20927 Release 8.1.0 of the Script-Languages-Container was integrated, which provides security related updates of several Ubuntu packages. Changed packages of SLC can be found at: https://github.com/exasol/script-languages-release/blob/master/doc/changes/package_diffs/8.1.0/standard-EXASOL-all/README.md
20847 The system table EXA_DB_SNAPSHOTS now uses corrected column names SNAPSHOT_ID instead of BACKUP_ID and SNAPSHOT_NAME instead of BACKUP_NAME. An additional column CREATION_TIME has been added. All snapshots are now displayed correctly, i.e. the entries in the SNAPSHOT_NAME column contain only the word snapshot and not snapshot_backup.
