We strongly advise all users to upgrade to this release
as it addresses some problems and adds many great features.

tables and links.

#464. Added schema level option to enclose identifiers in double quotes or
square brackets when generating SQL (i.e. enforce delimited identifiers).

#465. Added shortcuts for Create Version Checkpoint, SQL Console and Create
or Update Database Structure.

#466. Added support for custom schema objects, which could be use to contain
objects, like IB\FB Exceptions, file groups, etc.

confirmation if any of the assigned domains have changed.

Issues Addressed

#468. Fixed Access Violation on testing database schema, when database
profile is not assigned.

creating fields the property SQLFieldType was not assigned.

#470. Fixed bug in search/replace dialog. When searching for views it was
also returning stored procedures.

it is unable to locate token 'ON'.

if it is equal to 0.

#473. Fixed problem with assigning duplicate names to unnamed indexes and
constraints when importing from SQL script.

#474. Fixed problem with keeping file lock on previously edited schema
(problem occurred after creating new schema).

#475. Fixed problem with parsing/skipping single word statements, like
COMMIT.

#476. Fixed problem with printing multiple copies when collation is
supported by printer driver.

#477. Fixed problems with help not being linked to some of the dialogs.

names when importing from SQL script.
