🎄 Enhancements

• Bytebase GitHub Actions will now try to reuse existing releases before creating new ones. If two releases have the same filenames and file contents, they are considered identical, reducing redundant releases when retrying.

• Terraform — Add support to configure masking exceptions for all databases by skipping database, table, and column, applying the exception across the entire project.

• Terraform — Add support for the sync_databases attribute in the instance resource, allowing you to specify which databases to sync (e.g., ["db1", "db2"]).

🌟 New Database CI/CD Experience

New database CI/CD experience is now enabled by default. The new layout splits a monolithic page into dedicated tabs for clearer information display and efficient batch change management:

• Overview tab displays general change details and approval status
• Changes tab lists database changes and their targets
• Rollout tab manages the deployment process
• In addition to the layout update, the new design also introduces the following new features:
  • Multi-task rollback.
  • Plan draft to stage changes.

Users can still switch back to the old layout via the profile dropdown in the top-right corner.
