Our release notes are designed to keep you updated on the continuous development of Squid Data Hub. In this series, we’ll highlight new features, improvements, and insights from our work.
Release Notes from 22nd August 2025
Attribute Configuration 🔧
You can now configure attributes via a JSON file:
- Disable specific attributes (e.g., Main number of devices)
- Rename default attributes
- Add custom properties
- Custom attributes are now consistently displayed across all detail and edit pages.
- Renaming is supported for most default attributes; disabling works for all optional ones.
- This can now be demonstrated on the demo system
Import Improvements 📥
Introduced import configuration options:
- Choose an import configuration (including the built-in EPlan config for devices and cables).
- Remap column names (e.g., Kabelnummer → subNumber).
- Future updates will include marking required columns and setting default values.
Selection during import:
- You can now selectively import records.
- Warnings are shown if selected/deselected records impact related elements (e.g., missing parent-child relationships).
Import jobs now run as background tasks with a progress bar.
- Progress estimation is currently imprecise due to one long-running step. We’re investigating improvements.
- UI design is still a placeholder; a polished version is in progress by our UX designer.
Filters & Sorting Enhancements 🔍
- Improved filters on all list views.
- Ranged filters now available, though they currently use lexicographic comparison (e.g., “1001” < “101”).
- Filter and sorting preferences are stored in your session and restored automatically if no parameters are set in the URL.
Project & User Management 👥
- Organization owners can now edit project memberships - helpful for backup or admin tasks.
- User settings and password reset pages have received a visual update.
