FlameRobin 26.8.0 Release Notes

We are pleased to announce the release of FlameRobin version 26.8.0. This release features key improvements to transaction terminology to better align with Firebird's architecture, alongside a streamlined user interface for executing stored procedures and functions.

🚀 Key Improvements & Features

1. Corrected Transaction Settings Terminology (#667)

• Accurate Isolation Levels: Renamed the misleading "Dirty read" label to Read committed (record version). Since Firebird does not support standard read uncommitted/dirty read isolation levels, this correction reflects the true database engine behavior.
• Clarity on Read Committed: Renamed the basic "Read committed" option to Read committed (no record version) to ensure developers have absolute clarity when configuring their transactions.
• System-wide Integration: Status bars, query option panels, configuration definitions (conf-defs/fr_settings.confdef), and unit tests have been updated to ensure consistency throughout the application.

2. Streamlined Stored Procedure & Stored Function UI (#668)

• Direct Routine Execution: Double-clicking a stored procedure/function, or selecting "Execute" from the context menu, now directly invokes the interactive executor dialog (handling parameter types, NULL markers, and presenting outcomes in a clean data grid) instead of launching a raw template.
• Feature Parity for Functions: Added missing Copy Call Signature and Generate Execution Template actions to Stored Functions, achieving complete feature parity with Stored Procedures.
• Reduced Context Menu Clutter: Removed redundant "Interactive Execute Routine..." context menu options, cleaning up the overall object context menus.
• Activated Items Update: Activated Stored Functions now correctly trigger execute/metadata expansion actions.
