Back to BlogJune 2022 Community Recap
June was a busy month for the Community team at Liquibase. We attended cdCON as a Gold Sponsor, held in Austin, Texas, US on June 6 & 7, hosted by The Linux Foundation. It was great to get some in-person face time with our colleagues and community members, as well as meeting new folks. We’re glad it’s finally safe enough to return to in-person conferences. Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated about events we participate in.
Latest Liquibase Release
Highlights of this release include a breaking change of moving Snowflake Support into the main Liquibase artifact, 7 enhancements, updates to the JDBC driver and 3rd party libraries, almost 2 dozen bug fixes, and a lot of first-time community member contributions in the release. To learn more about these changes, Release Notes are available in our Liquibase Documentation, and a detailed changelog is available on Liquibase GitHub.
