New feature highlights:

  • Starting from this version it is possible to specify a custom label and/or a font color for server nodes in the Database Explorer tree.

  • Starting from this version it is possible to select a tab color for windows that belong to a certain database. This could help you to distinguish windows with the same caption but a different parent database (such as SQL Editor) with ease. The color can be specified at the Options tab in the Database Profile Properties dialog.
