         InsufficentExecPermissionsException
•  - The following new enums have been added:
         ApexSql.Log.ConnectionMonitorAuthentication
         ApexSql.Log.ServiceStatus
• - Field.GetBinaryStream() method can now return binary stream for any data type not just BLOBs
• - BLOB reading now consumes less memory (up to 50% less)

Fixes:

• - It's impossible to connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication under Vista with active UAC
• - When a machines' hardware ID changes, the server's activation status becomes invalid and re-activating is not possible
• - "Unknown SQL Server version" error is thrown when reading SQL Server 2000 backups
• - Online transaction log files sometimes cannot be accessed on an x86 OS that has more than 4 GB of RAM
• - SPID values are incorrectly outputted for SQL Server 2008
• - The application fails when trying to read SQL Server 2000 database backups
• - Servers with expired evaluation can’t be activated
• - Online transaction log and database files hosted on Windows 2000 cannot be read
• - BLOBs whose data type has been changed are outputted incorrectly
• - UPDATE operations are sometimes not reconstructed correctly even when there is enough data to do so
• - SMALLMONEY values are outputted incorrectly
• - Table filters work incorrectly for SQL Server 2000 transaction logs audited under SQL Server 2005/2008
• - Server Helper service can’t be started correctly if installed over older version of Server-side Components

Changes:

• -  API now throws ApexSql.Log.Exception instead of System.Exception. ApexSql.Log.Exception inherits System.Exception so no user code needs to be changed
• -  Server-side components have been split to two independent sets: server-side components for ApexSQL Log and server-side components for ApexSQL Recover. On upgrade, un-used server-side components are deleted.
         Split ApexSqlServerXprocs2008.dll into ApexSqlLog2008Xprocs.dll and ApexSqlRecover2008Xprocs.dll
         Split ApexSqlServerHelper2008.exe into ApexSqlLog2008ServerHelper.exe and ApexSqlRecover2008ServerHelper.exe
         Split ApexSqlServerHelper2008.sys into ApexSqlLog2008ServerHelper.sys and ApexSqlRecover2008ServerHelper.sys
• - Renamed xp_ApexSqlConnectionMonitor2008* extended procedures to xp_ApexSqlLog2008ConnectionMonitor*
• - Renamed sp_ApexSqlConnectionMonitor2008* stored procedures to xp_ApexSqlLog2008ConnectionMonitor*
• - All server-side logs for the application's server-side components are consolidated into one log file: ApexSqlLog2008.log
• - All application logs, both client and server-side, are now in UNICODE
• - Evaluation period for each server has been changed from 30 to 14 days
• - The following methods of ApexSql.Log.ServerSideComponentsManager class have been marked as obsolete:
         ForceStartConnectionMonitor
         DisableConnectionMonitor
         InstallComponents
         UninstallComponents
