dependabot · 2025-10-13T09:54:49Z

Updated Microsoft.Data.SqlClient from 5.2.3 to 6.1.2.

Release notes

Sourced from Microsoft.Data.SqlClient's releases.

6.1.2

This update brings the below changes over the previous stable release:

Fixed

Fixed an issue where initializing PerformanceCounters would throw System.InvalidOperationException #3629
Fixed an issue where a Custom SqlClientAuthenticationProvider was being overwritten by default implementation. #3651
Fixed a concurrency issue in connection pooling where the number of active connections could be lower than the configured maximum pool size. #3653

6.1.1

6.1.0

Release Notes

[!WARNING]
This release version is delisted from NuGet.org and is no longer supported.
It contains critical bugs that make it unsuitable for use.

Stable Release 6.1.0 - 2025-07-25

This update brings the following changes since the 6.0.2 stable release:

Added

Added dedicated SQL Server vector datatype support

What Changed:

Optimized vector communications between MDS and SQL Server 2025, employing a custom binary format over the TDS protocol. (#3433, #3443)
Reduced processing load compared to existing JSON-based vector support.
Initial support for 32-bit single-precision floating point vectors.

Who Benefits:

Applications moving large vector data sets will see beneficial improvements to processing times and memory requirements.
Vector-specific APIs are ready to support future numeric representations with a consistent look-and-feel.

Impact:

Reduced transmission and processing times for vector operations versus JSON using SQL Server 2025 preview:
- Reads: 50x improvement
- Writes: 3.3x improvement
- Bulk Copy: 19x improvement
- (Observed with vector column of max 1998 size, and 10,000 records for each operation.)
Improved memory footprint due to the elimination of JSON serialization/deserialization and string representation bloat.
For backwards compatibility with earlier SQL Server Vector implementations, applications may continue to use JSON strings to send/receive vector data, although they will not see any of the performance improvements noted above.

Revived .NET Standard 2.0 target support

What Changed:

Support for targeting .NET Standard 2.0 has returned. (#3381)
Support had previously been removed in the 6.0 release, with the community voicing concerns.

Who Benefits:

Libraries that depend on MDS may seamlessly target any of the following frameworks:
- .NET Standard 2.0
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
- .NET 8.0
- .NET 9.0
Applications should continue to target runtimes.

Revived .NET Standard 2.0 target support

What Changed:

Support for targeting .NET Standard 2.0 has returned. (#3381)
Support had previously been removed in the 6.0 release, with the [community voicing concerns] (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 6.0 and .Net Standard dotnet/SqlClient#3115).

Who Benefits:

Libraries that depend on MDS may seamlessly target any of the following frameworks:
- .NET Standard 2.0
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
- .NET 8.0
- .NET 9.0
Applications should continue to target runtimes.
- The MDS .NET Standard 2.0 target framework support does not include an actual implementation, and cannot be used with a runtime.
- An application's build/publish process should always pick the appropriate MDS .NET/.NET Framework runtime implementation.
- Custom build/publish actions that incorrectly try to deploy the MDS .NET Standard 2.0 reference DLL at runtime are not supported.

Impact:

<summary>Release notes</summary>

_Sourced from [MSTest.TestAdapter's releases](https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/releases)._

## 4.0.0

## What is new?

### Assert.That 

MSTest v4 adds a new type of assertion, that allows you to write any expression, and it will inspect the result to give you more information on failure. Providing a very flexible way to assert complicated expressions. Here a simple example:

```csharp
[TestClass]
public sealed class Test1
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
        var animal = "Tiger";
        var zoo = new Zoo();
        Assert.That(() => zoo.GetAnimal() == animal);
    }
}

public class Zoo
{
    public string GetAnimal()
    {
        return "Giraffe";
    }
}

Assert.That(() => zoo.GetAnimal() == animal) failed.
Details:
    animal = "Tiger"     
    zoo.GetAnimal() = "Giraffe"

CallerArgumentExpression

CallerArgumentExpression is consumed by all assertions, to make them aware of the expressions used in the assertion. In the example below, we now know what both the expected and actual values are. But also what value they come from, giving us opportunity to provide better error messages:

[TestClass]
public sealed class Test1
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
        string animal = null;
        Assert.AreEqual("Giraffe", animal);
    }
}
 ... (truncated)
