• External Changelog is activated with Replication to search and retrieve data updates
• Fractional Replication, to specify which attributes to include or exclude in replication

• Support for custom syntaxes based on substitutions, regular expressions or enumerations
• Remote server management in the Control Panel
• Improved replication management and grouping, tested with up to 8 masters
