[0.4.14] - 2026-08-30

Near-instantaneous menubar dropdowns, native macOS PlatformMenuBar integration, destructive query confirmation safety modals, comprehensive memory optimizations (string interning, compact storage), grid keyboard navigation, rich cell inspector, and driver resilience hardening.

Added

  • Instantaneous Menubar Dropdowns (#672, #673) — Accelerated dropdown open animation to 60ms with Curves.easeOutCubic, eliminated initial pointer-down delay, unhindered titlebar dragging from gesture arena interference, and added toggle-close support.
  • Native macOS PlatformMenuBar Integration (#612, #626) — Full native macOS top system menu integration with standard application, file, edit, view, and window submenus.
  • Destructive Query Confirmation Modal (#608, #622, #638, #641) — Safety confirmation dialog for high-risk DDL and DML operations (DROP, TRUNCATE, bulk DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE) with SQL preview, detected operations list, and explicit acknowledgement check for core and extension workspaces.
  • Full Data Grid Keyboard Navigation (#662, #664) — Seamless keyboard traversal across virtual grid cells using arrow keys, Tab/Shift+Tab, Enter to commit, and Escape to cancel.
  • Rich Cell Inspector Dialog (#663, #665) — Dedicated multi-format modal inspector with tabbed views for raw text, JSON, XML/HTML, and binary/hex with word wrap toggle and copy actions.
  • Binary & BLOB Support in DML (#658, #661) — Added full support for binary BLOB data in cell editing, DML staging buffer, and dialect-specific SQL generation (X'...', \x...).
  • Extension Driver Crash Recovery & Restart UI (#667, #669) — Visual driver crash banner with automatic heartbeat monitoring and one-click manual driver restart button.
  • Interactive Welcome Tour Expansion (#606, #624) — Expanded onboarding guide with 6 interactive steps, keyboard shortcuts reference matrix, and 1-click sample sandbox setup.
  • Bi-Directional Navigation (#630, #635) — Quick navigation links between database overview statistics, home view, and active tables.
  • Active Selection Sync to Tree (#633, #637) — Synchronized active table and view selection in tabs with the connections sidebar tree.
  • Extension Driver SDUI Tree Selection Highlight (#639, #642) — Visual selection highlighting for SDUI trees rendered by extension drivers.
  • Querya Extension Driver Mutation Standard (#563, #628) — Formalized mutation standard specification and test suite for extension drivers.

Changed & Performance

  • String Interning Pool (#604, #625) — Deduplicated low-cardinality string allocations in query result grids, slashing heap allocations during large dataset exploration.
  • Compact Typed Storage & Lazy Cell Stringification (#605, #627) — Compact memory representation for primitive column vectors, deferring string conversions until render.
  • Schwartzian Transform Grid Sorting (#602, #615) — Precomputed sort keys in sortResultGridRows to eliminate redundant comparisons during column header sorts.
  • QuickSelect Median Calculation (#603, #616) — O(N) median computation in GridSelectionCalcEngine instead of O(N log N) sorting.
  • Background Selection Calculation Offloading (#652, #655) — Offloaded massive cell selection statistics calculations to background compute workers to keep the UI at 60 FPS.
  • DataGrid Filter Bar Debouncing (#651, #654) — Debounced keystroke evaluation in the filter bar to avoid stutter during rapid filter typing.
  • ResultsTab Filtering Memoization (#650, #653) — Cached filtered row indices when filter predicates and dataset rows remain unchanged across rebuilds.
  • Modularized Shared SQL Editor & Workbench (#646, #649) — Clean modular decoupling of SQL editor tabs, query runners, and workbench state.
  • Inverted Core Imports Cleanup (#644, #647) — Eliminated circular/inverted core-to-feature dependencies and cleanly extracted connection models to core.
  • App Lifecycle & Dispose Resource Cleanup (#670, #671) — Hardened teardown of timer subscriptions, workers, and active sockets upon window closure.
  • Connection Pool Delay Tuning (#597, #601) — Reduced idle connection disposal delay to 4 seconds for rapid tab switching.

Fixed

  • In-Memory Secret Scrubbing (#607, #623) — Zeroed in-memory buffers for database passwords and sensitive connection parameters immediately after authentication.
  • Redis Safe Disconnect & Socket Resilience (#657, #660) — Protected Redis clients against unhandled socket close exceptions and connection teardown race conditions.
  • SQLite WAL Mode & Busy Timeout (#611, #617, #656, #659) — Enabled Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and 5000ms busy timeout in LocalDb and SQLite workspaces to eliminate database lock errors.
  • LocalDb Single-Flight Initialization (#645, #648) — Guarded LocalDb._open against concurrent re-initialization race conditions.
  • Plugin JSON-RPC Bridge Resilience (#666, #668) — Added heartbeat ping-pong, buffered message queues, and graceful restart on extension pipe drops.
  • SQL History Monotonic Ordering & Pruning (#629) — Guaranteed monotonic ordering by auto-incrementing ID in query history queries and batch prune operations.
  • Literal 'NULL' vs Database NULL Differentiation (#595, #599) — Fixed DML preview and staging buffer improperly treating the literal text 'NULL' as SQL NULL.
  • DML Leading Zeroes Preservation (#594, #598) — Prevented numeric string values (such as postal codes or phone numbers with leading zeroes) from being coerced to integers in generated DML.
  • Missing Primary Key Warning in DML (#596, #600) — Displayed explicit duplicate key warnings in the DML preview modal for tables lacking primary keys.
  • Motion Wobble Harmonization (#631, #634) — Harmonized workspace transition curves to eliminate dual-axis wobble during connection switching.
  • MongoDB & Redis Breadcrumbs (#632, #636) — Preserved persistent breadcrumbs and smooth transitions during NoSQL key and collection navigation.
  • Focus Traversal in Connection Forms (#610, #621) — Configured explicit FocusTraversalGroups across multi-field connection dialogs.
  • Light Theme Accent Contrast (#609, #619) — Enhanced light theme accent and ring contrast ratios for WCAG compliance.
  • Monospace Font Stack (#613, #618) — Added Cascadia Code and Consolas to default monospace font fallback list.
  • Linux GDK Log Spam (#614, #620) — Suppressed benign synthetic pointer and cursor theme GDK warnings in Linux console logs.
