EdgeDB Beta 3: "Ross"

EdgeDB Beta 3, named "Ross" after the nearby red dwarf star Ross 128, introduces significant enhancements in security, tooling, and EdgeQL syntax. This final beta release features a redesigned CLI for a more intuitive user experience, supporting a conventional command structure with fewer hyphens. The update introduces "free shapes" in EdgeQL, enabling the execution of multiple expressions in a single query, simplified enum syntax, and a new "relative duration" type for easier date manipulation. TLS support now ensures encrypted client/server communications, with certificates required for all instances running Beta 3 or later. Built on PostgreSQL, EdgeDB aims to enhance developer experience by integrating features like declarative schemas and built-in JSON conversion, offering first-party database clients for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go. The focus now shifts to stability and bug fixes in anticipation of the RC release and the forthcoming 1.0 release.
