This is the most heavily worked on release in a very, very long time, and its most important feature is that Magic now takes care of foreign keys during scaffolding frontends. This implies that instead of simply displaying an int where you have keys pointing into other tables, Magic will create an auto completer, or a select drop down list, allowing the user to select a record from the other table, resulting in obviously a much more user friendly UI and UX.

To test this, you can try the following app, that was 100% automatically generated, and not hand modified at all after it was generated

Below is a screenshot of how this looks like when you have such a foreign key, during creating a new item.

Referential integrity in Magic Cloud

In addition, hundreds of other issues, particularly related to the scaffolded frontend UI have been fixed, and dozens of smaller bugs in the backend and dashboard. This is the largest and most heavily tested release of Magic Cloud for a very, very, very long time. I hope you enjoy it :)
