After a year of development the stable version of 1.1 is finally available. It can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28383&release_id=121639 Many thanks to all the people who contributed to this release. The full change log will be copied up to the website tonight. The major changes include: Plugin Architecture Added ------------------------- SQuirreL now supports plugins. These are applications written in Java thatrun within SQuirreL. This allows developers to enhance the functionality of SQuirreL without having to rebuild the SQuirreL application itself. Some of the plugins that have been written for SQuirreL include the jEdit plugin, Look and Feel Plugin, MySQL plugin, Oracle Plugin, Session Scripts plugin, SQL Scripts plugin, and the SQL Validator plugin. SQL Execution Enhanced ---------------------- Multiple SQL statements can be executed simultaneoulsy or sequentially. The results of these queries are now displayed in multiple tabs and these tabs can be "torn off" Many more data types are now displayed. Undo/redo support has been added to the SQL entry area. Meta data is now available for the results of SQL execution. Object Tree Enhancements ------------------------ The object tree code has been rewritten and now executes faster. JDBC Drivers ------------ Multiple jar files (and directories) can now be specified for a JDBC driver. You can now list the JDBC driver classes within a jar file. General ------- The licence for the application has been changed from GPL to LGPL. SQL execution and object tree expansion now run in separate threads so that the user interface is still responsive. Tables can now be sorted by clicking on the column headers. Full column data in tables can now be displayed in a popup window by double clicking in the column. -- Colin Bell http://squirrel-sql.sf.net |
