|---|---|
| NEW | MarvelClient now has Restrict functionality available for the Nomad Web platform, for customers with a valid Realtime license. This allows you to prevent Nomad Web users from accessing, replicating, or deleting specific databases either locally or on a server.

| NEW | Select MarvelClient actions can now run in the background after the client has started. |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where the Web Migration action stopped working on Chrome/Edge browsers version 102.xx and higher, due to a breaking change in those browsers. |
