What's New in DBHub
4.0.0
October 14, 2026
This update adds table and custom plugins, expands formulas and exports, unlocks more field settings, and improves Focus Timer, browsing, and device support. • Enhanced reference formula editing: reference fields in the current record, configure default formulas, insert functions, and preview results. Supports math, dates, random values, counting, text processing, and field aggregates. • Added table plugins for pickup codes, image EXIF, App Store information, bill images, product screenshots, and barcode recognition. Focus Timer is now a free table plugin. Plugins can be enabled per table. • Import custom plugins from files or pasted JSON, then update and share them. Includes plugin development documentation, examples, and debugging tools. • Export records as images or PDFs while preserving their detail style and theme background. Select multiple records after searching or filtering, with automatic pagination for long PDF content. • Statistics follow the order in which metrics are added, and cards expand as needed. Improved chart date labels, heatmaps, icons, and previews. • Improved custom collection creation: add, name, and reorder pages. Refined guidance for views, filters, and pages, along with empty-state layouts. • Renamed Record Field Control to “Field Group Switch.” Edit combination names and toggle child fields directly, then long-press to reorder fields or drag them into and out of groups. • System fields in recording tools now allow editing of names, types, required status, and list visibility. • Card browsing is now a record detail style. Added animations and sound to random browsing, with faster opening, paging, and random jumps in large collections. Long-press the Home Screen icon to open Global Search. • Sync individual records to Calendar or Reminders from the long-press menu and view their sync status. Clarified the shared destination settings for manual and automatic sync. • Ascending and descending sorts prioritize field values, then starred records when values match. Starred records remain first when no sort is applied. Fixed sorting issues affecting some dates in special-date fields. • Improved view display settings. Small-image lists now support “Key Information,” and media fields offer “Cover” and “Cover When Filled” options. • Improved checklist line breaks, alignment, and separators for multiple selections in lists and details. Simplified switching title fields while maintaining a single title field. • Fixed first-use Pinyin input, keyboard overlap, accidental rating changes while scrolling, and page jitter when dragging ratings. Improved theme colors, color previews, dialogs, and navigation. • Fixed media imports not saving promptly, attachments disappearing after reopening notes or default-value settings, and false errors from leftover drafts. Improved location search and precision handling. • Improved support for iOS 27, iPhone Duo, iPad multitasking, and Mac. Fixed drafts being lost during layout changes, record full-screen and deletion issues, and the Mac window failing to appear at launch. Improved Mac plugin file recognition. • Added a “Support the Developer” tipping option and refined translations and error messages.
