The new CData Drivers 2024 release offers improved connectors and expanded data source options, including support for Cvent, HubDB, and Bitbucket. The release also features rewritten drivers for Marketo and AzureDevOps with enhanced capabilities and performance. In contrast, several older drivers have been deprecated due to low usage or development support, prompting users to upgrade to the 2024 version to access new features and improvements. Additionally, Connect Cloud is a self-service platform that enables users to leverage all CData Drivers in one platform for building multiple connections. The company encourages users to take advantage of the new features and offers support and resources to help with upgrades or questions.
