FlameRobin 26.9.4 Release Notes

FlameRobin v26.9.4 is a maintenance release addressing live database properties form refreshing, embedded web view keyboard event interception, cache bypassing on reloads, and RFC 4122 UUID formatting for OCTET CHAR(16) fields in DataGrid.

Highlights & Key Improvements

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

• WebView DOM Keyboard Event Interception: Fixed an issue where pressing Ctrl+R or F5 had no effect when keyboard focus was inside the embedded HTML properties view. Injected a DOM keydown event listener in PrintableHtmlWindow to capture F5, Ctrl+R / Cmd+R, and Ctrl+W / Ctrl+F4 directly inside WebView2 / WebKit and route them to fr://refresh and fr://close_frame.
• Browser Cache Bypassing: Added unique sequence numbers and timestamps to generated temporary HTML URLs so that Chromium / WebKit does not serve stale cached pages on reloads.
• Database Statistics & Connected Users Querying: Explicitly invoked Database::loadProperties() in MetadataItemPropertiesPanel::loadPage() before processing the template to ensure all database statistics, transaction counters, and connected users are freshly re-queried from Firebird.
• Active Transactions Query: Populated activeTransactions in FbCppDatabase::getInfo() by querying MON$TRANSACTIONS for CURRENT_CONNECTION.
• Automated Regression Testing: Added test coverage in database_properties_refresh_test for property invalidation and reload workflows.

2. OCTET CHAR(16) / UUID Display Formatting in DataGrid (#714)

• Fixed an issue where 16-byte binary/OCTET character columns representing UUIDs were rendered in the query DataGrid and export as unprintable characters or raw hex escapes.
• Implemented automatic UUID canonical format (8-4-4-4-12 hex string with hyphens, e.g. 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc) detection and formatting for 16-byte OCTET fields while preserving raw binary export.
