Liquibase 4.4.2 Release Notes

Liquibase v4.4.2 is a patch release.

See GitHub formatted release notes for more information. Full changelog: 4.4.1–4.4.2 (July 22, 2021)

This release includes community-contributed pull requests, Liquibase Open Source and Liquibase Pro bug fixes, and enhancements to the drop-all command and SQL*Plus.

Here is a closer look at what we improved in the latest release.

Known Issues

UniqueConstraintSnapshotGenerator does not handle more than four unique constraints. The diff command reports a difference in unique constraints caused by the PostgreSQL database snapshot having fewer unique constraints than the snapshot from another database compared. Also, the issue can cause unreliable diffs and changelog generation for all non-MySQL databases. The fix will be available in the next release. #1996
