Liquibase 3.8.8 Released, Provides Minor Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

For both Liquibase Open Source and Liquibase Pro users, the following bugs were fixed in version 3.8.8:

• Liquibase Pro no longer generates procedural code with incorrect SQL syntax when running generateChangeLog against a MySQL database.

v3.8.7

Liquibase 3.8.7 Overview

Liquibase 3.8.7 Extends Targeted Rollbacks Capabilities for Liquibase Pro

We are excited to announce with the release of Liquibase 3.8.7, Liquibase Pro users now have additional targeted rollback capabilities with two brand new commands! The creation of the rollbackOneUpdate command allows users to rollback their last update, or target any previous update with a --deploymentId parameter, and our new rollbackOneUpdateSQL command allows you view the SQL your rollbackOneUpdate command would produce prior to deploying it. That way, you can ensure you don't encounter any unintended consequences before rolling back.

Each one of these commands come with their own --help to give you friendly command-specific assistance when you need it most. Just type liquibase rollbackOneUpdate --help or liquibase rollbackOneUpdateSQL --help to find what you need.

To also help you navigate the Targeted Rollback waters, our fantastic engineers have created a brand new command available to both Liquibase Open Source and Pro users, we call this command history. The history command lists out all of your deploymentIds and all changeSets associated with each deploymentId so you can inspect a group of changes to ensure they have been applied to the database. Just type liquibase history into your command line to see it in action. Don't forget, you can also use a --outputFile parameter to write this information to a text file!

Bug Fixes

Liquibase 3.8.7 also continues our initiative to make Liquibase bigger, badder, and even better than before. For both Liquibase Open Source and Liquibase Pro users, the following bugs were fixed in version 3.8.7:

• --help was improved to include missing commands and correct information.
• CompositeClassLoader does not implement getResource(String)

v3.8.6

Liquibase 3.8.6 Overview

Windows and MacOS installers

In addition to the existing zip/tar distributions, there are now liquibase-installer.exe and liquibase-installer.dmg graphical installers.

These installers include everything you need to run Liquibase (including Java) to make getting started easier than ever.

GETTING_STARTED.txt

Regardless of how you install Liquibase, there is now a GETTING_STARTED.txt file that points you to some sample projects to start trying Liquibase as quickly as possible.

Targeted Rollbacks for Liquibase Pro with 'rollbackOneChangeset' command

You asked, and we listened! With the release of Liquibase 3.8.6, Liquibase Pro users will now have additional rollback capabilities with Targeted Rollback, a powerful new feature that allows you to target one changeSet to rollback, without affecting all the other changeSets which followed it. Think "git cherry pick" for rollbacks.

We even added a helper command "rollbackOneChangsetSQL", which will show you the SQL that will be used in the rollbackOneChangeset command.

You can now also receive command specific help for Targeted Rollback by typing in either
liquibase rollbackOneChangeSet --help or
liquibase rollbackOneChangeSetSql --help.

Bug Fixes

Liquibase 3.8.6 also continues our initiative to re-engage with our users by bringing new bug fixes to our Liquibase platform. For both Liquibase Open Source and Liquibase Pro users, the following bugs were fixed in version 3.8.6:

Liquibase Open Source

Liquibase is open source now and always. We’ll continue to provide the great Apache v2-licensed database change and version control tool you know and love. We’re excited to provide better documentation, better community support and more functionality for many future releases.

Liquibase Pro

Liquibase Pro gives teams an option to get support and expert answers for their use case so they don’t have to go it alone. Liquibase Pro also adds functions to change sets for updating procedural database code. Liquibase Pro is available under a commercial license as a yearly subscription.
