pgAdmin 1.2.0 Released

I'm pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin II 1.2.0.

This release is the first 'stable' release of pgAdmin II following 12 months
of planning and writing of the 30,000 lines of code that make it all work.
I'd like to thank every one who helped out during this time with the
development itself, as well as the testing and bug chasing.

For those that are not familiar with pgAdmin II: pgAdmin II is a
comprehensive PostgreSQL database design and management system for Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. More information, including a features list and
downloads can be found at http://pgadmin.postgresql.org/.

Changes in this release are minor of course, and include:

- Allow use of new serial8 type.
- Warn user that serial-created sequences & indexes must be manually
committed to Revision Control.
- Tweak efficiency of the Comment cache in pgSchema (~30% faster population
of cache).
- Distribute non Win2K riched32.dll.
- Update other column properties before renaming for safety.
- Set Unknowns As LongVarChar when connecting to allow ACLs > 255
characters.
- Added features list to help.
- Added bugs and to-do lists to help menu (missing for some reason).
- Added release procedure to help.
- Fixed a typo in the licence.
- Updated Copyright notices to include 2002.

The Database Migration Wizard (released seperately under GNU General Public
Licence) has also been updated:

- Ignore binary/blob fields correctly.
- Added support for MSSQL server (tested on same installations MSSQL 7 &
MSSQL 2000). [Artur Maslag]
- Some fixes to correct recognizing adNumeric type. [Artur Maslag]
- Fix for correct registry read for type mappings. [Artur Maslag]
- Handle Dates/Times a little more sanely.
- Prompt for extra login details on the source database if required.

Regards, Dave.
