API

• Do more with less round-trips. Our Transaction API endpoint can now not only insert, update and delete, but also get data by ID. An example looks like this:

{
  "operations": [
    {"insert": {"table": "items", "record": {"id": "new-0", "name": "feed the fish"}, "createOnly": true}},
    {"update": {"table": "items", "id": "new-0", "fields": {"name": "feed the goldfish"}, "ifVersion": 0}},
    {"get": {"table": "items", "id": "new-0", "columns": ["id","name"]}},
    {"delete": {"table": "items", "id": "new-0"}}
  ]
}

UI

• The “Get Code snippet” dialog is now a lot more helpful to Windows users as we’ve added support for PowerShell and cmd 🎉

• Continuing our theme of quality of life improvements:
  • Allow copy pasting of null cell values, because “nulls” are important to developers.
  • Improvements in the filtering inputs.
  • Fixed a bug where editing emails and numbers was sometimes moving the cursor at the end
