Version 2.0 build 14 (2021-03-03)
Bug fixes:
- the program crashes on opening a workspace after closing another one
Version 2.0 build 12 (2021-02-21)
Improvements:
- The program partially supports Unicode/UTF now. The editor works with European languages w/o any issues
but eastern characters are not supported mainly because the Windows monospaced fonts are actually not
fixed-width for those code pages. The data grid, on other hand, should handle any texts.
- New docking window framework
The control panels like "File Panel", "History", "Open Files", "Object Viewer" can be docked more easily,
as well as stacked in tabs. Additionally panels can "Auto hide" in the docking mode. The window tab control
workbook is more functional and nicer than in the version 1.9.
- The external grep program was replaced with the internal implementation which is faster and more functional.
Bug fixes for earlier 2.0 version:
- Autocompletion for table columns and procedure fails with the timeout error.
- Tortoise Git menu does not appear in the file context menu
- Hanging on attempt to send email
Version 1.9 build 18 (2018-12-06)

- added Copy "Text" column to the Output context menu
- added the toolbar button to enable/disable readonly session
Bug fixes:
- stop using hint RULE with unknown Oracle versions
- The "Copy all" command formated "plain text" is missing a end-of-line in the last line.
probably other copy commands have to be revised but I'll do that in the unicode version

Version 1.6 build 11 (2011-11-15)

package/type functions and procedures,
parameters for stand alone functions and procedures,
"references" tables for tables (the old "referenced tables" node was renamed
to "referenced by")
- "Object Viewer" behavior was changed slightly. If a found object is a package or type
then its specification is automatically displayed (the old implementation wants user
to select one of them).
- Highlighting for user objects. Objects are selected by the current schema
rather then user. Quoted identifiers are not supported.
"Refresh object cache" command was added under "Session" menu.
- "Safety" combo box was replaced with "Read Only" checkbox in Connection dialog.
"Read Only" toggled item was added under "Session" menu.
- "Slow network" checkbox was added in Connection dialog.
if this option is checked then "Object List" and "Object cache" are not refreshed
automatically on connect.
- The program can connect to a database that is mount but not open.
The same should apply to ASM instance. The feature was taken from SQLTools++.
- Text selection by mouse should be smoother on older computers
Bug fixes:
- "Object Viewer" is incompatible with Oracle 8.0.X (broken in 1.5 build 21/22)
- DDL reengineering returns wrong column size for CHAR types in AL32UTF8 database

- "File Manager" shows file/folder information in tooltips
- "File Manager" settings page has been added to control new features
Version 1.6 build 4 (2011-10-20)
Improvements:
- "Execute Current" is smarter now, you do not need to place the cursor
on the first line of a statement before execution. It finds the beginning
of the the statement based script syntax rules (statements have to be
separated by ';' and '/' for PL/SQL stuff). If you like old TOAD style execution
then it is supported too (check "Execute Current Alt"). The new settings page
allows change default behavior for these 2 commands.
- Bulk execution commands "Execute" and "Execute from "Cursor position" have
"Halt Execution On Error" option. That works like in SQLTools++ but it first shows
an error and then asks if you want to cancel or continue script execution.
- Additionally single statement execution commands can highlight and automatically
show the beginning and end of the current statement.
- the editor does not have 64K line limitation, now it can handle 2GB lines in theory.
- "File Panel" restores the last selected tab when application restarts
- improved stability of XML settings storage and recovery encrypted connection
information.

- added JOIN, INNER, OUTER to sql keywords (remove old language.xml)

before searching for an object
- improved cursor position / selection indicator has been borrowed from sqltools++
- commit/rollback dialog on exit allows cancel exit
- block indent keeps a selection anchored to a text
- DDL reengineering supports compound triggers for 11g
- DDL reengineering supports constraints on views
- DDL reengineering supports NOVALIDATE and RELY for constraints
bug fixes:
- deleting selection extended beyond EOF causes EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
- the application hangs if user sets either Indent or Tab size to 0
- /**/ comments after END of a procedure cause a compilation error
- DDL reengineering fails on wrapped pl/sql procedures
because all_source.text might contain multiple code lines
- block undent does not work correctly if Tab size > Indent size

- some bug fixes taken from sqltools++ by Randolf Geist
- DDL reengineering fails on IOT tables w/o overflow
Version 1.5 build 14 (2011-09-01)
SQLTools has been released under GNU GPL v3 (updated from v2 to v3).
"Find Object" <F12> and "Load DDL script" <Ctrl>+<F12> use an updated object name resolver
that can handle ALTER SESSION SET CURREN_SCHEMA = <Schema>
Improvements in DDL reverse engineering:
- implemented PARALLEL clause for tables, indexes and clusters
- implemented event triggers
Improvements in "Object List (Alt+3)":
- Schema list control got new addition to the context menu.
It allows quick switch between previously selected schemas (session live scope)
- Changed a default action for the table list. <DblClick> will load DDL
instead of switching to "Object Viewer". <Alt>+<DblClick> will show the
current selection in "Object Viewer"
- <Del> accelerator is not linked with "Drop" action anymore for safety reason.
You should use <Ctrl>+<Del> as a short cut for "Drop"
A minor bug fix for Drag&Drop from Grid component

- improved keyboard navigation in "Object List"
- added Recyclebin to "Object List"
- improved error handling for "Extract Schema DDL"
- implemented DDL reverse engineering for partitioned tables and indexes
