Improvements

• SA-2407: SmartAssembly console output is now reported in real-time, instead of at the end of the build, when using SmartAssembly MSBuild Tasks.

Fixes

• SA-2360: Fixed an issue where the 4th part of Windows version was reported as "0" for applications targeting .NET Core, when Automated Error Reporting or Feature Usage Reporting was used.
• SA-2390: Fixed an issue where using method returning value type by reference (e.g. ref int) would cause AccessViolationException in method executing it.

7.5.1 - October 13th, 2020

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

7.5.0 - September 10th, 2020

Fixes

• SA-2348:  Building .NET Standard and .NET Core libraries without a  .deps.json  file is now possible.
• SA-2358:  SmartAssembly no longer adds unnecessary references to processed .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Core 2.0-2.2 assemblies.
• SA-2369:  SmartAssembly SDK no longer throws an exception when calling  Database.ExecuteReader()  after  Helpers.DecodeStackTrace()  has been called.

Other changes

Improvements

• SA-2286:  SmartAssembly custom attributes are now available as a NuGet package,  RedGate.SmartAssembly.Attributes . See  Using custom attributes  for details.
• SA-2349:  Added  /log,  /logLevel,  /logFile  command line options to ease up logs configuration. See  Using the command line mode  for details.

Breaking changes

In this release of SmartAssembly we renamed the following options to avoid using discriminatory language and better describe their usage:

• Command-line argument  /dbMasterConn  was renamed to  /dbCreatorConn. If you rely on this command-line argument when executing SmartAssembly, you will need to adjust places where it's used to reflect those changes.
• SmartAssembly.settings  property  MasterConnectionString  was renamed to  DbCreatorConnectionString. If your settings file contains this property, SmartAssembly will attempt to update the configuration file automatically upon startup.
