| Data masking | Fixed an issue where the datetime data masking functions weren't being recognized during project build. [GitHub issue](https://github.com/microsoft/DacFx/issues/476)|
57
+
| External models | Fixed an issue where external model dependencies on a database-scoped credential would cause project build to fail. |
58
+
| JSON | Fixed a bug when comparing JSON indexes with the default JSON path. |
| XML | Fixed an issue where the XML query path ([xQuery](../../xquery/xquery-language-reference-sql-server.md)) was not treated as case-sensitive during model comparison. Even on case-insensitive databases, the xQuery path is case-sensitive. [GitHub issue](https://github.com/microsoft/DacFx/issues/231)|
| SQL projects | The default compatibility level for Azure SQL Database and SQL database in Fabric is now set to 170. For more information, see [Database compatibility level 170 in Azure SQL Database and SQL database in Microsoft Fabric](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azuresqlblog/database-compatibility-level-170-in-azure-sql-database-and-sql-database-in-micro/4405102). |

SqlPackage is developed and released for both .NET 8 and .NET Framework. Installing the .NET 8 SqlPackage version is recommended via the [convenient `dotnet tool` method](#installation-cross-platform), which is cross-platform and easy to update, or via the [portable self-contained .zip download](#installation-file-download-alternative). The .NET 8 SqlPackage releases benefit from the continual advances to the performance and scalability of .NET as part of the [focus on for modern applications](/dotnet/core/introduction#net-ecosystem), which contrasts to the maintenance support of .NET Framework for Windows. The .NET Framework version is only available as a [.msi Windows installer](#windows-net-framework).
