Version 1.0.6 (Sep 30 2011)
-
New Feature: Supports the Caching of Objects and Server Debug logs. It can be enabled or disabled in the Manage Connections dialog.
-
New Feature: Added Data tab to the object details. Often one just want to preview the data to get a feel of the field values. To do that one has to execute the query and view the results and discard the SOQL editor. This process has been simplified with "Data" tab which shows random 500 records of that object.
-
New Feature: Scroll to Row or Column navigation has been added to Grid Actions. With this feature, one can select the column and that grid would scroll to that column to bring that into the view. this is very helpful in SOQL results where there can be many columns.
-
New Feature: View Records Count In previous versions, one could execute the select count() from object but that value was not shown. This has been fixed to show the value and also there is a easy menu item at object level to view its records count.
-
New Feature: Added exit confirmation to application. As more connections are added, much of session would have been built up like query details etc and it would be really inconvenient to lose all that by mistake clicking on close icon.
-
New Feature: Added "Check for Updates" We are planning to go for smaller and frequent releases. So it is really nice if user could start using the new features. However, they will not be able to remember to check for updates. This feature checks for new version on daily basis (by default but could change to other interval) and shows the recent changes.
-
Enhancement: Single Row dialog has been enhanced with blending icons and text where user can enter the row number to goto.
-
Enhancement: Showing the "Save Password" and "Caching Enabled" status of each connection in the Manage Connections dialog table.
-
Enhancement: Available popup options for object has been simplified with pushing the "Query" related into its own Submenu.
-
Enhancement: Search Fields has been enhanced with more options to search (like API, Label, Picklist etc) and matched areas are shown in the results.
-
Enhancement: Debug Logs has been split into Server and Local to be clear.
-
Enhancement: When selecting the "Open Salesforce Homepage" native browser is launched instead of internal browser
-
Bug Fix: Viewing the child records of a query was broken in previous release and that has been fixed.
Version 1.0.5 (Sep 13 2011)
-
New Feature: Master Password has been revamped. The old style master password was core Eclipse based where I didn't have lots of control. This would have led to issues in control in resetting the master password or removing it. New implementation is more reliable and allows exporting the connections with passwords.
Password is encrypted using 128 bit AES encryption with master password and random salt. So saved passwords are secure and without master password one cannot use the encrypted password.
-
New Feature: Export and Import of connections. You can export the connections with or without password and send the file to somebody and they will be able to import the connections. If passwords are exported, they would be exported with encrypted format and so one would need the master password to import it.
-
New Feature: Debug Logs feature has been added which lets user view all Server debug logs, and its contents. It also allows to save some of those logs locally for long time viewing.
-
New Feature: Execute Anonymous feature lets you execute anonymous apex, view the resulting debug log details.
-
New Feature: Apex History saves all executed anonymous apex scripts for later recall and reuse.
-
Enhancement: Objects Editor has been enhanced to include additional object details like activatable, queryable etc. It also displays the object summary like total fields, parent/child relationships and record types.
-
Enhancement: Object Details editor has been enhanced to display additional object level and field level details.
-
Enhancement: Export dialog has been enhanced to support exporting in different line encoding (native, Unix and Windows) and allows to select the fields to be included in the export (this could be used to exclude the 'Row No' while exporting soql results)
-
Enhancement: Export Formats. Google code data=exporter library (http://code.google.com/p/data=exporter/) is used to export the data which supports exporting in Json, Html, Xml, Csv, TextTable etc. This also support exporting the multi=line values in csv format.
-
Fixed: Bug 1 = "Less than" causes parse errors
-
Fixed: Bug 2 = Using date literals
-
Fixed: Object editor shows the object summary in the status message. This message wasn't updated when different object is activated but was pinned to last opened object. Issue has been fixed that now selected object summary is reflected.
