We are pleased to announce that a new version of Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio (SDI), version 2022.11.1349, is available for download from the Resource Center and is recommended for use by all Synergy developers. This is a quality improvement release, and as always, we encourage you to review the changes listed in the release notes.

This version of SDI also adds support for the recent 12.2 SDE feature release, including new runtime targets and support for DBLINK updates, which has split unresolved common checking from the -r flag into the new -c flag, with improved behavior. It is now recommended to turn on the -r flag in ELB projects using the Build property page to ensure unresolved references are checked. SDI also includes more context on some error list messages based on new DBLINK information output, and IntelliSense Completion scoring has been improved to prioritize close matches better.

The Synergy/DE tools included in this version of SDI (dbl.exe, dblproto.exe, dblibr.exe, dblink.exe, dbl2xml.exe, and rpsutl.exe) are from Synergy/DE version 12.2.1.1003.

We are pleased to announce a new Synergy/DE feature release, version 12.2.1.1003. This is the first in a new series of feature releases that will introduce the features that will ultimately be included in the next long-term support release of Synergy/DE in due course. The release contains three new features:

• Support for OrderBy on joined tables in Select operations. This opens up several optimization possibilities, both for your code and also for the Harmony Core web services framework. Support is provided both in traditional Synergy and Synergy .NET and for local queries and queries over xfServer.
  
• Support for inline FOREACH loop variable declarations. This enables you to declare loop variables directly within the FOREACH statement, simplifying your code and improving the scoping of the loop variable. Support is provided both in traditional Synergy and Synergy .NET and for both explicit and implicit typing.
• Limited runtime support for Synergy .NET for  .NET 6 on Linux. Initial support is for deploying Harmony Core services on Linux, and we are working hard to extend support to other .NET 6 applications in a subsequent release.

This is also a quality improvement release and includes a variety of improvements across the Synergy product set. As always, we recommend visiting the Synergy Resource Center to review the release notes for detailed information about everything that has changed.

We are pleased to announce that a new version of Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio (SDI), version 2022.08.1287, is available for download from the Resource Center and is recommended for use by all Synergy developers. This is a quality improvement release, and as always, we encourage you to review the changes listed in the release notes.

In particular, we would like to call out one specific improvement; we fixed a runtime memory corruption issue caused by the compiler in versions 2022.05.1198 through 2022.07.1273. With these versions, runtime memory corruption could occur in rare cases when a class had a record or a loose class field that was a synergy alpha, decimal, or integer type. If you are running one of these recent SDI versions, we recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

The Synergy/DE tools included in this version of SDI (dbl.exe, dblproto.exe, dblibr.exe, dblink.exe, dbl2xml.exe, and rpsutl.exe) are from Synergy/DE version 12.2.1.1000.

This release includes improvements to the dependency build system; we found that we were building more code than necessary in some specific cases, particularly in traditional Synergy “multi-mainline” projects. This release should resolve those issues, resulting in reduced build times in some cases.

The Synergy/DE tools included in this version of SDI (dbl.exe, dblproto.exe, dblibr.exe, dblink.exe, dbl2xml.exe, and rpsutl.exe) are from Synergy/DE version 12.2.1.1001.

We are pleased to announce that a new version of Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio (SDI), version 2022.05.1168 is available for download from the Resource Center and is recommended for use by all Synergy developers. This is primarily a quality improvement release, and as always, we encourage you to review these changes listed in the release notes. In addition, there are a small number of changes in behavior, as follows:

• Newly created traditional Synergy projects and existing traditional Synergy projects that don’t have a TargetRuntimeLevel property will now target version 12.1.1 of the Synergy runtime by default. Previously both types of projects defaulted to version 11.1.1.
• The targeted Synergy runtime version for a project that targets .NET Core or .NET 5 or higher is now determined by the version of the Synergex.SynergyDE.synrnt NuGet package that the project references. Additionally, the “Target Synergy runtime” field is no longer displayed on the Build page of project properties for Synergy projects that target .NET Core and .NET 5 and higher.
• When you open a solution containing projects that target a runtime version below the minimum runtime version supported by SDI (10.3.1b), a window will now open prompting you to upgrade those projects.
• The .NET Framework upgrade dialog will now open whenever you open a solution with projects that target a .NET Framework version that is below the minimum supported for Synergy projects (4.7.2).

The Synergy/DE tools included in this version of SDI (dbl.exe, dblproto.exe, dblibr.exe, dblink.exe, dbl2xml.exe, and rpsutl.exe) are from Synergy/DE version 12.2.1.1001.

Shortly after releasing SDI 2022.03.1110 we became aware of a problem requiring immediate attention. That issue has now been resolved and we have released Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio 2022.04.1114, and have removed the previous version from the downloads site. If you had already upgraded to the 2022.03.1110 release we recommend immediately upgrading to 2022.04.1114, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
