v16.4.0-preview0001

[v16.4.0-preview0001]

Added

• SqlServerDsc
  • Added a new build task fastbuild that can be used during development
    process when there are no need to generate documentation.
  • Added new public command:
    • Get-SqlDscConfigurationOption - Returns the available configuration
      options that can be used with the DSC resource SqlConfiguration.

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Re-enable integration tests for dbatools.
  • Bumped dbatools to v2.0.1 for the integration tests.

v16.3.1

[v16.3.1]

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Temporary disable integration tests for dbatools.
• SqlAg
  • Added optional parameter SeedingMode that will set the SeedingMode for the
    SQL Server 2016 and higher. This parameter can only be used together with the
    module SqlServer installed (tested v21.0.17099). The parameter will be
    ignored if SQLPS module will be used.
• SqlAgReplica
  • Added optional parameter SeedingMode that will set the SeedingMode for the
    SQL Server 2016 and higher (issue #487).
    This parameter can only be used together with the module SqlServer installed
    (tested v21.0.17099). The parameter will be ignored if SQLPS module will be
    used.

Fixed

• Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
  • Now the command does not fail when checking if SQLPS is loaded into the
    session (issue #1928).

v16.3.0

[v16.3.0]

Remove

• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • Removed the function Invoke-Query. It is replaced by the command
    Invoke-SqlDscQuery (issue #1902).

Added

• New public commands:
  • Disconnect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine - Disconnects from a SQL Server instance
    that was previously connected to using Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine.
  • Test-SqlDscIsSupportedFeature - Evaluates if a feature is supported by a specific
    Microsoft SQL Server major version. This command must be extended with
    a full list of when features were added and removed in each major
    version to fully work.
• New private commands:
  • ConvertTo-RedactedText - Used to redact sensitive information from
    text that then can be used in console output like verbose messages.
  • Get-FileVersionInformation - Returns the version information
    for a file.
  • Assert-Feature - Throws an exception if a feature is not supported
    for a specific Microsoft SQL Server major version.
• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • Connect-SQL.
    • Add new parameter Encrypt.
• Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine
  • Add new parameter Encrypt.
• Invoke-SqlDscQuery
  • Add new parameter Encrypt.

Changed

• Now able to use DbaTools as a preferred module
  (with some restrictions).
• Gitversion no longer evaluates bumping major version using the word "major".
• Update private commands:
  • Assert-SetupActionProperties was changed to throw
    an exception when a feature is not supported (calls Assert-Feature).
    The private command is indirectly used by the setup action commands.
  • Invoke-SetupAction was changed to expand environment variables that
    is passed as the media path.
• SqlSetup
  • Update to support checking non-supported features using the command
    SqlDscIsSupportedFeature (issue #1872).
• Update SqlServerDsc.Common Module:
  • Connect-SQL - Function will now wait for the SMO Status property to be
    'Online' or throw an exception if time exceeds the statement timeout.
• SqlRS
  • Now uses the command Invoke-SqlDscQuery instead of Invoke-SqlCmd
    (issue #1917).
  • The parameter Encrypt has changed so that Mandatory or Strict
    will turn on encryption when connecting to the database instance.
• SqlDatabaseMail
  • Update integration tests to verify multiple instances of SqlDatabaseMail
    in the same configuration (issue #1871).
  • Changed comparison logic to use Compare-DscParameterState (issue #1871).
  • Return the correct profile name and mail server name from the current
    state (issue #1871).
• Invoke-SqlDscQuery
  • Now shows the correct instance name when called using a server object
    (issue #1918).
  • Correctly outputs query in verbose message when parameter RedactText
    is not passed.
• Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
  • Better handle preferred module and re-uses logic in Get-SqlDscPreferredModule.
