We’ve taken big strides since our Beta release on August 10th. We’ve answered the [call from Supabase developers](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/357) to enable offline-first for [Flutter](https://pub.dev/packages/powersync) and [React Native](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@powersync/react-native) apps. We’ve since [open-sourced](https://www.powersync.co/open-source) both of those SDKs. Here are some things we shipped during October…

### **React Native SDK in Beta**

After our alpha release earlier this month, we’ve made it to beta with our React Native client SDK. Works well with Expo.

### **Use Firebase or Auth0 as authentication providers**

In addition to Supabase Auth, Firebase and Auth0 are now supported as authentication providers. Custom auth is also supported. Thanks to **Andy G** for getting us on this.

The Dashboard is under constant improvement, here is what’s new:

  * Auto-generating client-side schema from sync rules [h/t **Jon H**]
  * Support for detecting schema changes and automatically re-replicating tables [h/t **Emil Z** , **Benedikt M**]
  * Improved inline validation for sync rules
  * Sync rule validation now rejects SQL syntax PowerSync does not support [h/t **Alex M**]
