We want to be upfront with you about what this release is, because it is not a typical point release.

V8.0.0 was a backend story: a rebuilt HA subsystem, containerization, OIDC, i18n, ACID transactions. Dense, foundational, deliberately non-glamorous. We shipped it, and we shipped it clean. What we held back, intentionally, was something that deserved its own release and its own announcement: a complete ground-up redesign of every user interface in the product.

What’s changed?

• All-new SuperAdmin UI. Not a refresh or a polish pass. A complete redesign, built from scratch with a clean design language, consistent information architecture, and a substantially reduced learning curve for new administrators.

• All-new Admin UI. Same philosophy. Every screen reconsidered, every workflow examined for friction and redesigned. If you have been using the Admin UI for years, expect to be surprised. In a good way.

• All-new WebClient! UI. Rebuilt from the ground up to be faster, cleaner, and immediately intuitive to end users who have never touched a file transfer product before.

• Accessibility as a first-class requirement. This is the main reason these UIs had to be rebuilt rather than revised. Our customer base has grown to include government entities and large regulated enterprises for whom accessibility compliance is not optional, it is legally mandated. Bolt-on accessibility does not work, and we refuse to ship it. The only path to genuine WCAG compliance was a clean start, so that is what we did.

• UX, reconsidered entirely. Five years of incremental additions had left our previous interfaces carrying debt we could no longer responsibly ignore. The new UIs are not just more accessible, they are more consistent, more predictable, and frankly more pleasant to use on an every-day basis.

• Mobile friendliness as a non-negotiable requirement. All of our UIs are now designed and optimized to be usable on (and auto-adapt to) desktop as well as mobile devices. We call this approach “desktop-first, mobile-excellent”.

• The usual collection of bug fixes, because no release ships without us having hunted down everything we could find.

Please make sure you read the upgrade instructions carefully. As always, you can download the most recent release from our website.

Here’s what’s new.

What’s changed?

• Containerization support. For the first time in Syncplify Server!’s history, you can run it in Docker, Kubernetes, Portainer, or any OCI-compatible container runtime. This has been one of the most requested capabilities over the years, and V8 delivers it properly.

• All-new High Availability subsystem. The HA architecture has been rewritten from the ground up. Performance and resilience are orders of magnitude ahead of any previous HA implementation, and for the first time the product ships with a full, genuinely elegant observability stack so you can actually see what your cluster is doing.

• OIDC support with app-passwords. Full OpenID Connect integration, with individual configurations per Virtual Site (SuperAdmin, Admin, and User tiers each have their own settings). App-passwords ensure that legacy protocol clients continue to work seamlessly alongside modern SSO flows.

• Internationalization (i18n). A genuinely large effort, and one we’re particularly proud of. V8 ships with full UI localization in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with more languages on the way.

• Custom HTTP headers. You can now define custom HTTP response headers for the Admin UI, SuperAdmin UI, and WebClient! UI independently, giving you fine-grained control over security posture and compliance requirements.

• Backed by SyngoDB with true ACID transactions and compound indices. The underlying database engine has been significantly upgraded, bringing true multi-document ACID transactions and compound index support that underpins the reliability of everything built on top of it.

• Improved visuals and UX across all interfaces. Every UI in the product, Setup, SuperAdmin, Admin, and WebClient!, has received a meaningful refresh, particularly with regards to accessibility and user experience. The changes are evolutionary rather than disruptive, but the cumulative effect is noticeable.

• The usual collection of bug fixes, because no release ships without us having hunted down everything we could find.

Please make sure you read the upgrade instructions carefully. As always, you can download the most recent release from our website.

Syncplify Server! v6.x has been retired and is under Limited Long-Term Support (LLTS). Under normal circumstances, no new v6 builds would be produced. This release is an exception, made exclusively because a critical defect affecting some but not all HA (high-availability) clusters warranted a backport.

What’s in this release

• Critical fix (backported from v7): Corrected an HA node communication defect that could (in some limited cases) cause cluster nodes to exchange excessive inter-node traffic, consuming significant network bandwidth while performing no useful work. In severe cases this could degrade the cluster performance.

That’s it. There are no new features, no other fixes, and no roadmap changes. This is a surgical release for one reason only.

A reminder about v6 support status

Version 6 is retired. LLTS means we address critical defects when the impact is severe enough to justify it. It does not mean v6 is back on the active development track, and it does not mean future issues will always receive backports.

If you are running v6, the right long-term answer remains the same: upgrade to v7. It is more secure, more capable, and actively maintained. Every day on v6 is a day without the improvements, protections, and fixes that ship continuously in v7.

If you are running an HA cluster on v6 and cannot upgrade immediately, apply this release. Then make upgrading to v7 your next scheduled priority.

• Several other “quality of life” improvements to WebClient!, including but not limited to, a convenient “refresh” button, a more consistent editing experience for “self” (own profile), the ability to set custom colors (light and dark) for WebClient!’s title and disclaimer, and a few other accessibility improvements

• Block-list items are now included in backup/restore operations (NEW!)

• OTP inputs on all 3 UIs are now auto-focused if/when they appear

Here is what changed, and why it matters.

The SyncJS library is now the common cross-product engine. Previous versions of AFT! had their own bespoke (and somewhat incompatible) SyncJS implementation. Starting with v4.0, every AFT! automation uses the new SyncJS engine shared library: the same engine that powers Syncplify Server! event handlers and R2FS! storage backend scripting tasks.

This is not a compatibility layer; it is a true unification. A script you write for AFT! will run on Syncplify Server! without modification (except for APIs that are product-specific by design), and vice versa. One scripting language. One API surface to learn. One VSCode extension to install.

Speaking of which: the SyncJS VSCode extension is already AFT!-aware. Install it, set syncjs.product to aft (which is the default), and you get full IntelliSense for every SyncJS built-in, every AFT!-specific extension (FsWatcher, RemoteWatcher, WaitForHaltSignal, Params, JobID), and the full SyncJS API surface. The extension also bundles MCP servers, so AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot (etc) have accurate, real-time awareness of the AFT! scripting API.

Scripts can run long-lived jobs or one-shot executions. This is the design choice that opens the most doors. An AFT! script can run as a persistent process. WaitForHaltSignal() blocks the script until an operator stops it via the web UI or the REST API, which means scripts can react to events in real time rather than polling on a schedule. FsWatcher monitors local directories for file-system events (create, write, remove, rename, chmod) and fires a callback the moment something changes. RemoteWatcher does the same for remote directories. Both support recursive subdirectory tracking. Newly created subdirectories are covered automatically, with no extra logic required. Scheduled execution via a cron-compatible built-in scheduler is still fully supported for batch workloads. The two models coexist.

The VFS Library replaces hardcoded credentials. Connection profiles (SFTP, FTP/S, S3, Azure Blob, GCS, local filesystem) are defined once in the VFS Library with a name and tested independently. Scripts reference them by name using VirtualFSByName(). Credentials never appear in script code, and the same script works across environments by simply changing which named profile it references. This is the AFT! equivalent of the VFS Library concept that Syncplify Server! users already know well.

CopyToVFS/MoveToVFS transfer without touching local disk. When copying or moving a file from an SFTP server to an S3 bucket, AFT! streams it directly between the two endpoints. Nothing is staged locally. And if it’s a “move” operation, the source file is removed automatically after a successful transfer.

Named Secrets keep credentials out of scripts. Passwords, API keys, and other sensitive values are stored encrypted in AFT!’s secrets store and retrieved at runtime with GetSecret("secret-name"). They never appear in plain-text anywhere in the script.

The full SyncJS function library is available. That means SFTP, FTP/S, S3, Azure, and GCS client objects with a uniform upload/download API; fluent HTTP client for REST API calls; SQL database access; AMQP messaging (RabbitMQ and Azure Service Bus); PGP encryption and signing; HMAC signing and verification; CSV and XML parsing; email, Slack, Teams, Telegram, and Twilio notifications; process execution with output capture; encoding and compression; image processing; and TcpConnect for lightweight health checks. The 21 new SyncJS core functions announced last week are all available in AFT! v4 as well.

The admin UI has been completely redesigned and vastly improved. New dashboard, new script editor with syntax checking, cron job management, op log, license management, and settings, all rebuilt. Login is now protected by bcrypt-hashed passwords and TOTP-based two-factor authentication.

Migration from AFT! v3 is a single command. Run aft import-from-aft3 and your existing v3 JavaScript scripts are imported. They will require review, and likely some adaptation to the SyncJS API, but the import step eliminates the manual copy-paste work.

It ships as a single binary with no external dependencies. One file. No runtime, no sidecar processes. Drop it on Linux or Windows, run it interactively, or install it as a system service with one of the supplied installers, and it is operational. The binary is CGO-free and statically linked.
