SE-3611 # SICS now supports display scaling at 100% & 200% accurately with both fonts & icons displayed at their highest fidelity. Other scaling percentages will work but may introduce some blurriness as the icons are rescaled. We will continue to improve the look of the icons as our capability grows.
The runtime argument -Dswt.autoScale=quarter must be present. This is included in the shipped .bat files.
SE-1861 # Adding a new column to an existing table when a default value needs to be set results in SQL to update the entire table. For a table with a large number of rows, this causes a large transaction log in Microsoft SQL Server.
To prevent this, large table updates on Microsoft SQL Server will be batched into increments of 10k rows when the Optimized Schema is in use.
...
No technical changes.
