Realm Object Server 1.8.1 Release notes

Public

• Updated sync to 1.10.0 and node-server-sdk 1.8.1
• Add a REST API which allows admins to lookup user IDs by their account's provider_id.
• Issue deterministic user IDs for debug authentication provider.
• Don't limit user ID format to hexadecimal characters.
• Options to monitor for user realms, exact paths or regexps in functions
• Hash passwords faster and asynchronously.

Bugfixes

• Fix crash on empty realmURL on PermissionOffer.
• Fixed issues where stats was sometimes not showing on the dashboard.
• Requests from the dashboard that fails due to network errors will poll the
  /api/info route and retry the original request before resolving or rejecting.
• An unauthenticated user of the dashboard gets redirected to the '/login' page.
• The dashboard now responds more predictable when the user presses navigates
  the browsers history (ie. presses backspace or the browsers back button).
• Always hash passwords, even if the user doesn't exist to prevent leaking this
  info via significant different response times.

Breaking changes

• None.

Enhancements

• The title and code of the error response when creating a dashboard user fails.
  https://github.com/realm/realm-object-server/pull/1204. So if the client is
  relying on a code 400 to be returned when user creation fails, they should
  expect a code 613 (http status is still 400) and an error with the title
  "The account cannot be registered as it exists already.”

RMP 1.5.0 Release

Important:

The format has changed for Realm files on the server side due to the
introduction of server-side Realm states. This means that all
server-side files need to be migrated. Migration is performed
automatically by the new version of the server, when it is
started. The server will not start servicing clients until migration
is completed. Expect that the server needs about 5 minutes of
migration time per gigabyte of each Realm file.

Changes:

Object Server 1.5.0

• Use realm-sync 1.8.3.
• Realm states are now available in server-side Realm files, and this
  is used to improve validation of incoming changesets. This is also
  expected to server as a foundation for various planned features.
• Certain parts of the history (reciprocal histories) in server-side
  Realm files are now trimmed. This means that the server-side files
  will grow less rapidly. This will not cause preexisting files to
  shrink, because trimming can only take place as clients resume
  synchronization. However, for new Realm files, it means that they
  will grow less rapidly, and for existing Realm files, it means that
  space will be freed up as clients resume synchronization, and that
  will curb additional growth. In some cases, the lack of trimming
  would cause a Realm file to be more than 10 times the size that
  would have had with trimming in place.
• Sync workers now report protocol version usage to statsd.

Migration

The format has changed for Realm files on the server side due to the
introduction of server-side Realm states. This means that all
server-side files need to be migrated. Migration is performed
automatically by the new version of the server, when it is
started. The server will not start servicing clients until migration
is completed. Expect that the server needs about 5 minutes of
migration time per gigabyte of each Realm file.

You can get information about the progress of migration by inspecting
the log file. Here is an example of the relevant log file entries:

2017-05-09T14:41:56.104Z - info: sync-server: Migration required
2017-05-09T14:41:56.104Z - info: sync-server: Found 5 Realm files in /var/lib/realm/object-server/0/user_data
2017-05-09T14:41:56.104Z - info: sync-server: Migrating 1cfbe17dd3f069b936570c3d9483859b/__permission.realm (1/5)
2017-05-09T14:41:56.104Z - info: sync-server: Migrating 1cfbe17dd3f069b936570c3d9483859b/realmtasks.realm (2/5)

2017-05-09T14:41:56.105Z - info: sync-server: Migrating __permission.realm (5/5)
2017-05-09T14:41:56.105Z - info: sync-server: Migration completed successfully

If you have an enterprise deployment, you will receive an email with
upgrade instructions that take continuous backup into account.

Node Server SDK 1.5.0

• Based on realm-js 1.2.0
• Uses realm-core 1.6.2
• Files written by Realm this version cannot be read by earlier versions of Realm. Old files can still be opened and files open in read-only mode will not be modified.
• The setVerifyServersSslCertificate method has been deleted
• The SyncConfig now gets two more optional parameters, validate_ssl and ssl_trust_certificate_path.

Realm-Cocoa 2.7.0

• Use reachability API to minimize the reconnection delay if the network
  connection was lost.
• Add -[RLMSyncUser changePassword:completion:] API to change the current
  user's password if using Realm's 'password' authentication provider.
  Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.4.0 or later.
• {RLM}SyncConfiguration now has an enableSSLValidation property
  (and default parameter in the Swift initializer) to allow SSL validation
  to be specified on a per-server basis.
• Transactions between a synced Realm and a Realm Object Server can now
  exceed 16 MB in size.
• Add new APIs for changing and retrieving permissions for synchronized Realms.
  These APIs are intended to replace the existing Realm Object-based permissions
  system. Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.1.0 or later.
• Support Realm model classes defined in Swift with overridden Objective-C
  names (e.g. @objc(Foo) class SwiftFoo: Object {}).
• Fix -[RLMMigration enumerateObjects:block:] returning incorrect oldObject
  objects when enumerating a class name after previously deleting a newObject.
• Fix an issue where Realm.asyncOpen(...) would fail to work when opening a
  synchronized Realm for which the user only had read permissions.
• Using KVC to set a List property to nil now clears it to match the
  behavior of RLMArray properties.
• Fix crash from !m_awaiting_pong assertion failure when using synced Realms.
• Fix poor performance or hangs when performing case-insensitive queries on
  indexed string properties that contain many characters that don't differ
  between upper and lower case (e.g., numbers, punctuation).
