–command,–file, or standard input. Remote cancellation requires Valentina Server 18.3 or later. - [Imp][Interactive mode] Ctrl-C now clears SQL being edited, including unfinished multiline statements. After cancelling a running query, you can continue using the same session.
- [Chg][Exit codes] Non-interactive commands interrupted with Ctrl-C now return exit code
130.
