What's new?

More informative error messages for database connection issues during restoration. The restoration script tries to infer which part of the database connection information provided was the one which caused a problem connecting to the database. It will therefore provide more accurate error messages along with recommendations on how to resolve the issue.

Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.
