The session tool was improved with long ops support, an invalid object tool, a connection dialog, the ability to extract straight to disc, template help, and a schema browser that shows extents. The object cache can now be saved to disk. The ability to execute all functionality in a worksheet was improved. A huge performance improvement was made in handling large results and editors. Passwords are no longer stored in cleartext in the registry or configfile, but are obfuscated (although they are not encrypted). Large assortments of bugfixes and minor improvements were also made.
