10/15/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.7 released
Version 1.7 released. The multilingual support is implemented: now our software can be translated to any language. The Italian (thanks to Giuseppe Maxia and StarData s.r.l.) and French (thanks to Renaud Lepage) translations are included into the installation package. To change the application language, select it from the Main menu | Tools | Languages menu. It is also easy to translate MySQL Maestro to another language: just find the English.txt file in the MySQL Maestro\Languages directory, save it as YourLanguage.txt and translate all the strings from the file using any text editor e.g. Notepad or MS Word. If you send as a new translation, we'll provide you with a free business license of MySQL Maestro.
Other improvements and bug fixes:
1. The "Auto link tables by foreign keys" option is added to the Visual Query Builder settings. If this option is on, MySQL Maestro will automatically add links between tables when you add a new table to the Query Builder area. Of course this option works only if your MySQL server supports the foreign keys.
2. The Copy to Clipboard item is added to the Data Grid's popup menu. Use it to copy selected records to the Windows clipboard. Records in the clipboard are separated by the line break character. The Tab character is used to separate values within a record. To copy all the grid records at the same time, you can use the Select All item, which is added as well. Both these operations are also available through the main menu.
3. The Show Filter Panel and Show Subobjects buttons are added to the MySQL Maestro main tool bar.
4. The Ctrl+O and "Ctrl+D" shortcut keys are now associated with Object Manager and Database Profile Manager accordingly.

6. Since this version it is not necessary to close/open windows with data grids (e.g. Table Editor or SQL Editor) to apply the changes you made in the Options dialog.
7. Security Manager: now grants are set correctly for all MySQL servers (there were some problems with 3.23.xx versions).
8. Some other minor improvements and corrections.
08/25/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.6 released
Version 1.6 released. In this version we have implemented the support for views, which are available in MySQL starting from version 5.0.1. The views are usually used for more friendly representation of data selected from one or several tables. They also can be used to limit an access for data viewing or editing by users. Also we have adapted MySQL Maestro for managing stored procedures and functions, which are belong to individual database instead of a host starting from version 5.0.1 of MySQL server.
Several improvements and bug fixes:
| • | Retrieving of stored procedures and functions from a server does not require a user to have any permissions to the 'mysql' database; |
| • | Fixed bug in the Export Data Wizard with loading destination file format and file name from a template; |
| • | The popup window for parameters input appeared incorrectly in some cases; |
| • | Fixed bug in the SQL Script Editor with parsing negative numbers within the INSERT INTO statement in some cases; |
| • | Field list on the step for customizing Excel file format could contain duplicate values; |
| • | The "Server's host key did not match the signature supplied" error appeared during connection to some SSH servers. Now it is fixed. |
07/12/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.5 released
Version 1.5 released. In this version we have implemented a possibility to connect to a remote MySQL server using a secure protocol. The secure connection is established through the Secure SHell (SSH) tunnel, which guarantees a high security for the data transmission between a local PC and remote MySQL server. All the parameters for the SSH connection are stored in database profiles as extra properties, and can be specified as follows:
| • | In the Create Database Wizard, when you create a new database. In this case the SSH connection is established before the database is created, and all the SSH parameters are stored in the database profile, if an appropriate option is checked in the wizard. |
| • | In the Create Database Profile Wizard, when you register existing database(s). The SSH parameters are also stored in the database profiles. |
| • | In the Edit Database Profile dialog, when you edit an already registered database profile. |
Also MySQL Maestro can ask you for the SSH parameters when you attempt to retrieve user privileges or server variable list through the SSH tunnel in the Security Manager or Server Properties window.
| • | In addition to the described feature we have made some small improvements and several minor bug fixes. Here is a list of most important changes: |
| • | we've made the Export Data and Import Data wizards sizeable for easier navigation within their controls; |
| • | the columns containing a user name, user host, and database object are frozen in the Security Manager for convenience purposes now; |
| • | table type can be reported incorrectly in the Table Properties dialog with MySQL 4.1.3; |
| • | there could be a problem to create a new database if the server port number was different from the default one; |
| • | fixed bug with the 'commands out of sync' error occurred with executing subqueries in the SQL Editor in some cases. |
05/28/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.4 released
Version 1.4 released. Now it is possible to manage several table subobjects at once e.g.
| • | create/edit/drop all the indexes and foreign keys for a whole database. This feature is available in the Create Database Object dialog, which can be invoked from the Object menu; |
| • | drop several fields, indexes, or foreign keys at a time for a table: just select required objects at the proper page of the Table Editor and simply press the Del key; |
| • | copy several fields, indexes, or foreign keys from one table to another: you can do it using standard Copy/Paste functions or by drag-n-drop between two instances of the Table Editor. |
Several minor bugs were fixed:
| • | there were some troubles with copying tables containing foreign keys from one database to another; |
| • | the Copy Database wizard did not copy tables with foreign keys properly in some cases. The "Disable foreign key checks" option was added to the final step of the wizard to avoid this problem; |
| • | the Windows -> Close All menu item did not closed all child windows in some cases; |
| • | the database explorer did not restore its width after sequential hiding and showing by its splitter. |
04/09/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.3 released
In this version we have implemented the Object Manager - a feature-rich tool for easy manipulation of database objects. Now it is possible to work with tables, queries, procedures and other database objects as easy as it can be. Here are some examples, which demonstrate how you can use the new tool:
| • | you can open several database objects at a time; |
| • | you need to clear data from all database tables? Just open the Object Manager, press Ctrl+A, then choose Empty Tables from the popup menu; |
| • | in earlier versions of MySQL Maestro you can copy a table definition to the clipboard by Ctrl+C and then paste it in the same or different database. Now it is possible to process several tables at once; |
| • | it is also possible to drop several database objects at a time. Hope you will treat this tool carefully. |
| • | full drag-n-drop support is available: you can drag objects between the Object Manager and the Database Explorer as well as between two instances of the Object Manager; |
and much more.
The Object Manager starts automatically when you connect to a database. It is possible to disable this feature in the Options dialog as well as call the Object Manager manually from the Object menu.
We also have fixed several bugs:
| • | the Diagram Viewer did not clear the list of fields after switching to another database using combo box in the Database group area. This bug could cause some instability of the application; |
| • | the Move Up/Move Down menu items did not work in the field list on the second step of the Create Table wizard; |
| • | some steps of the Create New Procedure and Create New Function wizards did not open the proper help topic after clicking on the Help button. |
03/08/2004 - MySQL Maestro 1.2 released
The main feature of this version is the Diagram Viewer. It is a tool for representing data from a table or a query as a diagram in various ways. Also the Diagram Viewer has the Export diagram image feature, as well as the Export diagram data one, with a lot of formats supported. The interface of the new tool is liked to BLOB Viewer, so we hope it will be easy to use.
Some technical details:
| • | you can save the diagram as Bitmap, PDF, JPEG, GIF, PostScript, Metafile, VML, PNG, or PCX file. Of course it is possible to open the result file in the associated application (e.g. Paint, Acrobat Reader, Photoshop, etc) directly from MySQL Maestro; |
