Here's what's new:

Version 2.6 release notes

  • API improvements
    • Added support for Firebird SQL database. Simply connect to your Firebird database in the DreamFactory admin console and DreamFactory automatically generates a REST API for Firebird data and schema.
    • Added support for endpoint-level API limits and HTTP verb-specific limits to DreamFactory Gold. This provides granular control over API limits in your DreamFactory instance.
    • Added option to use Redis cache for API limits in DreamFactory Gold.
    • Added support for "upsert" on database services, where supported (using PUT verb).
    • Fixed inconsistent behavior for selected fields and related data in SQL database services.
    • Updated Cassandra service to better handle native types such as UUID and timestamps.
    • Added ability for HTTP services to detect and replace external links in response when resolved to other DreamFactory service URIs.
  • Miscellaneous enhancements and bug fixes
    • Added support for username authentication. Email is still the default but now you can set username authentication with an environment configuration option.
    • Added option to send email invitation to newly created Admin users.
    • Fixed JWT token refresh and forever token refresh issue.
    • Fixed issues with resource-level role-based access control in API docs.
    • Fixed PUT section on API docs for system/{resource} and system/{resource}/{id}.
    • Fixed scripting response handling with single quotes, particularly in Python.
    • Fixed scripting execution for Node.js exceptions.
    • Fixed scripting handling of file upload.
