The December 2022 Newsletter has a quick summary of improvements made to Grist in the last month.
New Date Filter with Calendar
Filtering date and datetime columns just got easier. You can now select a date range using a calendar picker.
The bounds of the range may also be relative — for example, from 1st day of this month to Today . The filter will update with each passing day.
Snapshots in Grist Core
Previously, snapshots were available on hosted Grist and the self-managed enterprise plan, and relied on commercial cloud storage services. Now, snapshot support is also available on Grist Core — the open source version of Grist — and can work with open source self-hosted storage options such as MinIO. 
Learn how to set up snapshots.
