Zumero for SQL Server v2.3 - Release Notes

Zumero for SQL Server (ZSS) v2.3 is now available for download in the dev center.

Improvements and fixes in ZSS 2.3

  • Version 2.3 adds “Sync Details” to the client SDK. After a sync, your client code can receive a list of rows that were added, deleted or modified. See the ZSS Client API documentation for more information.
  • Zumero’s PhoneGap support now supports the latest Cordova/PhoneGap releases as well as the latest Cordova/iOS platform. The SQLite wrapper used by Zumero has been updated as well.
  • If the client connection is dropped, the ZSS Server stops processing the now-disconnected sync.
  • Renaming an unsynchronized column in a sychronized table no longer causes sync errors.
  • Stability and performance fixes in ZSS Server, particularly related to filtered tables.
