ADDED: Added console argument /AzureRemoteStatus=true to list Azure remote execution machines and their readiness status
ADDED: Added console argument /ForceCustomDacPac=true to force teh creation of a custom dacpac and build script for each target database. USE WITH CAUTION this will exponentially increase the deployment time and processing needs. Use only as a last scenario to ensure full database synchronicity

FIXED: Logging error when running command-line remote execution

Version 8.6.5
FIXED: Script tag was not getting inferred when using the Action -> Add New File menu option
FIXED: Package hash was not changing when scripts were reordered. It will now be different because the execution order can effect the final state of the database and as such the hash should be different

Version 8.6.4
NOTE: ** ATTENTION! Due to a change in the parsing algorithm for scripts, hash values may differ between this version and prior versions of the tool! UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. **
UPDATED: Changed the Adhoc query working directory from the user's temp folder to a hidden subfolder of the destination file. This is to avoid issues with lack of storage.
ADDED: Ability to set script timeout for Adhoc queries.
UPDATED: Modified the batching of scripts to ignore "GO" delimiter in a comment block. This may effect the hash value of some scripts but 99% of the ones I have tested are unchanged. For the 1%, they may get a "changed" icon when in fact they were not changed.

FIXED: No longer forces you to change the script tag when selecting multiple scripts and selecting "Edit/View Script Build Detail"

ADDED: Enforces that Triggers scripted via the tool never have transactions stripped out

This new mechanism consists of a build control XML file (.sbx) that contains the script run metadata for the scripts that co-resident in the same file system directory. When you're ready to put them all together, a "package" feature is there to put all the files into a new build .sbm package.

Instead of the log and messages getting saved in the .SBM file, they are saved in a directory structure. This will allow you to update multiple same-schema databases quickly and efficiently.
FIXED: Coloring of scripts marked as "run once" and also locked against running again. They were incorrectly getting displayed as white.
UPDATED: Updated menu icons

Version 8.0.3
ADDED: Ability to copy out build history on a per-run basis to an XML file.
