"What's New?" is a series of blog posts covering recent changes to Comet in more detail. This article covers the latest changes in Comet Voyager between December 2023 and January 2024.
There were nine Comet software releases between December 2023 and January 2024 - five in our 23.12.x Voyager release series and four point releases for our 23.12.x Saturn quarterly series.
Over the past nine releases we have released close to 20 bug fixes based on your feedback and our own internal quality standards. We are proud of the hard work the team has put in to make our latest versions of Saturn and Voyager our best releases yet.
Easier user creation in the Comet Server web interface
We've enhanced the way admins can create new users from the Comet Server web interface by allowing users to be created in any tenant. Previously this functionality was only available using the Comet Server API so it is great to be able to provide this functionality for all users.
It is also easier to add multiple users at once in the Comet Server as we've made the add multiple users workflow always visible. Previously this was hidden behind our advanced options settings system which made it harder to discover.
Tenant Visibility on the Users Page
On Comet Servers with more than one tenant configured, it was hard to see what user belonged to what tenant from the Users page. You could see that the user belonged to a tenant, but you could not tell which one.
Now on the users page you can see what tenant a user belongs to right from the page. This is a massive quality of life improvement for admin users.
Along with this improvement we have also made it possible to search for users by tenant name.
VMware Improvements
In November we launched our VMware Protected Item and over the past two months we've been hard at work to improve it based on your feedback, including improved performance, compatibility, and correctness.
The latest versions of Saturn and Voyager are up to date with our latest improvements and we've seen great uptake of the new feature.
Java SDK
You can now natively integrate with a Comet Server from a Java application with our new SDK. You can check it out at our public GitHub here.
