  • BUGFIX: In the Files section, even if you didn't have permission to upload a file, you could still bring up the File Upload dialog box (but the upload would fail).
  • BUGFIX: If a user knew the URL for a database table, they could view it even if they didn't have permission to do so.
  • BUGFIX: Our new DNS server was not answering CNAME queries with appropriate A records. This prevented status.groups.io from resolving.
