What's New in Version 17.1
Named
support for SQL Server 2017
Named support for SQL Server 2017 with the same capabilities as
SQL Server 2016 in included in this release. Thus, you can explicitly select
SQL Server 2017 for physical database generation. Reverse engineering now shows
it as SQL Server 2017 while previous versions would display it as SQL Server
2016.
Supports
MongoDB 3.2, 3.4, and 3.6
MongoDB 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 have been added as new platform versions,
giving customers the ability to work with newer MongoDB versions. MongoDB
have now dropped support for all earlier versions prior to 3.2, since 3.2 and
later use the WiredTiger storage engine.
ER/Studio still supports MongoDB 2.6 - 3.0, allowing our customers as
transition path as they move up to the latest versions.
NOTE: support for MongoDB 2.4 and earlier has been
discontinued in ER/Studio).
Release Notes
To ensure compatibility
with ER/Studio Repository synchronization, this version of ER/Studio Data
Architect requires ER/Studio Repository (Team Server) version 17.0 or 17.1 for
all Repository operations.
ER/Studio Portal is no longer
supported by ER/Studio Data Architect. Most functionality formerly provided by
ER/Studio Portal is now provided by ER/Studio Team Server. Users that formerly
used the Repository tab to browse the portal can use a Web browser instead.
License Enforcement
When working with the Repository,
all users must use the same license type. ER/Studio now enforces this by
marking the Repository as an Enterprise Team Edition Repository when a user
with an Enterprise Team Edition license logs in. Subsequent log in attempts by
users with a non-Team Edition license will not be allowed

list of known issues and bug fixes in this release, see http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/ERStudioDA/171/en/Release_Notes.
