Facebook iOS engineer Nikita Lutsenko offered more details on Parse’s updated SDK in a blog post:

We updated our SDK to make sure it runs smoothly on iOS 8 and benefits from all of the new application-programming interfaces available. Just to name a couple, we’ve updated how [PFGeoPoint geoPointForCurrentLocationInBackground:] works to be smarter about requesting the appropriate permissions depending on the state of the app, and we’ve updated our push-notification integration everywhere to use the new permissions style and support the category key.

Parse Files let you easily store app files in the cloud that would otherwise be too large or cumbersome to fit into a regular database-style Parse Object.
