• The data generator now supports 8, 16, 32 and 64 byte signed integer types for all 4 supported database engines.
• Improved logging setup error checking during application initialization.
• We no longer ship the data generator CLI as a Docker Linux Alpine image. See our installation guide for more information on our release binaries.

Fixes

• The data generator no longer crashes on MySQL longtext type columns.
• Made tool more culture invariant by no longer assuming we are running in British UK compatible environmental settings.
• Fixed issue where documentation links in the tool (e.g. --help) were pointing to the subsetter capability instead of the data generator one.
• Improved error message when the tool doesn't work because the database contains cyclic references.
