A quicker way to get your project's connection parameters

We've made retrieving your project's connection parameters more easily accessible by adding a "Connect" button to each projects' homepage. This will show you some quick instructions on how to either connect to your database directly, or connect to your project via some app frameworks and ORMs. Hopefully this will help both new and familiar developers on Supabase to get to building quicker without having to jump around the dashboard to find these information.

Table Editor side menu revamp

We're in the midst of revising the UX around the table editor to ensure that controls aren't sprawled across the page despite us building more and more features - and this is just the first step of more to come. Icons for tables and views have been tweaked to be more minimal, each table has an indicator to whether RLS has been enabled or not, and the search bar has been made a tad sleeker. As an assurance, we definitely hear everyone's feedback about the changes here in particular with the search bar being less visible and are actively looking to improve the experience here! 🙏

Table Editor header simplification

Similar to the above, we've updated the layout a little for the Table Editor itself, briefly the changes include

• Support for enabling RLS from the Table Editor
• Showing an indication of how many policies the table has
• Shifting refresh + data/definition toggle to the footer of the grid

All these are tiny steps to allowing us to build more functionality into the Table Editor without turning it into a control panel!

View auth user details

We've had some feedback from users that they'd want a convenient way to check on their project's users from the UI rather than having to go through the Table Editor or SQL Editor to query the auth.users table, and so we've gone ahead to ship this one.
