 ## UX 6.0
 We were working hard to make DbGate even more easy to use.
 
+### Keyboard navigation
 You could now use keyboard to navigate between tables and connections. We have implemented <strong>tab preview mode</strong> - tabs with <i>headers in italics</i> are used as preview, when you choose another table/view/procedure/connection, preview tab is reused, so you don't end with many opened tabs, if you need only quick check something.

+### Search in connections
+There are also singificant improvements in connection/database quick search. You could search by server or database name, even if server is not connected (database list is cached from last connection attempt).
+Eg. when you have database "Chinook" under connection named "My server", when you type "My chin", this database is correctly filtered. 
+
+### Procedure and function parameters
+DbGate now works correctly with parameters of stored procedures and functions. You could browse them in SQL objects tree, you could also use EXECUTE SQL template, then DbGate asks for requested parameters.

+## Improvements of API
 Unlike other database administration tools, DbGate has API for majority of lower-level operations. If you have some export/import, you could export the job as JavaScript file and run with Nodejs, independently on DbGate. You could also enhance or generalize this generated script, to get requested results. We have added generated documentation for supported operations. Now it contains only basic export/import operations, but it will grow soon.
 
+There was also huge optimalization of NPM packages used as driver plugins for scripts. Eg. SQL Server connector plugin was reduced eg. dbgate-plugin-mssql approx. 18x, from 1.34 MB to 71 kB.
