What's new in version 3.1?

1. Dutch localization was added to IB Manager distribution package. Now six languages are supported: English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Russian. This list will expand from version to version. You can change the program language by the "Options -> Select program language..." menu item. IB Manager also allows you to select your language preference at first
startup.

2. Visual Query Builder was updated to the latest version of EMS QueryBuilder suite
(http://www.ems-hitech.com/querybuilder/).
A lot of small improvements and corrections. (*)

3. Database Tools (e.g. SQL Editor, Visual Query Builder, Visual Database Designer) now switch to the active database automatically each time when the tool window becomes active.

4. Visual Database Designer: a possibility to hide/show grid in database objects was added. This option is available in the Visual Database Designer window through the Show Grid In Objects item of the Display Mode button drop-down menu. (*)

5. SQL Script: now the database drop-down list updates itself in compliance with the databases currently active and reverts to its initial state if the assigned database closes.

6. User Manager window behavior was changed. It is not a modal window now and it looks like other child windows of the application.

7. Print Metadata window has also changed its style. (*)

8. Visual Database Designer & Visual Query Builder: these two windows were redesigned to avoid undesirable toolbar behavior. (*)

9. Login prompt dialog appears now if password is not specified in the database registration info.

10. "FDB" file extension became a registered file type. Now you're able to register/open FireBird databases by executing database files from Windows shell.

11. Some corrections were applied to the User Manager. Adding role and some other functionality is now available.

12. Fixed bug with "List index out of bounds" error in the Search In Metadata function. Several minor bugs were also fixed.

13. Compare Scripts Wizard: fixed bug with CHAR/VARCHAR fields which have default values containing more than one word.

14. DB Explorer: fixed bug with disappearing object names in the SQL Assistant after switching from the Databases tab to the Windows tab and back
again.

15. Some minor bugfixes and small improvements.

(*) -- Professional Edition only
