1.0.7 - February 13th, 2015

Features

SQL Release now includes additional checks when comparing and deploying schemas:

• After running the update script to change the target database, SQL Release runs an additional post-deploy check to ensure that the static data in the database is now the same as in the source.
• When specifying multiple databases as the value of -BeforeUpdate, SQL Release checks that the static data is the same in each before generating the database update object.
  See Deploying static data with SQL Release 
• Before deploying changes, SQL Release checks if the target database is already in the desired state (that is, it has already been updated). If so, it skips the deployment.

Other changes

• New-DatabaseUpdate no longer supports multiple input to the AfterUpdate parameter.

Known issues

• SQLREL-60: Filters are not respected when comparing static data between -BeforeUpdate values.

1.0.6 - January 8th, 2015

Features

You can now change whether SQL Release sends feature usage data and error reports to Redgate. This information helps us prioritize future development work and fix issues.

During installation, turn off the relevant check boxes in the installation wizard. For unattended installations see Installing from a command prompt.

1.0.5 - December 5th, 2014

Features

SQL Release will now apply changes in static data when creating an update from a package or scripts folder. 

See Deploying static data with SQL Release. 

1.0.4 - November 27th, 2014

Features

• You can now change the SQL Compare options that are applied when generating update scripts and running pre-deploy and post-deploy schema checks. 
  See Using SQL Compare options in SQL Release.
• Added support for changing the transaction isolation level used by the update script. For information about transaction isolation levels, see SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL (MSDN)

1.0.3 - November 13th, 2014

Changes

• The SQL Compare options used when generating update scripts and running pre-deploy and post-deploy schema checks have changed. 
  For more information, see default comparison behavior used by SQL Release.
  

• The New-SchemaSnapshot cmdlet has been removed.

1.0.2 - November 7th, 2014

Changes

• The expiry date of the Beta is now logged when running SQL Release. A warning will be shown when the Beta is due to expire in a month.

Fixes

• SQLREL-51: Fixed a bug which may have caused interference with licensing of other Redgate products. 

1.0.1 - October 30th, 2014

Features

• Filters - SQL Release will apply the filters you have specified in SQL Source Control to include/exclude objects when generating the update script. The filters are also applied in the schema checks before creating an update script, where multiple sources have been specified, and in the schema checks before and after running the update script against a database.

  • SQL Release will apply filters when it finds a Filter.scpf file in the NuGet package or scripts folder you are using as the -AfterUpdate schema source. Filter.scpf is the standard filter file output by SQL Source Control. You can override this filter file using the -FilterPath parameter in the New-DatabaseUpdate cmdlet, to specify a different filter file.
• A SQL Release entry is added to the Start menu after installation, which opens the getting started documentation.

• Feature usage data is collected and sent to Redgate. This data tells us which SQL Release cmdlets you are using, and will help us prioritize new features. 

  • If you want to stop sending this data, please email us.

Known issues

• SC-7602: Dependencies are pulled in that should be excluded by filters.
