* 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.
* Rewrite parameter parser
* Remove support for "-C" option (compressed). Anyway switched on by default.
* Add support for loading multiple SQL files at once instead of only one: "fileA.sql fileB.sql ..."
* Also process connection parameters when "Allow multiple application instances" is disabled
* If a session name is specified with -dXYZ, load params from registry, but allow the user to override these by passing e.g. a different user name "-uOtherUser"
Fixes issue #1332.
* 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.
a) connect a session
b) open the session manager
c) rename the current session
... your registry has a nearly empty session folder, after DoDisconnect() stores the last active database with the old session name.
This change fixes the SessionName variable and window caption immediately after a session was renamed.
* Replace the pulldown by a list to get a better overview
* Display last connected and created date in details
* Prompt user on form closing if modifications should be saved
* Remove moreorless useless image
* Remove options "timeout" and "sort database"
TODO: Display some help text on the right side when no session at all is existant to help new users.
* 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.
