AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Removed outdated information about Babelfish versions and SSMS, updated sqlcmd version requirements, and added notes about SSMS version 19.2+ requiring Babelfish 3.5.0+ for Object Explorer and Babelfish 5.1.0+ using TLS by default.
Security assessment
The change updates version compatibility and adds a note about TLS being enabled by default in newer Babelfish versions, which is a security feature. However, there is no indication that this change is in response to a security vulnerability or incident.
