Hello,

 

Is there a timeline of when pgadmin III version 1.22.2 will be released?  There is a bug that was fixed in version 1.22.2 in February that causes everyone at my company problems.  It would be great to have it released soon.

 

Thanks for all your work,

Brandon

Dave,

I know you keep saying that you aren't planning any future updates of pgAdmin III but I and several other users have requested that you do. While not saying you should do so forever it would be nice to get some bugs fixed in pgAdmin III since pgAdmin 4 is not ready for production use yet.

Please reconsider.

Hi

We're not planning any further pgAdmin III releases I'm afraid.

And especially since pgAdmin3 has become unstable in the last few
releases (OS X mainly but some Windows 7 issues also).

I've reverted to the command line, until I find something that is cross
platform and works consistently. I'm probably going to end up having to
pay :(

I'd like to note that 1.22.1 works rock stable for me on windows xp, and 
I use it almost every day, sometimes continuously for hours, and not a 
single issue whatsoever since it was released. I can compare this to (if 
memory serves) 1.16 crashing for no apparent reason routinely and 
1.18-1.20 having nasty issues with redrawing sql-code panels causing 
Windows to go crazy.

I'd suppose that the main problem is wxwidgets. Either bugs in the 
interaction of pgadmin code with wxwidgets or bugs in wxwidgets itself. 
And wxwidgets is not so easy to deal with. However, wxwidgets 3.x looks 
still somewhat alive, so it might make some sense (for a motivated user) 
to try to fix problems. In a usual way: recompile-reproduce-debug-patch. 
An important caveat: with wxwidgets, when you fix an issue e.g. for Mac, 
you often break something at least for 1 other platform. Thats the joy 
of wxwidgets. Anyway, its very time-consuming.

Official pgadmin3 development was quite clearly announced discontinued, 
but maybe Dave would still accept good quality patches from creative 
users for some time...

Nikolai

In my opinion, pgadmin3 is almost stable with win8 and win10. Except the earlier mentioned connection problem. Pgadmin
alwayscrashes, when changing the network connection.

pgAdmin 4 is already far more stable than pgAdmin III. Once the
SlickGrid change for the query tool and some last updates to the
connection handling are committed (both of which are in final stages
of review/dev before commit), I don't see any reason why it cannot be
used in production - it will be released for such with PostgreSQL 9.6.

As for pgAdmin III, I simply don't have enough hours in the day at the
moment. If I find some spare time, I'll consider rolling up a final
release but honestly I don't know when that will be.
