AlcedoCore Release Candidates 2 & 3: Bug Fixes and Improvements - AlcedoCore Blog

September 5, 2026

We all know the feeling...

Bugs

We all know the feeling: you release something, and the next day, you have list with issues to fix. The last few days were exactly that. When I released RC01, I expected bugs to surfacebut the sheer number discovered in just a few days was surprising! (Thanks to everyone who reported them!)

Improvements

While fixing bugs, I also introduced several improvements:

  • Improved UI for non-admin users
  • Filters now use structured field inputs instead of raw text
  • More descriptive error messages (toasts)
  • Improved support for system fields (e.g., users collection)
  • Enhanced functionality for adding sections
  • The admin plugin now integrates the official SDK
  • CLI: Typescript plugin template example improved

What’s Next

The backend still needs a thorough review and cleanup. While addressing bugs, I noticed redundant logic in some mechanics, particularly those generated by the AI I was using. My first priority will be refining the filtering mechanics, as they are critical for both permissions and filtering via the UI/API.

Schema Introspection + Query Builder

In an earlier prototype, I developed a schema introspection service and query builder. To address current issues with the Items API—and for future optimizations, I’ll be implementing this. It also paves the way for importing existing tables/schemas, though that may be a topic for later.

There are more things “next” and on my mind, some of it is on the other post.

What is on my mind

GitHub

To become a bit more “professional”, i will be using Github releases and pull requests from now on. I will also be looking into providing a contributing.md and other files that you would typicly expect from a GitHub repository.
