v3.8.0
edb4114

It is over 6 months since the previous version 3.7.0 was released and a lot has happened since, all the details on which are below and as you can see there is a lot! On MacOS X, this is our first release using Qt5, and it's worth noting we updated the underlying SQLite to version 3.9.2 (on both platforms) this is so we can support the changes made for 3.9.x which impact database schema, see https://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_9_2.html for these changes.

You will also notice a lot of "user experience" enhancements and fixes, so hopefully you will find this new release a pleasure to use. 😄
Happy Christmas!

Translations

Cross platform fixes

Notes for the MacOS X binaries

  • The OSX binaries were built on an OSX 10.9.5 system, and should be backwards compatible with OSX 10.7 and above (that's the theory anyway... 😉)
  • OS X 10.6 is no longer supported - DB4S always crashes on it, and we haven't been able to figure out why. OSX 10.7 and above work well though. If someone wants to investigate this in depth and get OSX 10.6 working again, that would be useful 😁
  • The normal release on OSX (without SQLCipher support), bundles SQLite 3.9.2
  • The SQLCipher supporting release on OSX bundles SQLCipher 3.3.1 (based on SQLite 3.8.10.2). If you need features from the new SQLite 3.9.x series, you'll have to do without SQLCipher support for now
