Changelog

What's new in FM Dojo

v0.9.7

  • ◆AI Chat: verified edge-case answers for FileMaker calculation functions — the AI now answers argument edge-case questions from test results run against a real FileMaker instance, not from general knowledge
    • ▸Three-tier answer policy: confirmed test result first, documented rule second, "not confirmed" if neither applies
    • ▸Covers 190 edge cases across 24 functions: negative values, zero, decimals, empty inputs, out-of-range, type coercion
    • ▸Answers that come from verified testing are explicitly cited as such; unconfirmed behavior is flagged rather than assumed
  • ◆FM Servers: PKI client-certificate authentication — add a FileMaker Server using a client certificate and private key instead of username/password when your server requires mutual TLS
  • ◆Voice dictation — click the microphone button (bottom-right of any page) to dictate into any text field; powered by OpenAI Whisper

v0.9.6

  • ◆AI Chat: structured argument-behavior catalog for FileMaker calculation functions — the AI now knows exact type constraints, valid ranges, and edge-case rules for each argument of 26 commonly used functions
    • ▸Covers Date, Time, Timestamp, Left, Right, Middle, Position, Replace, Char, GetValue, Abs, Ceiling, Floor, Int, Mod, Round, Truncate, Sqrt, Log, Ln, Average, Sum, Count, Choose, GetNthRecord, GetRepetition
    • ▸Catches invalid inputs — like a negative Sqrt argument or a zero Mod divisor — before writing calculations
    • ▸Calendar overflow behavior (e.g. Date month 13 → January next year) is documented precisely

v0.9.5

  • ◆Snapshots: no upload size limit — large XML files (120 MB+) are automatically split into chunks and reassembled on the server; no more rejection errors for big databases
    • ▸Upload progress bar shows parts sent and percentage complete
    • ▸Files over 35 MB show an advisory: processing may take up to a minute
  • ◆Snapshots: multi-file upload and stitch — drop multiple Save a Copy as XML files in one batch and combine them into a single merged snapshot
    • ▸Each file shows its own status row with a progress bar
    • ▸After all files upload, choose "Combine all into one snapshot" or keep them as separate entries
    • ▸Merged snapshot deduplicates tables, TOs, relationships, layouts, scripts, and value lists by name
  • ◆FMS Admin: expanded system log sources — read OS-level logs alongside FM Server logs
    • ▸journalctl — stream the full systemd journal; filter by any service unit name (Linux SSH)
    • ▸Kernel log — kernel ring buffer via journalctl -k; shows OOM kills, disk errors, driver issues (Linux SSH)
    • ▸Syslog — OS system log via /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, or journalctl fallback (Linux/macOS SSH)
    • ▸Auth log — SSH and PAM authentication records from /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure (Linux SSH)
    • ▸Windows Application / System Event Log via WinRM (Windows)
    • ▸Cloud account SSH linking — link Azure cloud account to a FileMaker Server for automatic SSH authentication; no manual credentials required
  • ◆FMS Admin: server watchdog alerts — get notified when FM Server goes down, the OS OOM killer fires, or disk I/O errors appear
    • ▸Service down: detects when the FM Server process is not running (SSH on Linux/macOS, WinRM on Windows)
    • ▸OOM kill: detects out-of-memory kill events in the kernel journal within the last 20 minutes
    • ▸Disk I/O errors: detects hardware/filesystem errors in the kernel journal within the last 20 minutes

v0.9.4

  • ◆GitLab integration — connect a GitLab account via Personal Access Token and push snapshots as atomic commits
    • ▸Pick any project the token has access to from a dropdown
    • ▸Branch and path saved per connection; multiple accounts supported
    • ▸Default account promoted automatically when one is removed
  • ◆Cloud account SSH linking — link an AWS, GCP or Linode cloud account to a FileMaker Server for automatic SSH authentication; no manual credentials required
  • ◆Fixes for chat for token usage and response presentation

v0.9.3

  • ◆FMS Admin (Beta) — new features
    • ▸Command Library: browse, configure, and run FileMaker Server commands over SSH — searchable with type-ahead, option chips, and config flag reference

    • ▸OttoFMS XML sync — pick a FileMaker database, add tracked files, and schedule automatic syncs
    • ▸Server monitoring alerts: configure disk usage threshold and backup failure detection; notifies via Discord webhook and/or email on a configurable cooldown
    • ▸Backups tab: browse all .fmp12 backup files on the server; restore any backup in one click — closes the live database, copies the backup over it, and reopens it
    • ▸Per-database action menu — open, close, pause, resume, remove, verify integrity, and download from a single menu per file row
    • ▸Consistency check on open — databases opened from the Files tab run a consistency check by default (toggle in toolbar)
  • ◆Design (Beta) — visually configure FileMaker layout elements and export them as ready-to-paste XML
    • ▸Buttons, button bars, tab controls, slide controls, popovers, edit fields, portals, web viewers, shapes, and more

    • ▸Copy as FileMaker XML to paste objects directly into FileMaker layouts
