FlameRobin 26.9.3 Release Notes

FlameRobin v26.9.3 is a maintenance release addressing properties form refreshing, keyboard shortcut translation, and live metadata cache synchronization.

Highlights & Key Improvements

1. Database & Metadata Properties Form Refresh Fix (#717)

• Top-Level Accelerator & Shortcut Translation: Fixed an issue where pressing Ctrl+R or F5 had no effect when viewing the Database properties form or other metadata properties windows. Attached the keyboard accelerator table with Ctrl+R (wxID_REFRESH), F5 (wxID_REFRESH), Ctrl+W (wxID_CLOSE_FRAME), and Ctrl+F4 (wxID_CLOSE_FRAME) directly to MetadataItemPropertiesFrame (the top-level wxFrame), ensuring OS message loop processing and correct event dispatching to active tabs.
• Cross-Platform F5 Support: Enabled F5 unconditionally across all supported platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) instead of restricting to Windows.
• Child Focus & Embedded WebView Capture: Bound wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handlers across MetadataItemPropertiesFrame, PrintableHtmlWindow, and the embedded wxWebView control so keyboard shortcuts are captured seamlessly even when focus is inside the HTML view area.
• Context Menu Refresh: Added a convenient "Refresh (Ctrl+R)" option to the right-click context menu in PrintableHtmlWindow.
• Database Engine Invalidation: Overrode Database::invalidate() and Database::loadProperties() to immediately reload databaseInfoM and loadDatabaseInfo(), ensuring live transaction statistics, ODS/cache metrics, page counters, and active connected users are queried directly from the engine on refresh.
• Automated Regression Testing: Added database_properties_refresh_test unit test suite covering database properties invalidation, observer notifications, and cross-platform accelerator key configurations.
