Improvements in 2.18.2

• Updated to TMDL preview-2, which fixes a few issues with the TMDL serializer/deserializer (see #1092).
• Updated AMO/TOM to 19.64.0.

Bugfixes in 2.18.2

• The "Local instances" connection dropdown now shows local SSAS / DevEnv instances again.
• Measures with dynamic format strings applied, can now be copy/pasted (see issue #1099)
• Fixed an issue with the CLI option in conjunction with TMDL, when only the folder is specified (see issue #1101)

Bugfixes in 2.18.1

• Fixed a bug where "Save to Folder" in TMDL mode, followed by "Save", caused a mix of TMDL and legacy folder output.

Improvements in 2.18.0

• Updated TOM to 19.61.1.4.
• Tokenizer support for new DAX functions.
• Default Compatibility Level for new Power BI datasets is now 1601.
• Best Practice Analyzer now displays severity in the main window (thanks @DBojsen)
• The IAnnotationObject interface now includes a ClearAnnotations() method.
• Tabular Editor now supports TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language). To enable saving a model as TMDL in Tabular Editor, go to File > Preferences > Serialization and set the Serialization Mode to TMDL (preview). Once applied, the File > Save to Folder... menu option will save the model as TMDL.

• The Tabular Editor CLI adds the -TMDL switch, which will output a model as TMDL. The CLI is also able to load a model from a TMDL folder structure.

IMPORTANT: TMDL is currently in Preview. Please view the limitations listed here. Also note, that models containing Provider (aka. Legacy) Data Sources, cannot currently be deserialized from TMDL..

Bugfixes in 2.18.0

• Fixed an issue that prevented using the Batch Rename / Batch Rename Children option when using Tabular Editor as an external tool for Power BI Desktop.
• Setting a Format String Expression on a measure will now clear the Format String property (since it's not permitted to have a Format String Expression and a Format String assigned simultaneously).
