Introduction
------------
This is a beta version of the new MySQLGUI version 1.7.2
This release has few new features, of which one is very important,
and it also contains several bug fixes.
If you are using a binary package, you do not have to build mysqlgui
yourself. All you have to do is to run it. You may change location of
Options file and Help file in (~).my.cnf or in /etc/my.cnf (on Windows it is
c:/my.cnf), but if you do not specify path names, mysqlgui will default to
it's own values.
Bug fixes in this release
-------------------------
- Buffer overflow in process dialogue caused SIGSEGV's * FIXED
- Changing query execution in screeen, then in count, then back to screen
caused SIGSEGV's ************ FIXED
- Options dialogue could have been opened several times, which resulted
in SIGSEGV's ************** FIXED
- NULL's were not displayed properly ******* FIXED
- MySQLGUI did not honour standard options file properly, did not read
several options properly, especially socket file path * FIXED
- Many other smaller bugs fixed
New features in this release
----------------------------
- NULL's are not scrollable nor editable now in a spreadsheet
- Proper execution of SQL questions now erases last error in the message
box at the bottom of the main window
- History maintenance has been added. As it has been implemented before,
clicking the left mouse button on history browser puts a command in
editor. When right mouse button is released on a query in history browser,
it executes command immediately. Since this version, clicking on a query
in history browser with both mouse buttons or with middle mouse button
will erase a query from both a browser and history file. As both mysqlgui
and mysql monitor program can share a single history file, this feature
enables fast and simply query history maintenance
- New important feature has been added to the spreadsheet. If clicked once
or twice on a cell containing some large data, zooming will be performed.
Simply, then entire contents of the column will be displayed in a separate
window. Just like as with any other dialogue in mysqlgui, user can open as
many of these windows as necessary. Each of them will carry a label which
identifies it uniquely. So far, the following data types are identified
and zoomed:
- Text
- HTML
- JPEG (JPG) images
Other binary types are presented as escaped text.
We plan to support in future GIF and PNG image formats too. We do not plan
to enable zooming on audio/video, as it could be hardly called zooming.
If some additional data types, beside the above presented should be
supported, please let us know.
Beside viewing your data, you can now copy the entire contents of part of
the contents for pasting in some other applications (this is supported for
TEXT and HTML only). Selecting of the text for cutting / copying is done
in the following manner :
Selection of the lines is done in Macintosh style: clicking an item turns
off all the others and selects that one, dragging selects all the items
the mouse moves over, and shift + click toggles the items.
