+| Enhancement  | Migration Toolkit now allows the user to specify one or more options via an options file. This makes it easier to manage a long list of object names.                         |                      |
+| Enhancement  | The validation capability of command-line options now reports more relevant error messages with a reference to the invalid option name/value and its usage.                   | #38264               |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed an issue where a column value that falls in the daylight saving time slot for a MS SQL Server timestamp column was being changed when migrating to EPAS.                | #103780 <br/> #35739 |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed an issue where the name of an Oracle database link was being truncated when migrated to EPAS.                                                                           | #35924               |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed an issue that caused a failure when migrating a source EPAS table column containing comments to a SQL Server destination database.                                      | #37044               |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed a corner case issue that caused an Oracle to EPAS migration to fail with a “Connection closed” error when the source schema contained a fairly large number of objects. | #35593               |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed an issue where an Oracle table with multi-byte character name failed to migrate in dblinkOra mode.                                                                      | #101817 <br/> #35497 |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed an issue that caused a migration from EPAS to Oracle to fail for a TIMESTAMP type with explicit precision specification.                                                |                      |
+| Bug&nbsp;fix | Fixed a corner case issue where NULL constraints failed to migrate when migrating from an SQL Server source database to an EPAS destination database.                         |                      |
