Key Features
- Enhanced Help Access: Streamlined access to context-specific help content within the system events and job scheduling dashboard tabs for easier navigation and support.
- Remote Table Data Management: Ability to insert, update, and delete data in external data sources via remote tables, facilitating better integration and data synchronization. Customizable script definitions support these operations.
- Guarded Script Evaluator: Improved instance security for sandbox scripts by restricting JavaScript features and APIs for untrusted client-generated scripts. New enforcement policies reject incompatible scripts by default from guest users and implement phased enforcement for authenticated users. Incompatible scripts are logged for review and remediation.
- Dynamic Attributes in Dynamic Categories: Add individual or grouped dynamic attributes to dynamic categories, and build dependencies between dynamic attribute store fields and attributes or attribute lists.
- Updated Access Control Lists (ACLs): Security enhancements for Transaction Management and Session Management tables via updates to ACLs using a combination of Deny and Allow rules, requiring a security attribute for role assignment to ACLs.
- TinyMCE HTML Editor Accessibility Checker: The a11ychecker plugin now identifies WCAG and Section 508 accessibility issues and provides auto-repair options, configurable through TinyMCE plugin settings.
- Configurable Workspace Field Support: Expanded support for additional field types in configurable workspaces, including Documentationfield, Domainpath, HTMLScript, Long, Longint, multismall, Order index, and Radio fields.
- REST API Access Policy Enhancements: Ability to specify which tables a Table REST API access policy applies to directly on the API Access Policy form.
- FX Currency Field Improvements: Use of three-digit ISO 4217 numeric currency codes with FX Currency field types for standardized currency handling.
- Session Language Sorting: Configure string column sorting to respect the user's session language rather than defaulting to English, improving localization support.
- Columnstore Index Type: Support for creating columnstore indexes with RaptorDB Professional to optimize data storage and retrieval performance.

New in the Yokohama release
- Enhance instance security for sandbox scripts with guarded script
- The guarded script evaluator restricts the JavaScript features and APIs available to untrusted, client-generated scripts running in the script sandbox environment. Beginning with the Yokohama Patch 13 release, incompatible scripts sent to the server by guest users are rejected on all instances by default. Scripts sent by authenticated users are evaluated using a phased approach to enforcement that varies by the type of instance to provide time to detect and review incompatible scripts before rejecting them. Scripts that use unsupported features are recorded in the Incompatible Guarded Scripts list, where you can rewrite them or create exemptions for scripts that can't be rewritten.
- Add dynamic attributes to a dynamic category
- Add individual attributes or a group of attributes to a dynamic category.
- Reference a dynamic attribute or a list of dynamic attributes
- Build a dependency between a dynamic attribute store field and either a dynamic attribute or a list of dynamic attributes.
- Edit data in remote tables on an instance
- Insert, update, and delete data in an external data source from a remote table on an instance when you enable editing for the table. Customize the script definitions that enable you to insert, update, or delete data from a remote table.
Changed in this release
- Updated Access Control Lists (ACLs) for Transaction tables and Session Management tables
- The ACLs for a number of Transaction Management tables and Session Management tables have been updated to enhance security using a combination of Deny and Allow ACLs. All new ACLs have a security attribute. You must have the

- syslog
- syslog_ajax

The updated Session Management tables include:- sys_audit
- sys_security_acl
- sys_user_auth

- Configuring plugins for the TinyMCE HTML editor

The plugin identifies WCAG and Section 508 accessibility violations and provides an auto-repair feature where applicable. To configure the plugin, see Change the TinyMCE HTML editor plugins. Additional configurations to the accessibility rules, like changing the WCAG level and HTML versions can also be done via TinyMCEconfigscript script.

- HTML_Script
- Long
- Longint
- multi_small

- Specify the tables that a Table REST API access policy applies to on the API Access Policy form.
- Use ISO currency codes with the FX Currency field type
- Use three-digit ISO 4217 currency codes from the Numeric code field on the Currency [fx_currency] table with fields of the FX Currency field type.
- Sorting according to the session language
- Configure whether string values in columns are sorted according to the user's session language or English.
