• Fix bug of Data failed to initialize because of Snowflake ID initialization.

Breaking changes

Docker image piiano/pvault-lite is still available, but new versions will be pushed to piiano/pvault-server for this version onwards.

Known issues and limitations

• Queries can match properties only in their base form (properties without transformations, such as ssn.mask).
• Some REST API calls do not receive error messages. However, these error messages are printed on the server-side. To view these error messages, use STDOUT or STDERR in Docker. See the Docker article View logs for a container or service for more information on accessing these logs.
• The maximum length of the property name and description is 450 characters.
• The maximum length of the value in encrypted and unencrypted string-based properties, including properties using PTypes for email address, SSN, and bank account number, is limited to 450 characters.
• Encrypted arrays and arrays with mixed elements do not work as expected.
• Large int64 values may lose their precision.
• TTL of an object does not affect owned objects, and those may outlive their owner.
• Deletion of a collection will hard-delete its objects.
• No pagination for tokens APIs: Get tokens metadata, Detokenization.
• No pagination for "Get objects by IDs" API. When requesting a number of objects which exceeds the page size (see above), an error is returned.
