13.3.7.6422 - June 11th 2018

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Features

  • The old Interactive HTML report type has been reinstated as the Classic HTML report type

  • SC-10104: Modifying a key index of a fulltext index will now drop the fulltext index before and recreate it later

13.3.6.6375 - June 4th 2018

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Fixes

  • SC-2813: CLR triggers will now be deployed if an assembly they require is rebuilt and Include Dependencies is on, even if their parent object is not selected, which avoids the deployment failing due to target CLR triggers that are no longer valid.
  • SC-9791: The 'DROP and CREATE instead of ALTER' option is no longer ignored when creating a deployment script.
  • SC-10050: Fixes crash when trying to deploy a Service that references a system-defined Contract
  • SC-10077: Multi-line string literals now have difference highlighting applied correctly
  • SC-10083: Adding a check constraint while rebuilding a table no longer causes an invalid deployment script
  • SC-10086: Functions that are schema bound and omit 'AS' in their definition no longer cause an invalid deployment script
  • SC-10095: Removing a column from a fulltext index on a view will now be flagged as a difference
  • SC-10099: Altering the columns in a fulltext index on a view now produces a correct deployment script
  • CLR triggers are now replaced when they need to be dropped to enable assembly rebuild.
  • UDT changes in script folders now cause objects using the UDT to be deployed as dependencies, to ensure the script folder does not become inconsistent.
  • UDTs no longer create objects that depend on the type as dependencies when you attempt to deploy just the type (they will still pull differences in objects that exist on both sides).
