Category: Tools & Products releases

Hi all,

This is mostly a bug-fix release, probably a first ‘stable’ 0.8
version without major bugs. Windows, Linux and Mac OS X binaries and
source code package are available for download. I recommend all Linux
distribution packagers to upgrade (especially if you still use 0.8.3
or lower). Here’s the changelog since 0.8.3:

New features
– DataGrid: BLOB data is now (optionally) shown in cells. Read-only for now.
– DataGrid: A basic ORDER BY clause building when column header is
double-clicked
– Support for LIST function in Firebird 2.1
– Support for MON tables in Firebird 2.1 (Read-only for now.)

Enhancements and Bug fixes
– DataGrid: FR no longer crashes when transaction has ended
(commit/rollback) and grid edit control is active
– DataGrid: Complete string is now shown for editing and copying multiline text
– DataGrid: Copy command now copies a single cell if nothing is selected
– DataGrid: Fixed mixup between BLOB ID and data it contains
– DataGrid: Fixed bug when editing or deleting in grid causes exceptions.
– DataGrid: Successfully deleted rows are deselected, so user can
easily see what is done.
– DDL extraction for GRANTs now only quotes names when needed
– DDL extraction for defaults does not use double quotes anymore.
– Database property page now shows minor ODS version when it is not zero
– Hovering over icons in privileges window, now really shows the grantor
– Improved parsing of SELECT statements
– Support for INSERT..RETURNING and EXECUTE STATEMENT that return a
single record
– Fixed messagebox flood when Execute Procedure called and it doesn’t
return anything
– Print preview and SaveToHtmlFile works again for manual and changelog
– Extracting invalid DDL (missing domain data in system tables) does
not crash FR anymore
– Silent installation (on Windows) does not show changelog window anymore
– Autogenerated domains (system domains) do not show up in the tree anymore
– Added ALTER DOMAIN action for domains
– Tree now shows NOT NULL for columns that inherit NOT NULL from domain
– Fixed parsing bug when non-reserved keyword is used as identifier
– Fixed autocomplete for selectable procedure alias when procedure
call contains parameters (in PSQL)

Enjoy.
