Release notes

Technical preview

The technical preview was a way to experiment with the core technology and gather feedback about what people want to use this technology for. The next step is to release an early beta in the run up to a V1 product release. The product will be a centralized management system for database provisioning with this technology built into an agent on each SQL Server being used. See the product page for more information on what's coming up: http://www.red-gate.com/products/dba/sql-clone/
