Feedback on Mathesar v0.2.0-testing.1

[kgodey]

Mathesar 0.2.0-testing.1 offers an early preview of improvements we plan to release in our beta version, including dramatically improved UI responsiveness and a new access control system based on Postgres permissions. This is the first step towards launching the Mathesar beta.

We need to hear from as many users as possible about how this new version of Mathesar is working for you. Please try out the build and share your feedback. See our installation instructions for Docker Compose and from scratch.

Please note that we do not recommend this build for production use. Most features should work, but there are some known issues. You'll also need to perform a fresh install of Mathesar, upgrades from previous Mathesar releases are not currently supported.

We welcome all feedback, especially on:

• UI speed and responsiveness
• Functionality of the new permissions system
• Concerns with using Mathesar in production
• Critical missing features for your use case (details appreciated!)

You can also send us an email at hello@mathesar.org if you'd like to send us private feedback, or open a GitHub issue for any bugs.

P.S. If you want to preserve your user and connection data from Mathesar 0.1.7 rather than installing fresh, we may be able to help on a case-by-case basis. Please email us!
