The old check in the login dialog compared how the connection was entered, and files carrying a shared database identifier or remembered connections at startup had no check at all. All paths now check the…
Second, rendering and packaging gaps. Pull request 17416 repairs native JabKit layout-based exports to formats like R-I-S, C-S-V, and H-T-M-L, whose templates were missing from the native image. The smoke suite now verifies those exports and their content. Pull request 17384 fixes linked-file paths showing as dark…
