Version 2.5 release notes
- API improvements
- Added API rate limits to DreamFactory Gold. This feature lets an administrator specify API limits for an entire DreamFactory instance, specific end users, and specific REST APIs. This feature provides an easy way to natively enforce API limits in your DreamFactory instance.
- Added support for Apple Push Notification Service, aka APNs (this feature is a commercial DreamFactory feature not available in the open source product). You can now easily set up DreamFactory as a push notification provider for your iOS mobile apps. Learn more about DreamFactory's support for APNs in the docs here.
- Added support for Google Cloud Messaging, aka GCM (this feature is a commercial DreamFactory feature not available in the open source product). You can now easily set up DreamFactory as a push notification provider for your Android mobile apps. Learn more about DreamFactory's support for GCM in the docs here.
- Upgraded to latest AWS SDK. DreamFactory API now uses latest internal filtering for Amazon DynamoDB.
- Fixed several issues with Apache Cassandra from initial beta release.
- Changed database error message, particularly with batch requests, to be consistent across services.
- Fixed Active Directory login issue with accented characters in user names.
- API handles any outer wrapper on incoming XML, not just 'dfapi', as there is no need to restrict.

- Miscellaneous enhancements and bug fixes
