Chive 1.0 released!
I’m pleased to announce the release of chive 1.0!
Chive is a free, open source, web-based database management tool, designed to bring joy to web developers – with easy administration, super fast UI and state of the art web technologies.
Our mission is to bring joy to web developers – every part in chive is optimized to speed so that web-developers can achieve any tasks easily and super-fast – without any hassle.
Since the last release of the 0.5 series we fixed 10 Bugs and contributed some nice new productivity features:
Some key changes are:
- Support of table maintenance commands
Prior to chive 1.0, we did not support table maintenance commands like optimize/analyze table. It was always possible to execute these queries manually by typing the command, but this was obviously not very userfriendly. With 1.0 we added buttons for all of these commands so you can easily execute them via a button click on each table view.
- Remember Url when logging in.
Before this release, you could not copy and paste a chive url to the navigation-bar when you were not logged in. After entering the credentials, chive redirected you to the startpage and you had to re-paste the url.
This has changed and now chive remembers the url pasted in the navigation-bar when not logged in and redirects you to the correct page after login.
- Add search-icon to table name in the tablename list
With this improvement you can quickly jump to a table`s search list by clicking oh the glasses-icon in the list. This saves lots of time when you do repeated searches on different tables.
- Always show query execution time
As the query execution time is an important information, chive will display it on every executed query from now on.
We re-used chive`s indicator-system so it will look similar to the profiling tooltips you are already used to.
There are plenty of other cool features, like syntax highlighting, benchmarking, bookmarks and so on. Check out our project site on http://chive-project.com for screen shots and download chive free at https://launchpad.net/chive.
