Server Upgrade and Migration

• The primary server has been upgraded with more and faster CPU cores, more RAM and more and faster storage.
• Special thanks to FrontierNav's sponsors for making this possible!
• If you would like to also help improve FrontierNav, consider supporting the project via Patreon.

CSV Import

• Added support for matching "TRUE"/"FALSE" boolean values in CSVs generated by spreadsheet software.
• Object matchers now use deep object equality instead of string equality.
• Value templates which use empty values are now ignored instead of rendering empty strings.
  • For example:
    • Given:
      • A String setter using a template "${Price}G", where "Price" is a CSV column of numbers.
      • A matching row which has no "Price" value set.
    • Previously, an import would set "G" as the value for the matching entity.
    • Now, an import will not set a value.

Changes Import

• Added support for importing a JSON array of changes.

Data Validation

• String and Number properties are now validated.
  • Data validation ensures invalid data is not merged and published.
• Validation logs now use JSON lines format instead of abritrary message strings.

Authentication

• Fixed account creation silently failing when an OAuth-provided name is longer than the display name character limit.
  • Names are now trimmed to fit within the character limit.

User Interface

• API requests are now cached for an hour by the app.
  • Previously, caching relied exclusively on the web browser's cache behaviour, but this wasn't reliable.

Thanks for reading.
