Release Notes

Stable Release 6.1.0 - 2025-07-25

This update brings the following changes since the
6.0.2 stable release:

Added

Added dedicated SQL Server vector datatype support

What Changed:

  • Optimized vector communications between MDS and SQL Server 2025, employing a
    custom binary format over the TDS protocol.
    (#​3433,
    #​3443)
  • Reduced processing load compared to existing JSON-based vector support.
  • Initial support for 32-bit single-precision floating point vectors.

Who Benefits:

  • Applications moving large vector data sets will see beneficial improvements
    to processing times and memory requirements.
  • Vector-specific APIs are ready to support future numeric representations with
    a consistent look-and-feel.

Impact:

  • Reduced transmission and processing times for vector operations versus JSON
    using SQL Server 2025 preview:
    • Reads: 50x improvement
    • Writes: 3.3x improvement
    • Bulk Copy: 19x improvement
    • (Observed with vector column of max 1998 size, and 10,000 records for each
      operation.)
  • Improved memory footprint due to the elimination of JSON
    serialization/deserialization and string representation bloat.
  • For backwards compatibility with earlier SQL Server Vector implementations,
    applications may continue to use JSON strings to send/receive vector data,
    although they will not see any of the performance improvements noted above.

Revived .NET Standard 2.0 target support

What Changed:

  • Support for targeting .NET Standard 2.0 has returned.
    (#​3381)
  • Support had previously been removed in the 6.0 release, with the
    community voicing concerns.

6.1.0-preview2

Preview Release 6.1.0-preview2.25178.5 - 2025-06-27

This update brings the following changes since the 6.1.0-preview1 release:

Revived .NET Standard 2.0 target support

What Changed:

Who Benefits:

  • Libraries that depend on MDS may seamlessly target any of the following frameworks:
    • .NET Standard 2.0
    • .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
    • .NET 8.0
    • .NET 9.0
  • Applications should continue to target runtimes.
    • The MDS .NET Standard 2.0 target framework support does not include an actual implementation, and cannot be used with a runtime.
    • An application's build/publish process should always pick the appropriate MDS .NET/.NET Framework runtime implementation.
    • Custom build/publish actions that incorrectly try to deploy the MDS .NET Standard 2.0 reference DLL at runtime are not supported.

Impact:
