Hey everyone, v0.20 of Typesense is now out! 🎉 Here’s what’s new: https://twitter.com/typesense/status/1387630335349850119?s=21

About the schema, will it be possible some day to add new fields without reindexing or is it not possible by design?

@Mica With v0.20 you can now add new fields on the fly without having to re-index, using auto schema detection: https://typesense.org/docs/0.20.0/api/collections.html#with-auto-schema-detection You can now essentially set regex-based field names, which lets you add fields on the fly as you send documents with new fields

Ok I understand better thanks that's awesome! I didn't quite get the part about faceting: if we have a field indexed by the wildcard, can we add a faceting by this field (if we give the field name)?

Yes! You can set any field as a facet, including fields with regexes for names, except for the special case of a field named

.*

.

congratulations!!
