- ========================================================================
-
- * V3.6 (15.11.99) ** THIS IS SNAPSHOT OF THE BETA VERSION! **
-
- - DEFPATTERN argument was always ignored by previous
- version of db
- - You can now change the type of any field from within
- the edit field window
- - New ARexx command "SortOrder" allows you to switch
- sorting order between ascending and descending
- (equivalent of Settings/SortOrder menu item)
-
- BAD NEWS:
- The last modification I've done in the DB's sources
- are dated 14.03.1998, so they ain't fresh. As you
- probably guessed, I am not doing DB development
- any longer (after using DB for many years, I've now
- switched to Amiga port of mSQL which I found more
- flexible for my purposes and very fast for the amount
- of records I've had in all my databases). Thanks to
- msql.library (with ARexx port!) using SQL engine is
- now as powerful as it should. Give mSQL a try as well
- (shall be on Aminet as well). Companion tools are
- also available (search for "msql")
-
- I've released the sources as well. Anyone who wish
- to continue the development, please feel free to
- grab them and do anything you want.

-
- * V3.5 (24.09.97) - As David's dropped the DB project (at least for now),
- starting from version 3.5 DB is developed by
- Marcin Orlowski, so all your bug reports, oppinions
- etc concerning DB should be mailed to him. Don't
- forget to visit the DB home page (URL is placed above).
- - Added TEXT type to view design toolbar.
- - Added TEXTFIELD type to view design toolbar
- (however you can't change its height in editor yet)
- - Added abbreviations to Shell template
- - Trailing ':' is no longer added to selector window's
- title if the record label the title is based on,
- already has it.
- - Edit view related strings are now localized
- - New CLI/tooltype DEFPATTERN (def. "#?")
- - New CLI/tooltype DEFREXXPATTERN (def. "#?.(db|rexxdb)")
- - Toolbox items call be also accessed via F1-F5 keys
- directly from edit view window
- - New menu item - reload current project
- - New menu item - relaunch recently selected ARexx script
- - Hungarian translation added. DB now supports 14 languages.
- Unfortunately, most of existing translations
- are a little bit outdated with this edition. Hope that
- will change with next release, when all will finish their
- holidays. For now you can use old catalogs but all newly
- localised strings will appear in english.
