v10.29 2026-07-23 WeKan ® release

This release adds the following new features:

• Snap: run the bundled FerretDB v1 against an EXTERNAL PostgreSQL / MySQL / SAP HANA server instead of the embedded SQLite backend. Two new snap settings — snap set wekan wekan-ferretdb-handler=postgresql|mysql|hana and wekan-ferretdb-url=… — point FerretDB at a database you run; the default stays the zero-dependency sqlite backend, so existing installs are unchanged. Thanks to xet7.

• Translations: machine translation now only fills the English strings that are untranslated EVERYWHERE, so it can never overwrite a human translation. A new releases/translations/machine-translate.mjs step (run after the per-key Transifex merge, opt-in via WEKAN_MT=1 / WEKAN_MT_URL) translates exactly the leftover English placeholders — which also fully fills any language that has no translation at all — while a string a human already translated is never selected. Machine output stays local and is not pushed to Transifex. Thanks to xet7.

This release fixes the following bugs:

• snap run wekan.problems now loads the snap settings before its checks, so ROOT_URL / LDAP and the other login-page checks read the SAME configuration WeKan runs with. Without this the command read an empty environment and reported ROOT_URL is not set even after snap set wekan root-url=…, which was confusing when diagnosing a blank login page or missing header controls (#6512, #6514). Thanks to akshat-goel and xet7.

Thanks to above GitHub users for their contributions and translators for their translations.
