New in Platform Server 11.7.0

• It is now possible to consume REST APIs using Swagger specifications that have enum elements. (RSBO-872)
• Added support for accent-sensitive Linguistic sorts on Oracle databases. (RSAT-1844)
• You can now distribute your app as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Start by enabling this early access feature in LifeTime. Then, create a mobile or tablet app, publish it, navigate to the "Distribute" tab and toggle on "Distribute as the PWA" (no republish needed). You can try your PWA out by installing it through Android Chrome and iOS Safari. The early access PWA documentation explains how to enable PWA on iOS 13, as well as how to edit the manifest. Check also the blog post. Have fun and share your feedback with us on the forum! (RTAF-1831)
