Chive 0.3 released

It has been quite a while since Chive 0.2.0 has been released and with over 3,000 downloads we have taken a big leap to become the next generation web-based MySQL database management tool. With the release of Chive 0.3.0 we take another step towards this goal.

About 20 bugfixes and a bunch of important improvements later, we release Chive 0.3.0 on April 1st 2010. For a list of fixed bugs see the Launchpad project page (https://launchpad.net/chive). These are the most important improvements:

mod_rewrite
———–
To run Chive 0.2.0 you had to have mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache installation. This is no longer required! Once you connect to Chive, it automatically detects wether mod_rewrite is enabled or not and chooses the right mode for your system setup.

Handling of blob values
———————–
Downloading of blob values should work with every supported browser from now. But there are still some issues with blob values in tables without primary key.

Import
——
The import script has been recoded and should work with larger dump files from now. Errors while executing an import sql file will not stop the import. In exchange all errors are shown as a list below the progress bar.

Translations
————
With 6 new translations we are looking forward to reach a broader user audience. Thanks to all people working on the translations in Launchpad:
- Brazilian Portuguese (Patrick Kaminski)
- French (Jonathan, Olivier, David Soyez, lbstephane)
- German (Patrick Scheips, Sven Leichsenring)
- Italian (Gho5t, Giacomo Mirabassi, Giampaolo Bozzali, ciko, d3vilkiss, ramin)
- Polish (Jacek Kowalski, Konrad Kałowski, MiSHu, czepol)
- Spanish (Diegoj, Kaos32Black)

New library versions
——————–
As every version of Chive, 0.3.0 ships with the latest versions for Yii Framework, jQuery, jQuery UI and all the other libraries to improve performance and security.

We hope that you will enjoy using Chive 0.3.0 and we are looking forward to receive your feedback in Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/chive).
