Chive 1.0 released!

Written for chive by David Roth on 2011-12-09

I’m pleased to announce the release of chive 1.0!

Chive is a free, open source, web-based database management tool, designed to bring joy to web developers - with easy administration, super fast UI and state of the art web technologies.

Since the last release of the 0.5 series we fixed 10 Bugs and contributed some nice new productivity features:

Some key changes are:

- Support of table maintenance commands

Prior to chive 1.0, we did not support table maintenance commands like optimize/analyze table. It was always possible to execute these queries manually by typing the command, but this was obviously not very userfriendly. With 1.0 we added buttons for all of these commands so you can easily execute them via a button click on each table view.

- Remember Url when logging in.

Before this release, you could not copy and paste a chive url to the navigation-bar when you were not logged in. After entering the credentials, chive redirected you to the startpage and you had to re-paste the url.
This has changed and now chive remembers the url pasted in the navigation-bar when not logged in and redirects you to the correct page after login.

- Add search-icon to table name in the tablename list

With this improvement you can quickly jump to a table`s search list by clicking oh the glasses-icon in the list. This saves lots of time when you do repeated searches on different tables.

- Always show query execution time

As the query execution time is an important information, chive will display it on every executed query from now on.
We re-used chive`s notification-system so it will look similar like the profiling information.

Fixed Bugs:

#822305 Error when calling SQL procedure
#862088 Crash when triggering the edit
#825428 Uncheck null checkbox when editing row
#829995 about page/link doesn't update breadcrumb
#832172 Calendar widget on DATETIME fields does not insert seconds
#834560 buttons in insert function mixed up
#834580 Image resource path set through script path
#836525 Table maintenance commands error
#855573 no icon for language "en"
#855583 unify search and insert tab look
#853758 Remember URL when logging in
#855597 add search to table name shortcuts in the tablename list
#859492 Show query execution time
