Now that the move to Google Code is nearly 2 years ago, all
SourceForge related stuff for HeidiSQL was removed today. That
includes three mailing lists on which you probably were
subscribed:
* heidisql-devel
* heidisql-issues
* heidisql-commits
The first one was only used internally. The second and third one
can be easily replaced by the update RSS feed at Google Code.
Hoping everyone is alright with this removal. This step should
also help to decrease the large amount of emails we get every
day.

Both grids in "Data" and "Query" tabs now support a variable row
height. Very useful if you like to see more than the first line
of text in table cells at once. Just increase the option "Lines
of text in grid rows" in "Tools" > "Preferences" > "Data"
to a higher value.
Above the data grid, you will notice two new buttons for "Next"
and "Show all". The grid loads table data in chunks of 1,000
rows. So, "Next" loads the next chunk of 1,000 rows, and "Show
all" loads the entire table, up to a maximum of 100,000 rows.
Both values are customizable via "Tools" > "Preferences" >
"Data".
The good thing is: normally you won't need to click any of these
two buttons, because:
A) "Next" is automatically executed when you have the last row
focused and the press the PageDown key. So, if you hold down the
PgDn key, you will see Heidi loads data on demand in a larger
table.
B) Both buttons …

Shortly after I posted my last summary of MySQL releases, our son Mats was born and I went on a 2.5-week vacation. Our developers did not rest in the meanwhile and I'd like to give you a quick update of what's new since then:
- Visual Studio 2010 RC support
- Nested transaction scope support
- Fixed 67 bugs
- Saving your profile/connection passwords in OSX keychain, gnome-keyring or in an encrypted password-vault-file.
- New rapid development features for generating complete SQL …

We just noticed that the libmysql.dll shipped with the 4.0
and 5.0 beta releases does not work as expected with the above
mentioned SSL keys. So, if you run into some access violation in
such cases, you will need a fresh one, can by copied from a
MySQL/Win32 server installation, located in the "bin"
directory.
However, I will release a second Beta as soon as possible so you
can forget my above notice soon.

If you update to the latest build now, you will find a bunch of
new SSL fields, used to select certificates and keys needed to
connect to a SSL featured MySQL server. Thanks to SuperNiFF for
posting most relevant code.
Second thing is, you can specifiy a startup
script now. This is a simple way to execute one or more
customized queries automatically when you connect to a server.
Just select a SQL file here and HeidiSQL runs that as soon you
have a connection established.

This morning I checked planet.mysql.com and to my surprise I found that a topic from our (Webyog) Forums (http://www.webyog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5066) was syndicated to planet.mysql.com. I am not able to understand how that could happen. To my best knowledge I never asked for it. However I do not mind personally if somebody else found a way to syndicate this particular post. It may be useful for somebody. But who owns the right to syndicate that Forums topic really? The user that originally posted in our Forums? Me? Or Santa Claus maybe? I would not do myself without the accept from the poster of the topic.
In our Blog (http://www.webyog.com/blog) we have an option to set a ‘mysql’ category for a post. What posts appear marked with that category get syndicated. Until now …

Two minor news today about nice new stuff in HeidiSQL:
1. Rewritten search + replace dialog. Previously HeidiSQL used a
default dialog provided by the Windows API, supporting only a
small feature set, and including some nasty focussing bugs.
Anyway, the new dialog can be used to find or replace stuff in
your query editors and supports Perl compatible regular
expressions, as implemented in SynEdit:
Shortcuts: Ctrl+F to find, Ctrl+R to replace, F3 to find/replace
repeatedly
2. Customize log messages: In the preferences dialog you will
find some new checkboxes, allowing you to decide which type of
messages you want to see in your log panel. In fact I added a new
tab just for "Logging" as the first page "Miscellaneous" got a
bit crowded.

If the MySQL site (including documentation) isn't working for you, try a mirror site.
"But," you ask, "how do I know what the mirror sites are if I can't access the site?"
Great question! Technocation has a mirror site (updated daily) at http://technocation.org/mirror/mysql/.
Also, we have purchased www.mysqlmirrors.com which points to the official list of mirrors at http://technocation.org/mirror/mysql/downloads/mirrors.html.
