Kexi/Releases/Kexi 2.9 Beta
List of changes
Many usability improvements and bug fixes. Forms have finally been ported from Qt 3 to Qt 4.
- General:
- New: Simplify and automatize bug reporting; OS and Platform information is auto-selected on bugs.kde.org.
- New: Make side panes lighter by removing frames in all styles except Oxygen
- New: Added "Close all tabs" action to main window tabs.
- Improve appearance of main tabbed toolbar for GTK+ and Oxygen styles. (bug 341150)
- Improve handling permission errors on database creation. Do not allow to create a new SQLite-based .kexi file if: non-writable folder is selected, relative path is selected (unsafe), non-file path is selected (perhaps a folder).
- Do not crash when Kexi is unable to find plugins; display message and exit.
- Fix right-to-left user interface support in side panes.
- Simplify "Save password" checkbox text in database connection editor and add direct what's this button.
- Disable ability of setting left/right sidebars floatable (like in Dolphin, improve stability)
- Remove redundant 'find' action from the main toolbar. It's already available in local context where it really works.
- Move the 'Export data table' from the main toolbar to a local table and query object's menu.
- Improve user-visible messages.
- Forms:
- New: Port Kexi Forms to Qt4's scroll area, a milestone leading to Qt5-based Kexi.
- Improve translation support in Forms' action selection dialog
- Reports:
- New: Added inline editing for labels in Report Designer.
- New: Added "Do you want to open exported document?" question when report is exported to a Text/Spreadsheet/as Web Page.
- Print reports in High DPI (precision). (bug 340598)
