Changes with impact on existing DDL/API functions

OpenAPI

• OpenAPI DDL import now uses the same parser as the app, so importing DDL through the API returns the same results as pasting it into SqlDBM; previously the API used an older parser that could produce different or lossy results (for example, Databricks external tables were imported as regular tables, losing the EXTERNAL type and LOCATION)

Changes with no impact on existing DDL/API functions

AI Copilot

• AI Synonyms: a new inline AI button on entities and columns generates synonyms, and an "Add missing synonyms" bulk option is available in the AI menu
• The Property Editor and the Copilot panel can now stay open at the same time, so you can see object details while chatting with Copilot (previously opening one closed the other)
• In semantic mode, the Documentation AI menu actions ("Add missing descriptions", "Add or replace descriptions", "Improve logical names", "Add missing synonyms") now use each object's semantic context — business names, descriptions, types, sample values, synonyms — for more business-oriented results, falling back to physical column info outside semantic mode
• (Fix) AI documentation generation is more reliable: the inline buttons and AI menu handle errors better and run safely across multiple rows, and bulk documentation updates across many objects complete more consistently with clearer error reporting
• (Fix) AI usage reports now show the correct cost when a cached response is used

Snowflake

• Liquibase support in Forward Engineering: SqlDBM can now generate Liquibase YAML for Snowflake, with "Full" and "Alter" options in the configuration pane

Glossary

• Glossary rules now offer a "Match whole word only" option, which replaces only exact, delimited tokens (respecting the rule's Apply to scope) instead of substring matches

Direct Connect

• Snowflake external tables are no longer listed in the Direct Connect object picker, since they can't be imported

Global Objects

• When a column is added or updated in a source (Global) project and merged, dependent projects that use those objects now show a refresh indicator so you know to pull the latest schema (previously the change was silent)

Notifications

• (Fix) Subscription role-update notification emails are now delivered reliably (they were previously rejected because the email subject was empty)
