Firsly, Happy New Year 🎆! 2023 is here, it’s going to be a great year for all you SQL users.

Release 3.8 contains some great new features:

  1. Apache Cassandra support (read-only beta) - Casssandra support is dropping in the commercial version of Beekeeper Studio. Currently support is read-only, but full read/write support is being worked on.
  2. Create database GUI - Create databases directly from Beekeeper Studio with the click of a button. Also in the community edition
  3. Hide entities in the sidebar - Hide tables, views, or functions. Also in the community edition.
  4. Dynamic column loading - This is a HUUUUGEEE performance improvement for large databases. We only load table columns when you need them, not when connecting. Also in the community edition.
  5. Oracle performance improvements - Oracle support keeps getting stronger.
  6. Oracle SSH support - You can SSH to an oracle host if you’re not using TLS.
  7. Read-only connection mode [BETA] - Beekeeper will stop you from executing queries that modify data or schemas in this mode.

Thanks to all contributors, as usual you make Beekeeper Studio Amazing.
