DBeaver 1.6

Finally here we are – open source version of DBeaver is ready.
We released under GPL license. As DBeaver is not a library but UI client there are no limitations for end-users. You may freely use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Brief changelist:

  • Chinese, Russian and Italian translations
  • Metadata tree filters
  • ResultSet editor improvements. Support of copy/paste for cells.
  • BLOB editor fix (save)
  • Oracle cursors viewer
  • Read-only connections support
  • HTTP proxy authentication support
  • SSH support for external (native) utilities
  • Line numbers ruler configuration
  • Fixed handling of dynamic SQL parameters
  • A lot of minor UI fixes and improvements

From this point we’ll increase team and start distributed development. So, I hope, it will let us to implement new mega features much faster :)

Notes about source code:

At the moment we are migrating from SVN to GIT version control system. I believe that SVN is not good enough for distributed development of open-source products.
So, for a while sources can be downloaded only as archive. You can find it at download page.

Special thanks to:

  • Eugene Fradkin (i18n and Russian localization)
  • Brook.Tran (Chinese localization)
  • Roberto Rossi (Italian localization)

Opening The Sources

Yep, at last DBeaver is going to become an open source product. We belive free and open source is much better than just free.
It means that our SVN repositoy will be opened for checkout by anyone. For sure commits will be allowed only for commiters (team members).
Another still open question is license. At the moment I think it will be GPL. I believe it is a good license for end-user oriented GUI product, practically it won’t add any restrictions for users.

So.. We are looking for team members. If you want to participate in product development (anyhow) or want to become a commiter – please write me at serge@jkiss.org.
Actually there are a lot of questions to discuss about the product future.

We are going to open the sources in the begining of June, so there is one month to prepare to this event.

Thanks to everyone who uses DBeaver. And thanks a lot to guys who writes feedbacks and sends bugreports.
