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
• Case standards: separate settings for physical and logical names
• 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
• Bulk select for explorers (add multiple objects to diagram)
• Change default file name for pushing YAML files to git
• Export to git DDL, add multi-file option
• Detailed error messages for git integration and repository responses
• Fix. Snowflake. Procedure skipped because of Syntax error
• Fix. Unicode Character <0x2002> fails during RE
• Fix. Direct Connect. List Objects in Snowflake uses inconsistent column ordering

Logical Modeling

• Logical projects improved import rules for subtypes and supertypes
• Logical project. Change terminology to Entities and Attributes in Governance Fields

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 methodhere ).
