ENHANCEMENTS
The installer program has been enhanced to support Azul Zulu JRE 11. As a result of this change, the installer has ended support for some of the old operating systems. The installer supports the following operating systems after the enhancement:*

The driver has been enhanced to support the Bearer token authentication.*
CHANGED BEHAVIOR
The default value of the AuthenticationMethod connection property has been changed to BearerToken.*
