Upgrade to Java 11 Coming in Next Release

v7.18 is the last release to ship with Java 8. Future versions will ship with and require Java 11. If your installation uses a different JRE than the one bundled with Liquibase Enterprise, you will need to update this to Java 11 prior to installing future versions.

Deprecation of the Oracle Accelerator JDBC Driver

Because of a change in deployment trends and continued improvement of the performance of Datical DB, the Oracle Accelerator JDBC Driver (compression driver) was removed from our driver repository in versions 7.16 and higher.  The driver was previously available with versions 7.15 and lower.

Deprecation of the “Deployer” License

v7.18 will be the last release to support the Deployer license type. If you are using this type of license to use the Desktop Client, you will need to upgrade to an Admin license prior to installing future versions. To see which license you have installed, go to File → License Manager.

Fixed the rollback issue that affected MSSQL storedlogic changes when rolling back to a previously deployed version.

DAT-10342

DAT-2731

Fixed the issue on Windows causing Packager to fail when committing files to DDB repo because the filename or extension was too long. Most often this occurred after a branch merge containing hundreds of files.

DAT-10290

Fixed the issue in the Liquibase Enterprise Desktop Client edit connection dialog that enabled the password field even when runtimeCredentials=true.

DAT-10131

DAT-10105

DAT-10247

DAT-10246

Fixed the packager pipeline and feature merge issues. If the checksum does not match anything previously packaged or if if the changeSet related to the file in the archive is not found at all, a warning notifies the user and packager continues processing.

DAT-9289

Fixed the packaging failure that occurred when using sql_direct to package a MSSQL procedure.

Liquibase Enterprise & Business Clients (Datical DB) and DMC Compatibility

Each DMC release only works with certain releases of Liquibase Enterprise & Business Clients (Datical DB). Consult the Datical DB and Deployment Monitoring Console Compatibility Matrix to ensure compatibility.

 

 

DMC Update Instructions

The process of updating the Deployment Monitoring Console from version 7.0 or later to the latest version is similar to the installation process.

  1. Go to software.datical.com, download and copy the datical-service-unix-7_18_247-master.sh file to your existing DMC server.

  2. Run the installer with the following command and enter your existing OS user as the admin user and admin group:

/home/datical> sudo bash /datical-service-unix-7_18_247-master.sh
  1. Enter the directory of the previous DMC installation when prompted for an install location.

The installer will update your installation and restart affected DMC services. You can begin using the new version of the DMC immediately.
