The main goal of this release was to enhance our Archiving experience by indexing metadata directly in CREE8, rather than relying on S3 APIs. We now support:
Project and folder size updates every 5 minutes
Search functionality across archived data
In addition, we released the MVP of the Transfer Monitor, which will eventually become the source of truth for all actions (Archive, Retrieves, Copy, Move) for now and eventually (Download, upload) as well
We've made significant improvements to our subscription to better support custom plans and flexible billing:
Support for custom subscription plans with tailored configurations
Ability to apply line-item level discounts for granular pricing flexibility
