Changelog

Recent Sync Server releases

Version numbers refer to the Docker images and are in the format "YYYY-MM-DD". This changelog covers releases since May 2025.

2025-08-02: Filter expression string value improvements

• Sync filter expression improvements for string values: allow single quotes in addition to double quotes, allow escapes using the \ character.

2025-08-01: Sync filters and user-specific sync (beta)

• Sync filters: configure expressions for the Sync Server to filter objects that are to by synced.

• User-specific sync: sync filter expression can use user-specific variables and thus enable user-specific sync. This is a major feature that allows clients to sync only partial (individual) data.
