Error - panic: Invalid encryption method ("" not in "none, dpapi")

With the latest 0.15.3 version I'm getting the following error:

> sqlcmd --version
panic: Invalid encryption method ("" not in "none, dpapi")

Simole fix is in the release notes. (You have a sqlconfig file from an older release)

[yorek]

Got it, thanks!

[stuartpa]

From release notes fix is:

NOTE: For users of previous versions, if you have an old sqlconfig file, and get a "panic: Invalid encryption method", edit the ~/.sqlcmd/sqlconfig file and replace "password-encrypted: false" to "password-encryption: none".

You won't see this in the next dot release.

So, shouldn't be the config file now set to "v2"? That way you can easily raise an more friendly error if a previous version is detected. (or, even better, just automatically update). Using winget I have no way to get to the release notes.

This was just a bug, a file didn't get checked in off my machine. But yes, in the future we need full version support for the sqlconfig schema.
