Structured diagnosis

C++ compiler errors can be tedious and cumbersome. To address this issue, we created a new Issue Details window that allows you to browse compiler errors in a structured manner. The Problem Details window can be opened by clicking the details icon of an entry in the error list.

Upgrade from MDS 3.0 to MDS 5.0 in SQL Server Data Tools

Also worth mentioning is the fact that SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) ​​​​moved from (Microsoft.Data.SQLClient)MDS 3.0 to MDS 5.0. MDS 5.0 has significant advantages over MDS 3.0. Added support for TDS 8.0, support for specifying the server SPN and failover server SPN when connecting, etc.

For SSDT users, the biggest change that can be noticed is the connection to a database. Two new fields have been added to the login page, namely “Encryption” and “Trusted Server Certificate”. This specifies the encryption type and the requirement for a trusted server certificate. By default, encryption is set to true or required.
