TEAM v1.6.3

The new 1.6.3 version of the Taxonomy of ETL Automation Metadata (TEAM) contains further bug fixes, additional validation and ease-of-use improvements based on project feedback.

The result hopefully a new step in the right direction for this mapping management component of the ecosystem for Data Warehouse Automation.

A notable change that may have impact on existing implementations is the (improved) handling of prefixes and suffixes. This means that underscores '_' are now not automatically added. Existing keys and prefixes may need updating as a result. For example the key prefix SK or HSH may now need to be _SK or _HSH is the underscore needs to be retained. This is related to issue #73.

Main changes for this release:

• Added basic Data Vault validation
• Hiding of features not used when in physical model to clean up interface
• Added Json export features, including 'next-up' object in the lineage as relatedDataObject(s) and other related objects such as metadata connections.
• Removed the repository feature. This is meant to be ultimately deprecated and was only causing problems between versions for users. This is now always deployed as part of metadata activation.

Details on issues addressed are found in the (now closed) project for v1.6.3: https://github.com/RoelantVos/TEAM/projects/2.
