• Authentication Hooks useAuth and useEmailPasswordAuth
• Improved useQuery syntax for handling filtered and sorted modifiers
• Ability to import RealmProvider, useQuery, useObject and useRealm directly from the @realm/react package without calling createRealmContext

How to resume Sync session if custom user data is updated

Kudos to our community member @Rossicler_Junior for finding a solution on sync session reset after changes to custom user data.

1. Permissions are cached per sync session. Changes to custom user data or roles and permissions will not be picked until the sync session starts.
2. Pause and Resume would update the permissions/roles and the client receives a client-reset which can be handled automatically.
3. More discussions on this by community member Dan Ivan

Is Schema generated if Dev Mode is on?

Thanks to our community member @Josh_Whitehouse for reporting the issue with Flutter SDK and mentioning steps to recreate the issue where server schema is not populated on running the local application and leads to client-reset. The flutter team is working on finding the solution as soon as possible.
