SQL 2016 CTP 2.3 has been released

A new monthly release of the SQL Server 2016 preview has been released: CTP 2.3.
You can find the download here (the official SQL Server 2016 page currently still links to CTP 2.2).

There isn’t any official documentation out yet describing which features have been added or improved, but thanks to Dutch MVP Joost (blog | twitter) we already know there are custom logging levels for SSIS (hooray!).

I’ll update this blog post as soon as more information is released.

Update: it seems the What’s new for SQL Server 2016 page has been updated.

Update 2: More links:
