- Remove the "Donate" button and add a more eye catching "Make donation by Paypal" logo below the MySQL logo
- Rename "Support forum" to what it is: a "User to user forum"
- Add a "Check for updates..." button right besides the version infos which basically calls the updatecheck dialog.
- Implement an alternative solution for handling sorted columns without usage of SMDBGrid's sortcolumns. Move relevant structures and functions from data_sorting.pas to childwin.pas and use them in both units.

- Use Grid.OnDrawDataCell as an alternative to Grid.OnGetCellParams as the latter one is a feature of SMDBGrid
