Changelog
September 2023
| Item | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Client Libraries | Updated C and C++ Client Libraries to work with Debian 12 (bookworm) to support Debian OS 12 builds |
| 2 | Dashboard | • Enabled traditional wildcard table searching of Security History and Events pages • When downloading large CSV reports, a warning is displayed if there are more than 100k rows in the data being downloaded • For reports, added the ability to add or remove columns, customize columns and have them persist so that users can find the data they're looking for with fewer clicks • Improved tree selectors for Datasets and Dataset Groups to make it more clear which trees are showing • Added Dataset and Dataset Group to Events log details screen |
| 3 | Documentation | Added EncryptForSearch Examples for C, C++, Node.js, and Java Client Libraries |
| 4 | Platform | • Improvements to ensure that if Data Keys have rolled over for Structured Datasets, then the API returns all Keys to insure that any EncryptForSearch keys include only the relevant ones that have been used (or all Keys if they've rotated back to key rotation #1) • Various security, availability, resilience, health-check monitoring, logging, reporting and performance enhancements |
August 2023
| Item | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Client Libraries | • Improved testing and performance benchmark availability by codifying load tests that run automatically at .NET Client Library update build times • Reduced dead code and improved community .NET Client Library examples • Added EncryptForSearch cability to the .NET Client Library – Allows .NET Library users to get possible ciphertext values for a structured dataset value to assist in doing database-type searching |
| 2 | Dashboard | • Added the ability for users to view what the most recent Client Library to be used by an API Key is, and will get notified in the UI if that version is current, out of date or deprecated • Added the ability for a user to delete a Primary Key that is no longer associated to any datasets • Improved User experience to avoid confusion when downloading table data to CSV if the result set is empty • Added the ability for users to add several API key IP allowed entries/values (support for multiple CIDR ranges when IP-restricting) • Added the ability for users to rename Primary Keys • Added Datasets to the Events table – allows users to see what dataset an event was related to • Improved UX error handling during Primary Key deletion • Updated confirmations when deleting a Dataset or Dataset Group to avoid accidental deletions • Added last accessed and warnings to API Keys table so users can see when an API key was most recently used and is prompted to improve security by taking action on stale API keys |
| 3 | Documentation | Simplified and cleaned-up community samples for the Ubiq C Client Library |
| 4 | Platform | Various security, availability, resilience, health-check monitoring, logging, reporting and performance enhancements |
July 2023
| Item | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Client Libraries | • Added support for Snowflake on AWS • Added EncryptForSearch capabilities for Python, C and C++ Client Libraries to allow users to retrieve ciphertext values for structured Dataset values to assist in doing database-type searching • Improvements to allow the C Client Library to be run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) |
| 2 | Dashboard | • Added the ability for users to view usage by Dataset and Dataset Group on the Dashboard chart (Client Libraries version 2.0+) • Added the ability to collapse the left-side Dashboard menu • Added the ability for users to edit API Key permissions. Previously, a user would need to first delete and recreate an API key if they wanted to change permissions (encrypt vs decrypt); now it can be done on an existing API key, saving time • Improved the user interface to avoid confusion while selecting options from dropdown lists (for example: changing a Dataset Algorithm) to indicate, and not allow, selection of a currently-selected option • Added visibility to display expired keys, and indicate when they will expire. Previously, expired keys were not shown which led to confusion while trying to rename a key that conflicted with an expired one (renaming wouldn't be allowed on expired keys, but the expired key(s) would not be shown to indicate why) |
| 3 | Documentation | • Added a Snowflake Integration Overview and updated the Snowflake Integration documentation to support AWS integration • Added a Key Encryption Key (KEK) section to the Concepts document |
| 4 | Platform | Various security, availability, resilience, health-check monitoring, logging, reporting and performance enhancements |

Datasets can be configured as two types – "Structured" (e.g., data stored in a database) and "Unstructured" (e.g., files stored in file storage). Given an application could have multiple data elements and data types to encrypt, Datasets provide a more logical and flexible representation of each |
