2.0.6.1009 ===================================================================

Released 2022-03-31

Enhancements & New Features

 * [PRESO-834] Support for JWT authentication

   You can now authenticate your connection with a JSON Web Token (JWT). To do
   this, select JWT Authentication from the Authentication Type drop-down list
   (set the AuthenticationType property to JWT Authentication). For more 
   information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 
   
 * [PRESO-831] Cache access tokens

   You can now cache access tokens using OIDC authentication. To do this, 
   check the Cache Access Token check box (set the CacheAccessToken property 
   to 1). For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.   
   
 * [PRESO-803] Passdown access tokens

   You can now passdown access tokens to a connection string. For more 
   information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.     

 * [PRESO-786] Multiple authentication challenges in a single process

   When using PowerBI or Tableau to send queries, the connector now 
   reauthenticates itself.   


Known Issues 
The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in 
the data source, the connector, or an application. 

 * Implicit casting of CHAR(x) to larger CHAR(x) is not supported

   Beginning with version 0.152.1-t, Starburst does not support implicit 
   casting of CHAR(x) data to a CHAR(x) of a larger size. As a workaround, 
   INSERT queries into columns of CHAR(x) type must contain an explicit cast 
   into a CHAR(x) type of the size reported by the Starburst Server.
   
 * [PRESO-681] Some year values not supported in TIME and TIMESTAMP

   The connector does not support year values less than -9999 or greater than 
   9999 in TIME and TIMESTAMP data types.
