v0.0.19	## Bug Fixes - Weaviate: fixed GraphQL error for collections with object-typed properties — Querying collections that contain an `object` property (e.g. a `payload` field with nested sub-fields) would fail with `Field "X" of type "..." must have a sub selection`. The document list and search views now correctly expand object fields into their nested sub-selections based on the collection schema, while scalar fields continue to work as before.	Medium	4/1/2026
