File Name Restrictions Broadened

Previously, security measures related to uploading files to the system imposed a restriction on the file name. The file name was limited to the allowed characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, space, and underscore (_). In this release, the file name character set has been broadened to allow for standard characters supported by UTF-8. In addition, the characters allowed in file names are aligned with those supported by OCI standards. The disallowed characters continue to include Windows reserved/device names and illegal characters including a trailing or leading dot, consecutive dots, and trailing spaces.

In addition, the following extensions have been added to the allowlist:

• .gzip
• .pgp
• .jar
• .asc
• .sig
• .geojson
• .jsonl

Broadening the characters supported for file names ensures that file names with localized characters are supported.
