SECURITY PATCHES
Medium: An issue involving XSS on the new upload dialog has been fixed. This issue occurs on 6.2.x versions only.
NEW AND IMPROVED FUNCTIONS
Improved new upload screen
We’ve revised new upload screen UI to make it easier to use.
The droppable area will be wide
The area that accepts a dropped file was changed to the entire screen or the entire area of the modal dialog. The droppable area that displayed on the upload screen has been removed by this change. The droppable area will appear if you drag files.
The waiting files are always displayed on top of the list
The order of upload file list was changed. This change make it possible to cancel uploading easily.
Data API v3
Internal version of the API will be 3.1. The endpoint version is still “/v3/”.
New endpoint to get the API version
Added a new endpoint to get the API version that returns endpoint version and internal API version. Your application can judge API version after launching.
- ENDPOINT

- PARAMETERS

- RESULT
{ "endpointVersion": "v3", "apiVersion": "3.1" }- endpointVersion
- The major version of API that used in the endpoint URI.

From this version, it will be able to perform the get and set in a format depending on the option.
