Changes Since 8.0.0

*Enhancements
*The driver has been enhanced to support the Google BigQuery Storage API when fetching large result sets. See Google BigQuery Storage API and Storage API attributes for details.
Currently, the Storage API is supported only on Windows 64-bit, Linux 64-bit, and JVM 64-bit. If an application attempts to use the Storage API on an unsupported platform, the driver falls back to the Standard API.
*Changed Behavior
*The default value of the SchemaSet configuration option has been changed to the project and dataset specified at connection. For details, see SchemaSet (Config Option)

Highlights of 8.0.0 Release

*The driver supports both standard and legacy Google BigQuery SQL dialects. See Standard and Legacy SQL Support for more information.
*The driver serves as a complete pass-through driver. It leverages Google BigQuery SQL engine to execute queries.
*The driver supports create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
*The driver returns data for complex data types, such as Array and Struct, as JSON strings, which are easy to comprehend for ODBC applications. See Json Format for more information.
*The driver provides proxy support. See Proxy Host, Proxy Password, Proxy Port, and Proxy User for more information.
*The driver supports the handling of large result sets with configurable paging and the Fetch Size and WSFetch Size connection options.
