02/01/2022	8067	Salesforce with SSO	Changed Changed the default Salesforce API Version to 53.
12/31/2021	8035	Salesforce with SSO	Changed Due to a recent improvement we have replaced the instance url format in the OAuthSettings.txt file. If possible, we advise users to remove the existing OAuthSettings.txt file and reissue a new connection.
11/18/2021	7992	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added support for persisting the session token retrieved with OKTA MFA. These tokens are short lived and expire after two hours. At that point, the driver will send a request for a new MFAPasscode which should be reissued in a new connection. Retrieve your MFA Token from you phone, email, or other method you have configured with OKTA to handle MFA. Added support for the CredentialsLocation connection property which specifies the location of the settings file where the token retrieved with OKTA MFA is saved. This works the same as the OAuthSettingsLocation.
09/02/2021	7915	General	Added Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
08/07/2021	7889	General	Changed Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
08/06/2021	7888	General	Changed Added the new sys_primarykeys system table.
07/23/2021	7874	General	Changed Updated the Literal Function Names for relative date/datetime functions. Previously relative date/datetime functions resolved to a different value when used in the projection vs te predicate. Ie: SELECT LAST_MONTH() AS lm, Col FROM Table WHERE Col > LAST_MONTH(). Formerly the two LAST_MONTH() methods would resolve to different datetimes. Now they will match. As a replacement for the previous behavior, the relative date/datetime functions in the criteria may have an 'L' appended to them. Ie: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that previously were calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.
07/13/2021	7864	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added support for CUD operations on polymorphic fields.
07/08/2021	7859	General	Added Added the TCP Logging Module for the logging information happening on the TCP wire protocol. The transport bytes that are incoming and ongoing will be logged at verbosity=5.
06/17/2021	7838	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added support for OAuth JWT.
06/11/2021	7832	Salesforce with SSO	Changed Bulk queries use a new downloader when running against API v1. The new downloader downloads and process chunks of result data in parallel and uses temporary files to store data that has not yet been processed. It is both faster and more resilient against slower readers than the previous download mechanism. The BulkAPIVersion property is hidden. It's not recommended for users to set this property since bulk API v2 is slower and has fewer features.
05/20/2021	7810	Salesforce with SSO	Changed Added support for GETDELETED to the ContentDocument and ContentVersion tables.
04/23/2021	7785	General	Added Added support for handling client side formulas during insert / update. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1 = Concat(Col1, " - ", Col2) WHERE Col2 LIKE 'A%'
04/23/2021	7783	General	Changed Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
04/16/2021	7776	General	Added Non-conditional updates between two columns is now available to all drivers. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1=Col2 Changed Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns. Updated implicit and metadata caching to improve performance and support for multiple connections. Old metadata caches are not compatible - you would need to generate new metadata caches if you are currently using CacheMetadata. Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates Updated and standardized Getting Started connection help. Added the Advanced Features section to the help of all drivers. Categorized connection property listings in the help for all editions.
04/15 /2021	7775	General	Changed Kerberos authentication is updated to use TCP by default, but will fall back to UDP if a TCP connection cannot be established
04/13/2021	7773	Salesforce with SSO	Changed The OneLogin method we used previously has been deprecated by OneLogin. We have updated our design to use the latest version of the OneLogin API, which now requires a seperate OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret associated with your OneLogin app to be passed in through SSOProperties. The APIKey that was formerly passed in through SSOProperties for OneLogin is removed. OneLogin also no longer uses SSOLoginURL. Instead, Subdomain and AppId should be specified inside the SSOProperties.
04/07/2021	7767	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added GetLimitInfo stored procedure.
03/31/2021	7760	Salesforce with SSO	Deprecated IdpURL, AppEmbedLink, OktaAppEmbedLink, OktaDomain, IdpSystemPassword, SSOUser, SSOPassword, IdPPassword, IdpSystemUserName, IdpUser, OneLoginAPIKey, OktaApiToken, IdpSystemScheme, IdPSystemSSLClientCert, IdPSystemSSLClientCertType, IdPSystemSSLClientCertSubject, IdPSystemSSLClientCertPassword, and SSOTokenURL are deprecated. Replacements Deprecated the SSOTokenURL connection property. Instead SSOExchangeTokenURL should be used to specify the endpoint for exchanging SAML token with an oauth token. IdpURL is replaced by SSOLoginURL. The OktaDomain longer needs to be specified for any SSO connections as it can be extracted from SSOLoginURL. SSOLoginURL replaces OktaAppEmbedLink and AppEmbedLink as it is more generic and applicable to other SSO providers. SSOUser, SSOPassword, IdpUser, IdpPassword, IdpSystemUserName, IdpSystemPassword are replaced with the User / Password connection properties. OneLoginAPIKey and OktaApiToken are replaced by APIToken. IdPSystemSSLClientCert, IdPSystemSSLClientCertType, IdPSystemSSLClientCertSubject, IdPSystemSSLClientCertPassword are replaced with the standard SSL cert connection properties.
12/16/2020	7655	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added an embedded OAuth app.
12/11/2020	7650	Salesforce with SSO	Added Added OrderItemsRest table by implementing the two endpoints from the Place Order REST API: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_placeorder.meta/api_placeorder/sforce_placeorder_rest_api_add_orderprod.htm https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_placeorder.meta/api_placeorder/sforce_placeorder_rest_api_get_details_order.htm The table can be enabled with the EnablePlaceOrderRESTAPI connection property.
