What You've Been Missing in SSMS
summary
Release notes say SSMS 20 ships with updated Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, SMO and DacFx and a changed connection dialog that defaults encryption from optional to mandatory encryption (imported settings can mask that). Object Explorer lets users drag tables/columns into queries, script all indexes at once, and view client calls in the Output window. Roadmap calls out a new installer and 64‑bit move via VS2022 shell, a major connection UI overhaul and saved‑connection features in SSMS 21; debugger and official dark mode are not yet on the roadmap.
