* Introduce TAppSettings, created in dpr file
* Implement read and write methods, and replace callers of GetRegValue and MainReg.WriteInt/... with these
* Optimize read and write methods for avoiding redundant accesses to registry
* Auto-remove stored default settings from registry to avoid registry spam
* Replace synced MainForm.pref* variables with TAppSettings.Read* calls
* Move SetLocales call to dpr file
* Move MainForm.FDirname* variables to appropriate methods in helpers.pas
* Implement TQueryHistory.Create(SessionPath), reading its items within constructor
- Move QuoteIdent() and DeQuoteIdent() out of TMySQLConnection, make them classless
- Remove TMainForm.mask(), instead always use QuoteIdent()
- Introduce a third parameter to QuoteIdent(): "AlwaysQuote" - setting this to false will quote only if required
- Set AlwaysQuote to false for all stuff which drops some code into the query editor, see http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=6986
- Remove ensureValidIdentifier() and its partly uncatched exceptions. Instead, disable "OK" buttons for empty table/view/proc name.
- QuoteIdent and DeQuoteIdent now take the glue char instead of a "HasMultiSegments" boolean param, so they're more exact when "user@host" or "db.name" come in.
* Remove workaround for Unicode text to and from clipboard
* Fix writing/reading wrong encoded text into/from registry - no need to use Utf8Encode() any longer
* Implement TMySQLQuery.ColAsAnsi() for cases in which we read binary data.
* Removes TNT Unicode controls, which are no longer required. All VCL controls now have native Unicode support.
* Remove Delphi 11 packages, otherwise we would either need to keep TNT or break Unicode
* PngComponents update from Uwe Raabe on http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/26127
* Adjust auto build process
* Since Delphi 2009, Strings are now UnicodeStrings, not AnsiStrings any longer. Fix a bunch of compiler errors which came along with this change.
TODO: Project should compile but give tons of compiler warnings.
* Instead, use separate SHOW commands for tables, functions, procedures and triggers
* Catch this chance to move these methods from main unit to mysql_connection, so they're accessible in a more generic way
* Additionally, introduce new classes TDBObject and TDBObjectList which provide a more generic way than TMySQLQuery to access these database objects.
Fixes issue #1529
* Keep only one TRegistry object in memory instead of creating a new one in each routine.
* Move out relevant functions and TRegistry object from main to helpers to make them usable globally.
- Fixes bug #271 "F5 shortcut in database tree not working"
- Fullfills rfe #519 "Highlight selected item in tree view when focus is elsewhere"
- Fixes inconsistent expansion state of nodes after refreshing
- Fixes plus sign staying when a db node with 0 tables was selected
- Slightly enhances painting speed within the dbtree
- Removes temporary storage of a rightclicked node (DBRightClickSelectItem). VirtualTree handles its right clicked selection exactly like the left clicked one, which makes makes coding a bit cleaner as we can always use the selected item instead of hacking with the right and left clicked node. On the other side it removes a quite user friendly feature. Well, we can reimplement this feature later, though it's not user UNfriendly currently.
- Reasonably rename the StringList "OnlyDBs" to "DatabasesWanted" and "OnlyDBs2" to "Databases"
- Fetch charsets from collations dataset rather than firing an extra "SHOW CHARSET"
- Move fetching defaultCharset to existing TRY clause. No functionality change, just more consistent.
- Sort all comboboxes with charsets and collations alphabetically
- Leave the responsibility for disabling the comboboxes on old servers to the code rather than to the DFM file.
- Adapt Enabled-property of TLables to the comboboxes they belong to.
