The pgAdmin Development Team are pleased to announce the second Beta
version of pgAdmin III v1.2.0, the well-known GUI administration tool
for the PostgreSQL database system.
Congratulations to all of you! It seems you are fantastic bug hunters!
Since the first beta announcement on 10 September 2004, some well hidden
bugs were discovered and fixed thanks to some really high quality
reports from users and hackers.
Here is an abstract of the changelog which summarize the issues fixed in
this particular release:
- Prevent dropped servers reappearing after View System Objects change.
- GRANT for functions in reengineered SQL window
- Fix Database creation for 7.3/7.4 [Jona]
- Resources: use wxID_xxx IDs to enable GTK wxStockButtons
- Resources: use 12d height for comboboxes (GTK positioning issue)
- Rewrite of properties actions
- Mask passwords on dlgServer [Ivan Nejgebauer]
- Fix function return type quoting
- Fix GrantWizard for sequence and view
- Fix type quoting
- Fix OnAdd server property positioning
You can find detailed download instructions at
http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/download.php
(At the time of this writing, source tarball, Win32 and Slackware
binaries should be available on one of your favourite PostgreSQL mirror,
binaries for other platforms are being built)
As this is still a beta release and although you killed many bugs during
these past 15 days, there may be more well hidden bugs to be found...
Should this be the last beta or not before stable release? Let's take a
look at it together! The more you can find bugs, the better the final
release will be - so let the hunt go on!
Please, give it a try and report any/all problems to

[ About pgAdmin III ]
pgAdmin III is a free PostgreSQL database management and
administration tool software and is based on experiences gained in the
development of pgAdmin, and the extremely popular pgAdmin II. pgAdmin
III is written in C++ using the wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org)
cross platform framework, and is currently supported on Windows
2000/XP/2003, Linux and FreeBSD. Ports are worked on for Solaris and
MacOS X systems and patches or success stories with these or other
systems would be appreciated. It is released under the Artistic Licence.
pgAdmin III allows the user to browse database objects, create, crop and
modify them as allowed by PostgreSQL, view and edit data, and run
arbitrary SQL queries using an extremely fast multi-threaded query tool.
Connection to multiple servers at once is supported, using PostgreSQL's
native libpq library. No ODBC layer is used, and connections may be SSL
encrypted if required (this is automatic, based on pg_hba.conf
settings).
pgAdmin III has full Unicode support when built against wxWidgets 2.5
(as our binary distributions are), and has been translated into a number
of languages including Afrikaans, Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech,
Danish, German, Greek, Spanish, Farsi, Finnish, French, Galician,
Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Norwegian
Bokmal, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese-Brazilian, Portuguese, Romanian,
Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish, Chinese
simplified and Chinese traditional thanks to the efforts of our
volunteer translators.
Happy Bug Hunting!
Regards,
Raphaël
