v0.9.16: Connection Groups, But Faster
After the much bigger notebook release, v0.9.16 is a smaller one. The focus here is on making connection organization less clunky: fewer context menu steps, more direct manipulation. If you use groups heavily, this release removes a bit of friction you'll feel immediately.
Drag and Drop for Connection Groups
This is @thomaswasle's contribution in PR #126.
Connection groups on the Connections page are now draggable.
You can:
- Drag a group by its grip handle to reorder it
- Drag a connection onto another group to move it there
- See a visual highlight on the target group while dragging
That sounds small, but it changes the workflow quite a bit. Before, reorganizing connections meant using menus and explicit move actions. Now it's the interaction you'd expect: grab, drop, done.
For anyone with separate local, staging, production, analytics, or client-specific setups, this makes keeping the list tidy much less annoying.
Pagination Logic, Cleaned Up
There is also a useful backend cleanup in the built-in drivers: pagination logic is now centralized for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite instead of each driver carrying its own slightly different implementation.
The practical effect is consistency. When Tabularis paginates a SELECT, it now preserves ORDER BY more safely and respects user-written LIMIT / OFFSET clauses as a cap instead of treating them differently depending on the driver.
This is not the kind of change that needs a screenshot, but it is the kind that prevents subtle "why is page 2 weird?" behavior later.
Small Follow-Up Fix
A small UI follow-up also landed right after the drag-and-drop work: a corrected useDatabase destructure in the sidebar. Not headline material, but exactly the kind of cleanup worth shipping in a point release.
What's Next
One of the next updates will be Visual Explain — the new query plan analysis workflow previewed in the dedicated blog post.
v0.9.16 is available now. Update via the in-app updater, or download from the releases page.
