4.2.20133 - May 12th, 2020

Improvements:

• Updated SQL Compare Engine to 14.2.14.15791

Features:

• New projects now use the custom provisioning scripts feature by default. Logic for creating a database is now located in a CreateDatabase.sql script inside the Provisioning folder, instead of in a placeholder pre-script. This allows the shadow database to be located on an Azure instance. Note that it is still generally recommended to locate the shadow database locally where possible as that will usually result in a faster database connection. The default CreateDatabase.sql and DropDatabase.sql scripts can be altered to improve performance or implement custom provisioning logic.
