  • Breaking: Change data storage format on S3, SFTP, and Comet storage types to exactly match the Local Copy storage type. This simplifies seed-load procedures, and paves the way for future non-local storage in the Comet server itself. All Comet Server and SFTP data will be automatically migrated upon first use of the Storage Vault from any new software version. S3 data must be manually migrated. Migration only entails renaming certain folders.

  • Documentation: Significantly expand documentation

New Features

  • Windows install package for the Comet Server
