Kanban view gets a complete drag-and-drop overhaul with virtualization, the Agenda module gains full CRUD capabilities, and GraphQL performance improves dramatically with DataLoader integration.

New Features​

Kanban — Drag & Drop Overhaul​

A complete rewrite of the Kanban drag-and-drop system for better performance and reliability (#2473, #2472):

  • Virtualized rendering — Kanban cards now use virtualization for smooth scrolling on boards with thousands of rows
  • Drop projection — dedicated Zustand store for calculating drop position, providing visual feedback before the drop
  • Sorting support — sort Kanban cards within columns, with DnD disabled when custom sort is active (#2486)
  • Visual indicators — improved drop column indicator for clearer drag feedback

Agenda — Full CRUD​

The Agenda module is now fully functional with create, read, update, and delete operations:

  • Delete events — remove events from the details popover with confirmation (#2488)
  • Create and delete mutations — GraphQL mutations integrated with the frontend (#2487)
  • Event details — full event details display with participant management, header spacing fixes, and list improvements (#2414)
  • Inbound email processing — worker for processing inbound emails to create agenda events, with dynamic replyTo configuration (#2486, #2493)

  • Automation email — email send logic with Outlook integration and receiver column selector (#2435, #2459)

Board — New Column Types & Features​

  • Password column — securely store hashed passwords using Argon2, enabling boards to function as a true database (#2484)

  • Dashboard feature — base dashboard feature with type safety improvements
  • Advanced formatting — number and formula column formatting with custom formats, prefixes, and suffixes (#2347)

GraphQL DataLoader​

Integrated DataLoader for board and table GraphQL queries, dramatically reducing database queries (#2415):

  • Batch loading for board participants, workspace members, and related data
  • Optimized performance with lean queries and proper indexing
  • Eliminates N+1 query problems across board-related resolvers

AI Enhancements​
