Sqliteman

There is new support channel for Sqliteman. Here come, requested by users, discussion board.

Note: reporting bugs in bugtracker is still prefered way.

I'd like to let you know that the support IBAN (international account number) has been changed. Please read the Support Development section for appropriate informations.

Cheers to all active supporters.

Sqliteman is real multiplatform software - it's reported to be run on Linux, MS Windows, MacOS, *BSD and more natively.

1.2.0 approaches after ten months of development, testing, and using the previously released 1.0.x and SVN snapshot versions. I'd like to send a big kudo to all people involved in this era. You know who you are.

Sourceforge.net contains only the source code and Windows/Mac binaries. Packaging of Sqliteman for your distribution is on your software vendor. But there are some packages prepared for you already (see below).

Windows Big Fat Note: Setup package will install Sqliteman into system via installer. Plain zip file can be unpacked anywhere and run without any installation.

Another Note for MS Windows users: I do not use MS Windows extensively. If you are facing with any problem let me know to get it working.

And what about future?

The development won't stop. Maybe it will be slower a little bit now just because Sqliteman can handle what I need from this software. Anyway there are some plans how to improve it more.

You can speed up your requests with your patches or e.g. technical (hardware/software) or financial support. See Support Development.

Sqliteman 1.1 is in the feature freeze phase from today (changelog). How does it impact you? You have testing releases available. See binary release for windows and source code. OpenSUSE users can use prepared RPM packages.

Any valuable feedback is welcomed. Now you can spot and change things to make it better.

And the bug tracking system is available for you too.

See all the pending tasks for final release.

Fedora Core users should update Sqliteman 1.0.1 rpm packages taken from Build Service repository as soon as possible. Older rpm packages contained installation bug which prevented displaying of icons, help files, and translations in the user interface. It's fixed now -- in sqliteman-1.0.1-17.1.i386.rpm and/or later.
