Satori team update: ApexSQL Source Control – Update 2

What have you been working on?

  • We have been working on bug fixes, improving usability and general quality along with introducing the “Working folder” feature. This feature will enable the user to use ApexSQL Source Control by selecting a working folder in the file system which allows working with any third party source control client, or to use it only for a quick and simple add-in evaluation, without using any source control system. Also, we’ve added new abilities to work with objects through the Object Explorer pane.
  • Those functionalities will be included in ApexSQL Source Control R9 along with several more (see below).
