• Enhance user query error handling. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=40085

  • do not reset cursor if position was not found
  • paint red background on line with error, just until user presses any key

Modifications for installer and updater:

• Issue #1735: Experimental support for non administrative install mode, with the default folder C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Programs\HeidiSQL\
• Issue #811: Make installation of example snippets optional, and display the used path.
• Increase lzma2 compression from max to ultra64. Take up more memory for creating the installer and for installing, but decreases installers file size from 46M to 39M.
• Do not auto-create "c:\Users\Anse\Documents\HeidiSQL", as we only use it for snippets which can also have a custom path. Closes #1751
• Updater: quote name of task to run, making it safe to use white spaces
• Use Release configuration to decrease the updaters file size
• Issue #1616: Close Heidi processes through updater even if the path is different than the current app path, which is the case when running Heidi from a symbolic link folder.
• Refactor build updater once again:
  • convert to console application without window, so the user sees all status messages in the order of appearance
  • include SysUtils unit, which increases file size to ~2MB, but enhances maintainability
  • restrict compilation and resource inclusion to 64bit mode - the build updater is disabled in 32bit mode anyway
• Issue #418: restart via task scheduler after build update, decreasing privileges to the normal user instead of administrator
• Issue #1733: Sign uninstaller within InnoSetup script. This also signs the installer from InnoSetup now, while removing the sign call from the build process.
• Issue #1733: sign yet unsigned 3rd party libraries with my own Authenticate certificate

3rd party updates:

• Update plink binaries to latest v0.78. Closes #1430

New stuff:

• Make clicks on grid column headers configurable, so the user may disable it, preventing him from accidental sortings on large tables. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=40026
• Issue #1705: Add new network type "MySQL on RDS", to support its different query for killing a process. New icon provided by @Bens-ct.

Bugfixes and enhancements:

• Issue #1616: force update check to overwrite old HeidiSQL_update.exe in temp directory, once through different file size, and by logic when old one is older than 30 days. Fixes still used old updater with bugs.
• SQL export: Calculate a reasonable LIMIT clause when "Get full table status" session setting is disabled, causing AvgRowLen<=0. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=40058
• Fix too narrow column widths restored with high DPI setting, due to Delphi's Round() function using the nearest even number. Use the better suited "kaufmännisch runden" approach.
• Query helpers tree: sync logic behind "Insert at cursor" with what doubleclick does. Enables that menu item for table columns, keywords, functions and snippets. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=40022
• Quote BIT values again, in EscapeString version with data type. Closes #1709
• Use rds_kill_query procedure on RDS to kill a running query. Closes #1705
• Revert background color of selected text in Material style to its original, again causing unreadable link text on dialogs described in issue #993. Readability of selected text seems more important to me. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=40003
• Include application version and path of selected session in the session manager's window caption

• After restoring query tabs, warn user about tabs which were loading slow
• Add preference option for adding timestamp to log messages. Helpful for debugging performance issues.

• Add log message after finished export, to make it more noticeable the user has control again. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=39913
• SSH tunnel: process error pipe contents only if std pipe is empty. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=39851
• Allow hex values to have an odd number of digits. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=39864
• Issue #1673, #1351 and #1658: use a general approach in TDBQuery.HasFullData for all server types, where we again use Delphi's Length() against a number range of 128..256.
