-06-28
Section titled “0.0.16 — 2026-06-28”- Software update flow: Settings shows the running version and updates Worktable in place (downloads in the background, then restarts into the new release).
- Records in search: records now appear in workspace search results.
- Record query types: numeric and date fields sort and filter by value, and combined filters (like a date range) apply all their conditions.
- Concurrent record writes: simultaneous edits no longer overwrite each other, and same-title creates no longer collide.

Section titled “Changed”- Clean doc file names: file names are slugs derived from the title (
Planning Onsitebecomesplanning-onsite); lists show the doc’s first heading as its title.
- History survives rename: renaming a doc no longer detaches its version history.
- Docs with spaces: names with spaces no longer produce duplicate copies during live editing.
- Annotation anchors: badges re-anchor to their quoted text when a doc is rewritten, and each annotation shows the text it refers to.
0.0.12 — 2026-06-27

worktable uninstallshows exactly what it will remove, accepts--yes, and offers--purgeto also delete the workspace folder.

Changed
Section titled “Changed”- Clearer setup and status: setup explains each choice before asking, and
worktable statussays why an agent client isn’t connected. - Simpler exposure gating: reaching Worktable beyond your machine is gated by the owner password alone; the redundant
--insecureflag is gone.
0.0.9 — 2026-06-26
Section titled “0.0.9 — 2026-06-26”- Optional network access: setup can make Worktable reachable beyond your machine (off by default), protected by an owner password and an agent token.
Changed
Section titled “Changed”- Workspace adoption: setup names the workspace it adopts, and refuses (with a clear message) folders that already hold unrelated files.
- Workspace identity: an unfamiliar or unreadable identity file is never overwritten, so an existing workspace keeps its identity across upgrades.
0.0.8 — 2026-06-21
Section titled “0.0.8 — 2026-06-21”Maintenance release.
0.0.7 — 2026-06-19

curl | shinstaller’s prompts now read from your terminal, and no longer crash partway through on macOS. - Setup restart: re-running
worktable setupwhile the service is running restarts it, so updated settings take effect right away.
0.0.6 — 2026-06-18
