Liquibase 4.18.0 Release Notes

Full changelog: v4.17.2...v4.18.0 (December 6, 2022)

Breaking Changes

  • Use PathHandler for writing log files, which allows using S3 and other extensions (DAT-11515) by @abrackx in #3438

Notable Changes

[PRO] Hashicorp Vault extension and Liquibase Pro

Use together for increased security and convenience of centralized properties

  • Security: Vaults offer much greater security than defaults files or environment variables
  • Centralization: Secure your database credentials, Liquibase Pro license key, secure URLs, and more in one central location. Update your critical properties in one place, and all linked tools and jobs use the new values

[PRO] rollback-on-error command argument for update command

  • When set to true will attempt to roll back a failed update operation.
  • Note: changesets marked failOnError=false, do not count as error, and so do not run rollback-on-error

[OSS] Liquibase Environment variables
