Kexi/Releases

See also: Schedules | Kexi 2 releases | Building

In addition to Kexi, for benefit and convenience of fellow software engineers, we're sharing frameworks originally developed within the Kexi Project (that is KDb, KProperty, KReport). There are marked with the same version as Kexi and are prepared for general, standalone usage. For general convenience the frameworks tend to be released in the same time as Kexi.

Note

Check out you Linux distribution for binary packages, or tell your distributor if they are missing. Universal packages for Windows will come be a bit later.

Kexi 3 offers the same list of features as Kexi 2 and uses the same format for .kexi files and server projects. Exceptions: no scripting (in Kexi 2 it was present as experimental) and (in 3.0) no "map" elements. Further Kexi version would of course get new features not present in Kexi 2.

3.0.2 Changes

Changes in Kexi

Highlight: Kexi has a number of general user interface and usability improvements. Some fixes for problems that appeared in version 3.0.0, including backward-compatibility. There are further improvements to the query designer (WHERE conditions and switching between views). Forms and reports also benefit from improvements of queries. Kexi now works better under non-KDE Plasma desktops such as XFCE, what can also have benefits on MS Windows. There are no new features apart from auto-opening command line options that work again.

• Form Designer
  • 236681be7 Make check boxes two-state by default because this covers 99% of use cases. It is also Qt's default.
  • 6192dbc38 Don't set any special minimum size for checkbox form widgets, users may want to set specific small size (link)

The parameters work only in the WHERE section, e.g. SELECT 123 WHERE [Param] = 1. Port calligra commit 5c0d3ee52fd. (Bug #348473)

  • f8ed63a Fix strikeout/underline font option not available in font dialogs. These options are missing in font dialogs on non-Plasma, non-Windows desktops, e.g. XFCE which has too simplified dialog. The solution is to force using Qt's own dialog (Bug #379190).
