Changelog (Nightly)

🚧 Important Notice

Please do not share the nightly version.

If you encounter issues and bugs related to the nightly build, please don’t share them publicly in the community but report them in the #nightly-tester channel.

All other changes are on our What’s New page.

We are currently working on a suite of improvements around content views and queries in Capacities! From reviewing all the feedback we’ve received, we’ve identified that this area is the cause of some friction and frustration right at the core of the app. We will be continuously shipping these improvements over the next few weeks to not introduce any new bugs and catch any issues early.

v1.50.6 (2025-07-15)

✨ Improvements

• Major performance improvements: We reword how we compute data that is needed on object pages, on cards, and in tables. You should notice a significant improvement in the performance. It would be great to hear if you notice any improvements. On top, please report any issues you have with text statistics, the object sidebar on the right, backlinks, related tags, and block references.

• Better native interface on the desktop app: There should be no change in how the app works and behaves but we reworked the native interface of the app. If you experience any issues with X-Callbacks, app menus, etc. please let us know in the nightly channel.

🐛 Fixes

• Collection and query order in space overview: The order should now be persistent again across reloads and should not reset anymore.

v1.49.12 (2025-06-27)

Variable Queries

This is a very early prototype but we’d love to get your feedback on it.

Variable queries allow you to use a variable as a parameter in the query definition. You can for example say: “All books written by <parent>” instead of creating a new query for each person where you say “All books written by Max Frisch”.

You can test variable queries by creating a new query on an object page as an embed. In this context you’ll see new options showing up, when you use filters. You will not see them if you open the query as a standalone page.

On top of filtering by the parent, you can also use the parents properties. You could for example say "All meetings where Attendees includes ‘Parent · Title’ ".

Variable queries can be created and reused in templates as well. As soon as you apply the template, the variable will be replaced with the actual value of the parent object.

If you have questions, ideas or feedback about variable queries, please let us know in the nightly channel. We’re looking forward to your feedback and ideas!
