Maintenance Release: Migrating from CodePlex to GitHub
- Updated code, installer, and wiki to reference GitHub URLs.
- Moved user guide into wiki for ease of access.
- Added license, changelog, and readme per GitHub conventions.
- Made install script compatible with InnoSetup 5.5.9.
- Removed option for different binaries due to large address space; not needed since WinXP.
- Removed option for adding to Quick Launch; deprecated since Win7.
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Swapped in enhanced ComboBox for file selectors that now shows the full file paths in a tooltip for each item in the dropdown history list (CleanCode library).
- Added support for binary field types in a DB result set, overcoming an inherent weakness in the .NET DataGridView control (CleanCode library).
- Updated from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010.
- Switched from .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.5 obviating the need for LinqBridge library.
Maintenance Release
Defect Fixes:
- Issue # 3: Database dropdown for connection editor may be empty depending upon DB permissions
- Issue # 4: Cannot resolve work item macro, invalid id.
IMPROVEMENTS:
- About Box now displays regional and language settings in effect.
- SDF now notices if user locale changes from the system control panel. The only visible manifestation of this currently is if you right-click the header row of a result grid to open its context menu, then view the submenu with date formatting choices.
- Changed database dropdown for connection editor to display non-system DBs only by default but with the shift key to also include system DBs.
- Fixed Connection Editor to retain correct details of currently selected connection after saving the connection set.
- In meta-query library (SQL Server only), deleted DatabaseName column from several queries because their domain is always the current database.
- In meta-query library (SQL Server only), standardized field names in several queries.
- In meta-query library (SQL Server only), added/modified ORDER BY clauses in several queries to eliminate warning messages when TurboSort is enabled at the time a meta-query is executed.
- Installer now includes a shortcut for the user guide as a stub, directing user where to download the actual user guide.
- Help menu now includes a menu item to open the user guide. If the user has already downloaded the separate user guide, it just opens. If not, SDF prompts the user to download it.
Very minor updates to the user manual are pending.
Maintenance Release
An embedded user control inadvertently assumed US regional and language settings; with non-US settings the application crashed during startup. The user manuals are unchanged from the previous release.
