SQL Source Control 5

SQL Source Control 5.3 release notes

Before you update, here are a few things you should know:

The new migrations solution replaces all previous versions

Migration scripts created using previous versions of SQL Source Control won't be compatible with SQL Source Control 5. To make sure any existing migration scripts aren't lost, see Upgrading from old versions of migration scripts before you update to SQL Source Control 5.

To deploy SQL Source Control 5 migration scripts using SQL Compare, you'll need SQL Compare version 11.6 or greater.

The following version control systems are no longer supported:

The following SQL Server versions are no longer supported:

  • SQL Server 2005 (RTM, SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4).

5.3.7 - December 14th, 2016

FREQUENT UPDATES RELEASE

Fixes

  • Fixes the issue introduced in 5.3.6 which caused SQL Compare to fail when SQL Source Control is installed
  • SC-9136: SQL Source Control now correctly handles stored procedure parameters with negative defaults
  • It is no longer possible to perform any other operations when there is a comparison options change to commit or retrieve. You are always required to deal with the comparison options change first. This prevents failures when retrieving migration scripts and other changes that might be affected by the comparison options.

5.3.0 - September 16th, 2016 

We’ve been updating how licensing works in the Redgate products. You’ll now be prompted to login with a Redgate ID to activate a newly installed product, or to upgrade an existing product to a new major or minor version. This unlocks better license management, and makes it easier to use Redgate software on multiple machines. Once a product is activated with a Redgate ID, we’ll be able to show you your licenses and some basic information about usage, and provide the ability for you to deactivate unused licenses. For now the license management functionality will only be available through the license management portal on the website. Down the line, we’re planning to offer some of these capabilities from within the software itself.

Fixes

  • SOC-8196: Prevented an intermittent issue where SQL Source Control fails to load in SSMS.
