Aqua Data Studio 22.2.0

There’s new release of Aqua Data Studio, version 22.2.0. The installation was simple. It installed itself into a new location so the old release is still available if I need it. All of my connections and modifications imported over successfully. This release introduces a dark theme (one of my favorites) and a java upgrade for better security. Licensed users can get the new release from the customer support portal. A 14 day trial version is available as well.
