v0.19.0: Connections That Know They're Production, Columns That Keep Secrets, and Tables Without a Primary Key You Can Finally Edit

v0.19.0 adds colored tags and environment classification with a production write guard, masks sensitive columns in the results grid, makes tables without a primary key editable, closes the plugin driver feature gap with BLOB and materialized-view forwarding plus plugin-owned connection fields, validates plugin archives before they can touch an existing install, and stops bundling libwayland in the Linux AppImage.

Installing Tabularis from the AUR, the Careful Way

After the malware wave that hit 200+ AUR packages, the Arch team temporarily disabled package adoption. Our tabularis-bin package is unaffected and still on the AUR, but a few of you asked how to install without going through an AUR helper. Here's how to build straight from our GitHub repo — and what to check in any PKGBUILD before you run it.

v0.18.0: Users and Privileges, a Connection Test That Tells You Where It Failed, and a Data Grid You Can Actually Select

v0.18.0 adds MySQL/MariaDB user and privilege management, rebuilds the connection modal around a real SSH test with classified errors and a step-by-step diagnostics log, lets a connection browse every database without picking any, gives the data grid keyboard navigation and honest copy scopes, exports the ER diagram as Mermaid or DBML, and teaches PostgreSQL to edit hstore and render expression indexes.

v0.17.0: Visual EXPLAIN That Points at the Problem, a Row Editor That Follows You, and SQL That Formats Itself

v0.16.0: A Hosted Plugin Registry, Kubernetes Your Way, and Backups That Encrypt Themselves

v0.16.0 gives the plugin ecosystem real infrastructure: a hosted registry at registry.tabularis.dev, a searchable driver catalogue inside New Connection, and one-click deep-link installs — plus kubectl/kubeconfig overrides for Kubernetes tunnels, automatic encrypted connection backups to a folder or WebDAV, run-statement-at-cursor in the editor, AWS RDS IAM authentication for MySQL, and Elasticsearch and Cloudflare D1 drivers.

v0.15.0: Bring Your Connections With You — Imports, Nested Groups, and Encrypted Exports

v0.15.0 is the connections release: import saved connections from DBeaver, Beekeeper Studio, TablePlus, DataGrip and Sequel Ace, organize them in nested folders, act on many at once, and export them encrypted — plus ENUM dropdown editing on MySQL and PostgreSQL, an MCP safety fix for EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and Windows that finally stops flashing console windows.

Tabularis Joins the SignPath.io Open Source Program

Tabularis has been accepted into the SignPath.io open source program: a free code signing certificate from the SignPath Foundation for our Windows releases. Over the next few weeks we'll wire signing into the release pipeline — and then the days of telling users to click 'More info → Run anyway' are over.

v0.14.0: Stored Routines, Windows of Their Own, and a Guard Against the Unrecoverable

v0.14.0 opens the 0.14 line: manage stored procedures and functions from the sidebar, pop a connection into its own window, browse PostgreSQL materialized views, and get a confirmation dialog before a DELETE without a WHERE — plus typo-tolerant fuzzy search everywhere and a stack of Postgres/MySQL correctness fixes.

v0.13.4: Unlock Everything — Hardware Keys, Free-Floating Results, and a Sharper Editor

Translating Tabularis, the Right Way: Why We Chose Tolgee

Tabularis ships in 8 languages, but contributing a translation has meant editing raw JSON in a Git diff with no idea where the string lived. We've picked Tolgee to change that: open source, self-hostable, context-rich translating. Tolgee is also backing the project while we do it. Here's the honest why, and what's coming: community translations from the web, delivered over the air, with in-app translating as the long-term goal.

We Vibe-Coded a Database-Themed Platformer

We gave Fable 5 a single day and accidentally shipped a browser platformer themed entirely around Tabularis — three database worlds, boss mascots, hidden plugins. It's free, it's open source, and we're not game developers. If you are, let's build new worlds together.

v0.13.1: Signed macOS Builds, a Postgres Explain That Finally Runs, and Pagination That Honors Your OFFSET
