Oct 1, 20252025-10 Dina UI monthly summary: Delivered a strategic mix of API, UI, and platform improvements that accelerate time-to-value, improve user productivity, and strengthen quality. Key features delivered include: Collection API v2 implementation; project-wide upgrade to Next.js 14; metadata handling and UI enhancements such as test coverage for the metadata bulk editor, display and edit filename capabilities across material samples and attached materials, and UI customization options (banner color override from instance.json and special columns in the object store list view). In addition, configuration changes were clarified by splitting configuration v2 updates into coherent parts. Major bug fixes addressed data management edge cases and UI behavior, notably the error when bulk deleting material samples with storage, issues on the storage unit page, and a UI date selector that set the wrong date. These efforts collectively improve reliability, user experience, and developer velocity.
