Apps open databases on low-memory devices
iPhone, iPad
Opening a database for the first time on a device with low memory causes the iPhone and iPad app to crash.
Displaying relevant releases only
Private Cloud and On-Premises
In user management, view previous releases that are relevant for your setup.
Previously, release versions and dates that only applied to Public Cloud were also shown for Private Cloud and On-Premises.
Records APIs respect admin user role permissions
Private Cloud
APIs now make use of the user role permissions to show data.
If a table is protected by admin-only access, a user trying to call a records endpoint needs to be an admin for that table, so that the APIs return data.
Otherwise, no data is shown when that user calls a records endpoint in order to protect the table's contents.
Team owners: Make sure to assign the admin role to collaborators working with APIs if your table data is protected by admin permissions.
A table with admin permissions to read, write, create new records, and delete records
Admin role assigned to user by owner
GET retrieves files with special characters in file name
GET endpoint can now retrieve a single file when the file name contains any special characters.
Previously, GET was returning an Internal Server Error contained special characters like ę.
http  function with POST properly sends XML
http function with POST sends XML as text/xml.
Previously, the function was stringifying XML, i.e., sending it as text/plain instead.
sendEmail() properly sends attachments
sendEmail() function successfully sends attachments in triggers and do as server statements.
Previously, when used in triggers, the function would not send attachments at all.
Also, when used in a do as server statement the function caused the app to crash and return a Server not responding error message.
Fields fixed
Appointment field
The field now keeps the previously entered time interval.
Previously, when a time interval is entered in an Appointment field that is not 1 hour and that field's date was later updated, the field changed the time interval to 1 hour.
Radio reference field
When using the Radio field, the UI now updates accordingly.
Image field
Videos can be successfully uploaded to the Image field.

Redesigned features for the mobile app on iOS and Android
We've redesigned the Ninox mobile app to automatically appear in its optimized form on all devices.
When starting the Ninox 3.5.0 app on your mobile device for the first time, you will be asked whether you want to use the classic or new look. Tap the New button to try out the new design.

The Ninox mobile app automatically reformats the view for all screen sizes so you can easily interact with Ninox no matter whether you're using an iPhone, iPad, or an Android phone or tablet.‌
New design for the following features for iOS and Android:
Seamlessly log in and out of the mobile app
View your team workspace from the main screen
Interact with the script editor, e.g., add new functions
Create different types of views
Switch between your views
Share views and files
Import files
Mark a table Hidden to hide sensitive data from view
Specify Readable if, and Writable if for fields
Set up Binding and Tooltip for fields
Add a Field, Formula, Layout element, Link to, Link from, and Sub-table from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen
Add View and Chart via Layout element​
Transactional scripts
A new construct do as transaction added to Ninox script
Behaves in the same way as do as server
Allows a set of code to run within the context of a transaction
On mobile apps, do as transaction executes on the client and thus allows for offline-capable transactions
Run the script within transactions to achieve faster execution and higher consistency
Either apply changes upon successful completion or discard changes if any of the code in the wrapped script fails
Smart caching
Improves the consequent loading time of table views and execution of select queries
Option to restart teams
Restart teams if they are slow due to a long-running script on the server
Fixed bugs
File upload endpoints accept tableName in URL
File upload endpoints and all other endpoints now accept tableName in addition to tableId in the URL

Trigger after update for memory-bound fields
Trigger after update now works for memory-bound fields, i.e., both Global variable in memory as well as Per record in memory

urlOf() function in Trigger after update
The urlOf() function used in Trigger after update now returns a valid link with a correct database ID

databaseId() function in Triggers
The databaseId() function used in Triggers now returns the correct database ID instead of random integers

Selection in Date field and calendar pop-up functionality
The date in the Date field can now be selected and the calendar pop-up remains visible

Dynamic choice fields show 0 (zero) value
Dynamic choice fields (Single and Multiple) now support absolute 0 (zero) values
Instead of record IDs, 0 can be selected in Dynamic choice fields

shareFile() function in Triggers
When using the shareFile() function in Triggers, some fields were either loading or not returning any values
This error has been addressed and the shareFile() function now returns correct values when used in Triggers
