This is the first release of SQuirreL that specifically requires JDK 1.5 or higher to compile and run. The build scripts and the installer now check for at least Java 1.5 before proceeding.
Enhancements
New plugins provide enhanced capabilities:
Derby Plugin: Shows source SQL for views and triggers as well as further details about triggers
Informix Plugin: Shows source SQL for Stored Procedures, Triggers and Views as well as details for Sequences and Indexes. (Special thanks to Doug Lawry for data dictionary queries)
Refactoring Plugin: Allows you to view SQL alterations for several refactorings or apply them directly to existing tables. Refactorings supported are Add/Modify/Drop columns and Add/Drop Primary Key.
MS Excel export of displayed tables - thanks to André Schild for the patch
Enhancements to the Graph Plugin
Allows graphs to be saved as jpg images files instead of printing them
New right mouse menu item for tables: "View table in Object tree"
Made SQuirreL work with hxtt drivers. See www.hxtt.com. (Thanks to Yonghong Zhao for this patch)
DBCopy Plugin:
Added support for Informix and HADB. Special thanks goes to Lars Heill (Sun HADB) and Doug Lawry (IBM Informix) for help with installation/configuration and technical guidance regarding data types.
Promoted dialect framework to core to allow other plugins to use (Refactoring) - this version of DBCopy plugin (1.1) is now no longer compatible or supported for previous versions of SQuirreL.
Schema refresh on catalog combo box change: Schemas are refreshed automatically, when the user switches to another catalog. On systems that support Catalogs like Sybase or MSSQL, Schemas within a Catalog only become accessible when the catalog combo box is switched to the their Catalog. To make Schemas available in the Object Tree, Code completion etc. after a Catalog switch Schemas are now automatically refreshed. (Thanks to Stan Berka for this patch)
