4.1.15 - February 3rd, 2016

Features

• Added support for Subversion 1.9. 
• New 'Ignore nullability of columns' comparison option. When you turn it on, changing a column from NULL to NOT NULL (or vice versa) won't be detected as a change. This option is turned off by default.
• New 'Use compatibility level' comparison option. When you turn it on, SQL Source Control will use the database's compatibility level to detect supported features, rather than the SQL server version. This option is turned off by default.
• Support for connecting to TFS 2010 or later is now available without requiring Team Explorer or Visual Studio to be installed (requires Management Studio 2012 or later, .NET 4.5 framework or later).
• Improved performance when detecting changes to stored procedures, tables and indexes, especially in schemas with many partitions.

Fixes

• SOC-7501: "Don't Show me this again" does nothing in (GIT) Push to commit to repository box.
• SOC-7470: Database changes are now correctly detected if databases are modified while in a detached state.
• SC-8115: Indexes should no longer be incorrectly detected as changed.
• SOC-7344: SQL Source Control no longer has an intermittent error when refreshing the commit tab.
• SOC-7352: SQL Source Control now gives a more informative warning when a Git pull operation fails due to a merge issue.
• SOC-7262: SQL Source Control now gives a more informative warning doing Git operations using an unsupported URL protocol.
• We've changed the default tab spacing in the diff viewer, from eight spaces to four, to make diffs easier to read.

4.1.12 - December 23rd, 2015

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Feature

• Improved performance when detecting changes to indexes and stored procedures.

4.1.11 - December 16th, 2015

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Fix

•  SOC-7344: SQL Source Control no longer has an intermittent error when refreshing the commit tab.

4.1.10 - December 9th, 2015

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Fixes

• SOC-7352: SQL Source Control now gives a more informative warning when a Git pull operation fails due to a merge issue.
• SOC-7262: SQL Source Control now gives a more informative warning doing Git operations using an unsupported URL protocol.

4.1.9 - December 2nd, 2015

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Fixes

• We've changed the default tab spacing in the diff viewer (from eight spaces to four) to make diffs easier to read.

4.1.8 - December 2nd, 2015  

Features

• Support for masked columns (using the dynamic data masking feature of SQL Server 2016 CTP2.3).
• Improved the performance of committing changes with Git.
• When using the IgnoreSystemNamedConstraintNames option, where a constraint is system-named, differences in the constraint names are ignored.
  
• Feature usage reporting around SQL Source Control's performance.

Fixes

• SC-8065: SQL Source Control now ignores any partition functions and partition schemes that have been system-generated by fulltext indexing.

• SQL Source Control sometimes needs to temporarily disable foreign key constraints when updating static data. When SQL Source Control re-enables the foreign key constraints, it will now restore them to their original trusted or untrusted state by default, rather than always using WITH NOCHECK to skip integrity checks. 
  This means that the constraints will no longer default to being untrusted, but also means that the Get Latest process will take longer while the integrity checks are carried out.

• SC-8094: FILESTREAM columns are no longer dropped before table rebuilds. This means Get Latest no longer throws an error when transferring data to the temporary table during the table rebuild.

• SC-8102: When the Ignore Extended Properties option is disabled, extended properties on sequences now appear in Commit and Get Latest.

• SC-8110: SQL Source Control now supports DDL triggers defined for the CREATE_COLUMN_MASTER_KEY and DROP_COLUMN_MASTER_KEY event types. These event types are new to SQL Server 2016 CTP 2.3. This also means that SQL Source Control no longer fails when comparing DDL triggers defined for event groups containing those event types (e.g. DDL_DATABASE_LEVEL_EVENTS).

• SC-8113: An erroneous warning about stretch tables no longer appears when deploying a stretch table to a scripts folder.

• Fixed a problem with scroll-bars when the Static Data configuration screen was resized.
• SC-8059: User-defined DEFAULT constraint names are now deployed even when the IgnoreConstraintNames option is used.
• SC-7822: Comparing a scripts folder containing a stored procedure with ALTER SERVICE ROLE in its body no longer causes an error.
• SC-8062: Square brackets are now correctly ignored in table-valued function definitions containing multiple WITH option clauses when the "Ignore square brackets in object names" option is turned on.
• No longer hangs when comparing scripts folders on single-core machines.
