• Fixed exporting schemas to Java and Kotlin. The @Required annotation was incorrectly applied to lists of non-primitives. (#1181, since v1.8.0)
• On Windows, ensure there'll be no unnecessary local path collisions when browsing multiple Realm Cloud instances. The effect would have been that Realms with the same name that resided on different servers would need to be redownloaded every time you switched servers. (#1184, since v3.7.0)

• Added a menu item to export data to JSON or a local Realm from the Realm Browser window. When exporting to a local Realm the file will be compacted and saved without additional free space. (#1134)
• Added an option to run verbatim realm-js queries on the Realms and Users tables. This can be useful, for example, when you have many similarly named Realms - for example foo, foo1, etc. and you want to find exactly foo. To run a manual query, prefix it with !. (#1147)
• Added progress labels when downloading a Realm file. (#1148)

Fixed

• None
