you may review in the Release
Notes.
What's New in Version 18.1
ER/Studio Data Architect 18.1 includes upgraded components and
graphical visualization frameworks. This release also includes a number of
fixed issues that you may review in the Release
Notes.
What's New in Version 18.0
Improved
publishing of models into Team Server
ER/Studio Data Architect 18.0 includes a full redesign of the
process to publish models into Team Server. In ER/Studio Enterprise Team
Edition, there now is an additional prompt allowing you to publish a model that
is triggered at check-in or held and not published, if desired. This feature
works in conjunction with the new global publishing options in Team Server.
Improved
repository password encryption
This release includes enhanced encryption of repository passwords
for all supported platforms.
Includes
selectable SQL Server drivers
This release includes the option to select a SQL Server driver
when necessary for forward and reverse engineering within your environment.
To ensure compatibility
with ER/Studio Repository synchronization, this version of ER/Studio Data
Architect requires ER/Studio Repository (Team Server) version 18.2 or later 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
For the more recent
list of known issues and bug fixes in this release, see http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/ERStudioDA/181/en/Release_Notes.
