* Simplify code for getting connection parameters from registry by implementing helpers:LoadConnectionParams()
* Use combobox for network type instead of radio buttons, now that 3 options would need more horizontal space than we have
* Hide tabs on session manager which are irrelevant for the selected network type (e.g. no SSL options for named pipe)
* Some minor code simplifications
* Remove complicated and unreadable NSIS stuff. No need to have a installer for a developer application. ZIP file is fine.
* On startup, if a portable_settings.txt exists in the application folder, heidisql.exe will read its contents into a unique registry key.
* In MainForm.OnDestroy, settings are written to that file again, and the reg key gets deleted.
* Avoid using Microsoft's .reg file syntax, as you need admin privileges to store and restore such files, even when using the appropriate Windows API functions.
* Don't try to access a passed tree if it has been destroyed by some earlier event.
* Don't try to access registry in DoDisconnect after key has been closed.
* Now that DoDisconnect lives in FormDestroy it is save to call it slightly earlier, before registry has been closed. There should be no later paint events which will trigger random database queries.
* Load in OnBeforePaint, if the tree's tag is set to NOTLOADED
* Load 1,000 rows in one step, up to a maximum of 100,000 rows. Both values are customizable.
* Load next chunk when user presses PageDown on the last node, or, more explicitly, when user clicks "Next rows" button
* Should fix all AVs which seem to be a timing issue with loading data on demand.
* Fixes issue #1675, fixes issue #1580, fixes issue #1721, fixes issue #1734, fixes issue #972
* Use 2 VirtualTree's instead of broken TComboBoxEx pulldown's
* Enlarge the user list so all items are visible at once
* Privilege objects now use a tree style, 1st level is the objects name, 2nd level is the privilege name ("select", "update" ...)
Fixes issue #1707
* Sanitize main unit from unused variables
* Move global variables to public scope
* Bring public vars into some reasonable order
* Move constants to const.inc, unless dependent from some used VCL unit
* 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.
