ApexSQL Diff 2008 and ApexSQL Log 2008 – the Great Schism

AKA – I auto-updated to ApexSQL Diff 2008 and the Data module disappeared! What happened???

AKA – I auto-updated to ApexSQL Log 2008 and the Recovery wizard disappeared! What happened???

ApexSQL Diff 2008

With the release of ApexSQL Diff 2008, the product will split into two separate products, one for structure and one for data compare

This change was made for a few reasons but the biggest was the product has grown so large and that the modules are so different it will be easier to plan development and release of the two modules separately. This will allow us to get out patch, maint releases faster as well as move on a more efficient development schedule for major releases of the two modules if they are separate
