This release brings physical relationship support for global references. We are also adding Snowflake views and materialized views to database documentation for enhanced governance and metadata management all in one place—Excel import is similarly supported. Also, we are adding new rules for glossary term translation so users can apply them selectively to logical, physical, both, or not used (for documenting legacy conventions and disabling existing rules).

Changes with no impact on existing DDL/API functions

Relational Modeling

• Global references support for physical relationships
• Snowflake: compare revisions and merge using properties format instead of scripts
• Glossary terms new rules: apply to Logical, Physical, Both, Unused
• Snowflake: views and mat. views on database documentation
• Snowflake: views and mat. views in excel import

Logical Modeling

• Logical projects naming conventions and case standards
• Logical projects improved import rules for subtypes and supertypes

Highlights for this release include iFrame embedding and a revamped and smoother FK linking experience between tables, which addresses the shortcomings present in the tool. Snowflake Views have also been enhanced to offer the same column editing features as tables (e.g., drag-and-drop, assign Tags, rename).

We are sunsetting the "Convert project to" feature in favor of the more inclusive and versatile Logical conversion method. Please read more about converting between project and database types using the Logical conversion method here ).

Git repository integrations are moving from Admin to user-level with User Connections. Configure User Connections on the Dashboard/Account settings and use them for fast personal access to database credentials for Direct Connect and push to git on Forward Engineering. Multiple git repositories per connection are supported for users with separate repositories for relational models, dbt projects, and additional use cases.

Please migrate your admin-level git configurations to personal User Connections to avoid disruption to push to git functionality.
