What's new with BroadSQL 5.1.4 (2026-09-05)

New features

Database Groups, and a real Environment management screen: what used to be called "Instance" is renamed to "Database Group" throughout the UI and commands (the connection wizard's "Instance" field is now "Database Group"; SHOW CONNECTION/SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS show a "Database Group" column). "Environment" gets full CRUD for the first time: a new "Environments" tab in CONFIG lets you create, edit, and deactivate environments, each with a "Production" flag and a free text comment. A connection can no longer reuse the same (Database Group, Environment) pair as another connection already registered; saving a duplicate pair is now rejected.
New commands: SHOW GROUP (replacing SHOW ENVIRONMENTS as the primary keyword; SHOW ENVIRONMENTS, SH ENV, SHENV, and SHOW ENVTS still work as aliases on the same command), SHOW ALL GROUPS, and SHOW ALL ENVIRONMENTS.
CONFIG's menu bar now has a "Database Groups" menu and an "Environments" menu, matching the two tabs above; "Close" moved out of the "Connections" menu into its own new "Exit" menu.

The $CDF connection, and the $CDF Database Group and Environment it is registered under, are now protected in CONFIG: their fields are locked and Save/Delete/Duplicate are disabled from every tab and menu, since editing or deleting any of them would break BroadSQL's own access to its Connections Definition File.
SHOW ALL GROUPS and SHOW ALL ENVIRONMENTS were missing the separator lines every other table command prints; both now format consistently with SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS/SHOW GROUP.

Existing Connections Definition Files are migrated automatically the first time BroadSQL opens them with this release: no manual steps required.

None known at release time.
