FlameRobin 26.8.8 Release Notes

FlameRobin v26.8.8 brings comprehensive locale-aware numeric parsing improvements, resolving issues with decimal commas, decimal points, and thousand grouping across data grids and parameter input dialogs.

Highlights & Key Improvements

Decimal Point vs Decimal Comma & Thousand Grouping Input Error Fix (#697)

• Universal Numeric Normalizer: Implemented normalizeNumericInput() in StringUtils to cleanly handle input differences between regional locales (such as Hungarian, German, French, and other European locales) and standard C/US conventions.
• Decimal Comma and Decimal Point: Accepts both 3,14 (comma from European locales and numpads) and 3.14 (dot) across all numeric fields.
• Thousand Grouping Support: Strips thousand grouping characters automatically prior to conversion:
• Space grouping (e.g. 123 456,78 $\rightarrow$ 123456.78 or 1 234 567.89 $\rightarrow$ 1234567.89)
• European dot grouping (e.g. 1.234.567,89 $\rightarrow$ 1234567.89)
• US comma grouping (e.g. 1,234,567.89 $\rightarrow$ 1234567.89)
• Scientific Notation & Sign: Fully preserves signs (-3,14 $\rightarrow$ -3.14, +42,5 $\rightarrow$ +42.5) and exponents (1,23e-4 $\rightarrow$ 1.23e-4, 2,5E+10 $\rightarrow$ 2.5E+10).
• Comprehensive Entry Point Coverage:
• Data grid cell editing (FloatColumnDef, DoubleColumnDef, IntegerColumnDef, Int64ColumnDef, Int128ColumnDef, Dec16ColumnDef, Dec34ColumnDef in DataGridRows.cpp).
• Parameter input dialogs (InsertParametersDialog.cpp).
• DECFLOAT parser (StringToDecParse in FRDecimal.cpp).
• Automated Regression Tests: Added unit test suites in firebird_type_utils_test and data_grid_date_test validating decimal comma, dot, and thousand-grouping scenarios.
