Upgrade Instructions For This Release
A fresh install is required for Liquibase Enterprise & Business 8.0 to function successfully. Upgrading from 7.18 to 8.0 using the Install New Software feature is not recommended. If installing to the same location, you will need to first uninstall the previous installation.
Installation still requires a minimum of Java 8 to be installed on the operating system beforehand.
Coming Soon: Revamped Liquibase Enterprise Docs!
All Liquibase Enterprise documentation will be available on docs.liquibase.com within the coming weeks! This new format will allow users to quickly find the documentation that caters directly to their user persona.
All relevant content from the existing Liquibase Enterprise Documentation in Confluence and DMC Documentation sites will be migrated.
Notable Changes
Java JRE & Eclipse Upgrades
Liquibase Enterprise & Business 8.0 and forward ships with and requires a Java 11 runtime environment. Previous versions used Java 8.
If your installation uses a different JRE than the one bundled with Liquibase Enterprise, you will need to update to Java 11 prior to running Liquibase Enterprise 8.0.
Also in version 8.0 we have upgraded the underlying Eclipse framework to the latest version. This enables us to use the latest libraries and maintain defenses against security vulnerabilities.
See the Notifications section for upgrade instructions.
EDBPlus Upgraded to Java 11 Compatible Version
EDBPlus v14 is available in Liquibase Enterprise & BUsiness 8.0. This version is compatible with Java 11. EnterpriseDB customers should select this option during installation.
DMC Security Enhancements
Several dependent libraries used in DMC are upgraded. This resolves many recent vulnerabilities that were detected using vulnerability scanning software.
Rebrand from DaticalDB to Liquibase Enterprise
Liquibase Enterprise 8.0 is rebranded in most places to remove the previous Datical branding. This phase of rebranding is primarily cosmetic, while future releases may also rebrand filenames and the default workspace location. Users will be notified in advance of any functional changes.
Liquibase Enterprise Driver Update
New Drivers are available for Liquibase Enterprise 8.0. It is important to note that the Enterprise version needs to match the driver version to operate successfully. Do not use the latest drivers until you are ready to upgrade to 8.0. Find all driver versions here.

Known Issues
Stored Logic State
In release 7.13 and later, we discovered that existing stored logic was in an UNKNOWN state on a Deploy report, which caused deployment to fail. We have reviewed desired behavior and will implement a storedLogicValidityAction to warn, not error, when pre-existing objects that are not part of the deployment show changes from Valid to Invalid.
