Monthly summary for 2025-10 for nextcloud/tables focusing on delivering business value and technical excellence. Key features delivered include API surface and contract improvements for the Table Scheme API, with updated return types, standardized JSON responses, and OpenAPI typings aligned to actual return values. A new capability was added to download the table scheme as JSON with correct headers and stable filename. Important data integrity and reliability improvements were implemented: IDs are parsed as integers to prevent lookup errors, the deduplication logic was removed where unnecessary, and a dedup fix prevents duplicate navigation items. UI polish was applied to inline editing with a rollback to a safer, stable editing/display flow. A rate limit was introduced for Import Preview to prevent abuse. The Tables library reached a stable 1.0.0 release with activity support and assorted fixes/build updates, accompanied by lint/config modernization using a flat ESLint config to improve tooling compatibility. Overall impact includes a cleaner public API, safer data handling, improved user workflows, and a solid baseline for future features.
