SQL Monitor 9

SQL Monitor 9.1 Release Notes

 

When should I upgrade?

  • We aim to release a build every two weeks that includes the latest incremental features and bug fixes. These builds are identified by a three-part version number, such as v9.0.9. So if you’ve identified a particular feature from the release notes that you need, you can download the relevant build.
  • If you want to wait until all aspects of a feature have been fully completed, it’s best to use a quarterly minor version release, identified by a two-part version number such as v9.1.
  • Annual major releases (such as v9.0) combine multiple feature releases and undergo additional QA
