- This is a beta, binary version of the MySQLGUI client, version 1.7
- for Windows.
-
- This is a fourth release of 1.+ MySQLGUI versions for Windoze. It is
- practically free from bugs, that we know off. This version is identical to
- X version, but it also fixes some previous Windows-related bugs.
-
- You should read readme.version_1.7, because it describes both X and Win32
- releases of the mysqlgui version 1.7. The only difference is in handling of
- the editing, i.e. of horizontall scrolling of cell's data. Namely, due to
- the present bug in Flvw widgets (made by Larry Charlton
- <lcharlto@mail.coin.missouri.edu>), automatic editing is not available under
- Windoze. So, under Unix, horizontall scrolling is switched on by either
- clicking with a left mouse button on the cell, or pressing CTRL+'E' key,
- while under Windoze, for the moment, only pressing CTRL+'E' works. This
- little inconvinience will be fixed in the next sub-release.
-
-
- Beside that,Windows version is identical to X version, except for the rules
- regarding writing necessary entries in my.cnf. Namely, unlike *nix, Windoze
- has drives, So, all backslashes after drive: should be escaped, like this:
- d:\\mysql\\options_file. There is an example of a thorough and functioning
- my.cnf file included with this release of MySQLGUI.
-
-
- If you find any bugs please report them to sinisa@mysql.com.
-
- This is first Windows release that is 100 % built with gcc 2.95.2. This
- compiler proved to be of excellent value, as it produces highly optimised
- and bug - free code on Win32. This makes it a first 100 % ANSI 1997 C++
- compiler available for Win32, and is highly recommended to all C and C++
- programmers, working on this platform.
-
- Unlike previous Win32 versions of mysqlgui, this one, thanks to gcc 2.95.2,
- is fully optimised and should provide same efficiency as available on Unix.
-
- It took us long time to build this Windows variant of 1.7, as we had huge
- problems with stability of NT 4.0, aggravated with a dying hard disk, that
- has hosted VMWare's virtual disk.
-
- But we wanted to release this version prior to going into hard disk changes,
- reinstallations etc ..
-
- Have fun !
