NOTICE: This release contains several very important changes that will affect the compatibility with previous packages.  Be sure to read the update instructions in the Upgrade Notices document as you will be required to run a conversion tool if you are upgrading from a previous version of our products to this version.

UPDATE: 3/12/2010 - 3.17 has been replaced with 3.18 after finding a bug in the XML Transformation component that caused certain scenarios for depth levels to not work properly.

This release contains the following updates/fixes:

1. New Dynamics GP Next Document Number Transformation component.  This will allow you to get next document numbers from Dynamics GP within the data flow of SSIS.
2. Consolidated Dynamics GP components.  There are no longer components seperated by version of Dynamics GP, instead there is just one version of each component and you select the version of Dynamics GP you want the component to run against.  This will greatly simplify upgrades of SSIS packages from version to version of Dynamics GP.
3. Many documentation updates in the user manual.  Upgrade notices are now in their own document included in the download.
4. Several new XML SSIS Toolkit samples have been added.
5. XML Transformation and XML Merge components now have a buffer option to allow for streaming to a file instead of relying on everything to be in memory.  This should only be used in scenarios where your server does not have enough memory but it has a considerable performance overhead.
6. Updated Project Converter tool for the Dynamics GP component updates.
7. General GUI cleanup.
8. Consolidated all GP Samples and made installer program ask which version of Dynamics GP you are using to setup the samples accordingly.
9. New XML Formatter option to use XDocument (LINQ) parsing which is faster and requires less memory then the old way of parsing (XmlDocument).
10. General speed improvements throughout all of the code which has also reduced the library size considerably.
11. Value type option in style drop down in XML Transformation and XML Destination adapters that allow you to add values after lead elements that have attributes.

This release is a maintenance release containing the following fixes:

• Dynamics GP eConnect and Next Document Number tasks were found to leak connections (keep open connections to the database server).  This issue has been corrected.

As with previous releases, be sure to read the manual for important upgrade documentation.

NOTICE: This release contains several very important changes that will affect the compatibility with previous packages.  Be sure to read the update instructions in the manuals as you will be required to run a conversion tool if you are upgrading from a previous version of our products to this version.

This release contains the following updates/fixes:

1. Integrated installer for all products.  SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 components are embedded into one installer.
2. Installer is now a pure MSI based installer.
3. All code has been consolidated and refactored into version specific DLL's.  This means that you can now have SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 components running side by side which will be helpful in development environments that deal with multiple SQL versions.
4. XML Merge component automatically refreshes when new columns are present.  In the past you had to go into the advanced editor and mark any new columns that were created from upstream components.
5. XML Transformation and XML Destination adapters have been updated so that no component properties are updated until you press the OK button.  In the past XML mappings were updated immediately. 
6. XML Transformation and XML Destination adapters now do validation on the OK button press.  This will make it so you can make any edits that you want without getting validation errors during row edits.  All validations are now handled at the very end of the component when you press the OK button. This will provide for a much better editing experience.
7. Fixed a validation error that would occur in the XML Transformation and XML Destination adapters when using attributes at depth level 1 when the output row element was unmarked.
8. Added more validation logic to XML Merge component.
9. Added more validation logic to the XML Destination and XML Transformation components.
10. XML Transformation and Destination adapters now handle upstream component changes better so that downstream components do not have to be updated as much or be completely remapped. 
11. Fixed a bug that would cause the XML merge component metadata to be corrupted when attaching to the component multiple times.
12. Updated installer utility to detect multiple sample types.
13. Added a project converter tool to upgrade from versions 2.41 to 3.14 to make those compatible with 3.15.
14. Dynamics GP SSIS and XML SSIS Toolkit manual updates.

This release is a maintenance release containing the following fixes:

1. Updated registration program with additional logging.
2. Updated XML Merge, XML Formatter, and XML Transformation components with additional logic to check for changes in upstream component changes such as data type changes, column changes, etc.
3. Transformation components now retain their settings when disconnected from parent components.
4. No longer checking if output is connected on transformation components as output connection can not be detected during validation.  This caused users to have to open the component editor to just hit OK so the component would refresh.  This step is no longer necessary.

This release is a hotfix release that contains the following fixes:

1. Registration program would error if you had a regional localization set on the operating system that allowed commas as a decimal seperator.
2. Updated Dynamics GP SSIS Toolkit and XML SSIS Toolkit manuals.
