New IBExpert Version 2012.02.21 available

News from ibexpert page
New Data import, Extract metadata and Search metadata features, new IBEBlock functions, and more

New features include:

1. Data import: now you can convert Boolean values to smallint values when importing data into a new table. You can also now automatically generate simple column names for the target table.
2. To-Do list: now you can duplicate To-Do items.
3. Extract metadata: New Always include COLLATE option.
4. Search metadata: New Do not search in comments option.
5. New IBEBlock functions and features.
6. Many small bug fixes and minor improvements.

Since version 2011.12.01 IBExpert now uses the Firebird database and Firebird Embedded 2.5 to store all IBExpert data (registered databases, query histories etc.) by default. In previous versions by default IBExpert stored this data in the IBExpert.stg file and the user was able to change this manually in Options / Environment Options / User Database. Working with IBExpert.stg is still possible (for example, if you disable the User Database manually), but you will get a warning every time you start IBExpert, and we will not support this method in the future.
