Hi all,
This is mostly a bug-fix release, probably a first ‘stable’ 0.8
version without major bugs. Windows, Linux and Mac OS X binaries and
source code package are available for download. I recommend all Linux
distribution packagers to upgrade (especially if you still use 0.8.3
or lower). Here’s the changelog since 0.8.3:
New features
– DataGrid: BLOB data is now (optionally) shown in cells. Read-only for now.
– DataGrid: A basic ORDER BY clause building when column header is
double-clicked
– Support for LIST function in Firebird 2.1
– Support for MON tables in Firebird 2.1 (Read-only for now.)
Enhancements and Bug fixes
– DataGrid: FR no longer crashes when transaction has ended
(commit/rollback) and grid edit control is active
– DataGrid: Complete string is now shown for editing and copying multiline text
– DataGrid: Copy command now copies a single cell if nothing is selected
– DataGrid: Fixed mixup between BLOB ID and data it contains
– DataGrid: Fixed bug when editing or deleting in grid causes exceptions.
– DataGrid: Successfully deleted rows are deselected, so user can
easily see what is done.
– DDL extraction for GRANTs now only quotes names when needed
– DDL extraction for defaults does not use double quotes anymore.
– Database property page now shows minor ODS version when it is not zero
– Hovering over icons in privileges window, now really shows the grantor
– Improved parsing of SELECT statements
– Support for INSERT..RETURNING and EXECUTE STATEMENT that return a
single record
– Fixed messagebox flood when Execute Procedure called and it doesn’t
return anything
– Print preview and SaveToHtmlFile works again for manual and changelog
– Extracting invalid DDL (missing domain data in system tables) does
not crash FR anymore
– Silent installation (on Windows) does not show changelog window anymore
– Autogenerated domains (system domains) do not show up in the tree anymore
– Added ALTER DOMAIN action for domains
– Tree now shows NOT NULL for columns that inherit NOT NULL from domain
– Fixed parsing bug when non-reserved keyword is used as identifier
– Fixed autocomplete for selectable procedure alias when procedure
call contains parameters (in PSQL)
Enjoy.

Next IB LogManager release 2.9.0 BETA with Firebird 2.1 database trigger support
The next IB LogManager release 2.9.0, which is currently in BETA, will have support for Firebird 2.1 database triggers. This allows you to create a log entry e.g. when someone connects to the database or disconnects from the database. Or even transaction starts and commits can be logged. This is very useful if you need more enhanced auditing capabilities.
Beside database trigger support, version 2.9.0 will also have the following enhancements:
– NULL states in log data grids are shown with a user-definable color now.
– Better visual support for partially registered tables and operations by using separate icons.
– Fully register a database for logging after showing the partially analyzed database dialog.
– MUCH better filtering capabilities in logging schema.
If you would like to give IB LogManager 2.9.0 BETA a try, please send an email to “t.steinmaurer AT upscene.com”.
