Hi Dave,
I’m testing the latest build (10/7/2017) from your download page.
I had a v1.5 build that fixed issues with the proxy server. It took ~30 secs from start to usable. Before that I could only run the v1.3 release.
This new build starts in about 9 seconds showing the splash screen and then it crashes with a Fatal Error: The application server could not be contacted.
There is nothing in the Event Viewer logs and the pgAdmin log is empty in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin
The registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgadmin\pgadmin4 is blank with a value not set.
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit
16GB RAM
SSD
Behind the corporate proxy and firewall.

All,
Thank you to those that have tested this build. With a couple of exceptions, most folks seem to be reporting the improved performance we hoped for. There is more work to do to finish up this patch which is underway, and there is also additional optimisation work being done for future releases.
I am interested to know if anyone has tried either with a proxy server or over a remote desktop session. We've fixed issues in both of those areas before, and it would be good to get confirmation that we haven't broken anything again.
Melvin has noted that once upgraded to this test release, you cannot go back to the "real" 1.5 (as it won't run). I believe that is due to changes in the configuration database. The easy fix is to move %APPDATA%\pgAdmin\pgadmin4.db out of the way and then start pgAdmin. Unfortunately this will mean servers will need to be re-added, and config options will have reset to default. It is possible to revert the changes to the DB, but that's somewhat fiddly. If anyone really needs to do that, let me know and I'll write up instructions. Apologies if that causes anyone problems.
Thanks!

All,
I've put an interim build of pgAdmin 4 at https://developer.pgadmin.org/~dpage/pgadmin4-1.5-x86.exe for Windows users. This build uses a work in progress patch to replace the slow Qt components with ActiveQt + the Microsoft web browser control to significantly improve performance.
The version also includes close to 100 other bug fixes and changes, most noticeably performance improvements in the Query Tool that make it significantly faster than pgAdmin 3 with large result sets, and the ability to open the Query Tool and Debugger in new tabs that can be dragged onto different windows and therefore displays.
If you have the ability, please give it a test and let me know how it performs. There are some known issues that we're working on:
- The Query Tool History view isn't rendered correctly.
- Closing a tab is now detected when there's a dirty query tool window in it, but closing the window containing the tab is not.
- Inactive tabs have no visual definition between them.
- When dragging a tab, the mouse icon changes to one with a stop sign in it.
- If you close the last tab in a child window, it doesn't close the window.
- Popout alerts don't display correctly.
Thanks!
