8.1.22.24422 - August 18th, 2026

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Improvements

• Registering scripts folders containing ALTER TABLE ... ADD INDEX should now model the relevant index
• Registering scripts folders containing ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN or ALTER COLUMN should now update the specified column as appropriate
• Improved error handling for CREATE COLUMN MASTER KEY, CREATE COLUMN ENCRYPTION KEY, CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP and CREATE/ALTER EXTERNAL RESOURCE POOL statements found in script folders - they should now raise a parser error instead of being silently ignored
• Enhanced the Object Difference Pane with dark theme text support.
• Updated SQL Compare Engine to 17.0.0.31245

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where commit comments were not displayed in the Comments column of Links Panel for changesets linked to Azure DevOps work items.
• ZD-361518: Fixed an issue where rebuilding a table to make it system-versioned temporal generated an unrunnable script when the target already had PeriodStart/PeriodEnd columns with SYSTEM_VERSIONING off
• CREATE FULLTEXT STOPLIST and ALTER FULLTEXT STOPLIST statements without a trailing semicolon no longer cause the containing script file to fail to parse
• A column definition carrying a HIDDEN clause without GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START/END no longer causes the containing script file to fail to parse
• The number of progress events reported when performing column mappings has been capped. This prevents the UI being overwhelmed with events and hanging the application.
• Fixed an issue where rebuilding a table to make it system-versioned temporal generated an unrunnable script when the target already had one of the two period columns as an ordinary column
