- 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.
