FairCom enables applications to authorize JSON actions without the need for a username/password or client certificate using the permanentSession property. While it is slightly less secure, it allows many servers to use the same authToken (API key) to simplify session management.

You can now specify that DB Notify messages contain a whole record buffer instead of individual fields. This allows you to track changes to files that do not have field definitions or table names. Additionally, you can now use a pathname to specify non-SQL files that you want to track.
