Save your attachments locally or to a cloud

Other notable enhancements include...
- DataSync Agent will only run with Java 11 and greater. Java 16 is also now supported!
- A DataSync Agent can only point to a single database across all its tasks. This is to prevent issues with data from one Agent being saved to multiple targets
- All tasks must have a unique queue. That is, no queue can be used in more than one task. This is to prevent race conditions that lead to a discrepancy of data

Release Names and Packaging
The releases name are in the format of <Major>.<Minor/Patch>.<Hotfix>. The contents of a release package are based on the name and are as follows:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| Major | Version of the software that contains significant new features, enhancements, and/or improvements in the user interface (UI) or user experience (UX). Perspectium's release name follows the chemical elements (e.g. Iodine) and are released alphabetically. For example, Iodine 7.0.0 is the major release following Helium. |
| Minor/Patch | A set of changes that contains updates, bug fixes, and/or improvements on the product. This release version can be installed by itself without a major release. (e.g. Iodine 7.1.0) |
| Hotfix | A set of changes that addresses a specific issue. This release version cannot be installed by itself, it will need to be uploaded on top of a major or patch release. Starting with Helium, hotfixes are cumulative so hotfix 2 will contain fixes in hotfix 1. (e.g. Iodine 7.0.1 also known as Iodine Hotfix 1) |
Release Compatibility
Perspectium tests n-2 compatibility with each release e.g. the previous two major releases of the Agent prior to this release has been tested with the latest version of the ServiceNow application.
