RelWave v0.9.0-rc-5

Release Notes - v0.9.0-rc-5

This release candidate brings important UI/UX simplifications for database connections, right-click table management capabilities, and critical fixes to our caching system.

✨ New Features & Improvements

• Streamlined URL Connections: When entering a database connection via URL, all the separate connection parameter inputs (Host, Port, User, Password, etc.) are now smartly hidden to reduce clutter.
• Intelligent .env Parsing: When importing projects with a .env file, the import dialog will now automatically extract and prefill the DATABASE_URL field. The "URL" tab is now the default view for a faster setup experience.
• Table Context Menus: Added right-click context menus directly within the Tables Explorer, allowing you to quickly Insert Data or Delete Table without navigating away.
• Keyboard Navigation: The Enter key is now fully supported on connection modals! You can hit Enter to quickly submit forms inside the "Add Connection" and "Delete Connection" dialogs.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Real-time Stat Updates: Fixed caching issues where "Total tables" or database sizes wouldn't instantly update on the dashboard after a database was deleted or unlinked.
• Import Dialog State Issue: Fixed a glitch where the "Import Project" dialog would get stuck on the "imported successfully" success screen if you tried to open it again after an import.

RelWave v0.7.0-beta-1

✨ What's New

🎨 New Themes — Full UI Palettes

Three brand-new full-palette themes that go beyond accent color swaps, completely transforming the entire UI including backgrounds, sidebar, cards, borders, and shadows:

• Valorant — Riot's iconic red-orange on warm cream backgrounds in light mode, deep near-black reddish tones in dark mode. Automatically switches with your light/dark toggle.
• Ghibli Studio — Earthy golden-sand backgrounds with muted olive-green accents in light mode; deep warm browns with sage-green highlights in dark mode. Inspired by Studio Ghibli's iconic colour palette.
• Cyberpunk (previous release) & VS Code (previous release) — now properly listed alongside the new arrivals in the redesigned theme picker.

The theme picker in Settings has also been redesigned with two sections — Accent Colors (original swatches) and Full Themes (rich preview cards showing a gradient banner and mini UI mockup). Dual-mode themes show a split light/dark preview so you know what you're getting before selecting.

---

📊 Chart Visualization — Redesigned

The Chart tab has been significantly improved:

• New chart type: Area — replaces Scatter with a smooth gradient-fill area chart, great for visualizing trends over categorical data.
• Multi-color bars & pie slices — each segment now gets its own color from the active theme's chart palette, so all themes (including Cyberpunk, Ghibli, etc.) look great automatically.
• Summary stats strip — once data loads, a row beneath the chart shows Rows, Max, Avg, and Total at a glance.
• Better empty states — distinct states for loading, error, "configure axes", and "no data returned" — each with a unique icon and helpful copy.
• Column type hints in the axis dropdowns and clearer labels (X — Group by / Y — Count of).
• Export button is now disabled when there's no chart rendered.

---

🔧 CI Fix — Smarter Test Runs

The bridge test workflow (test.yml) now uses path filters — it only triggers when files inside bridge/ actually change. Previously, every single push (including frontend-only or Rust-only changes) would spin up PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB containers unnecessarily, wasting CI minutes.

Full Changelog: v0.6.0-beta-5...v0.6.0-beta-6

RelWave v0.6.0-beta-5

Release: v0.6.0-beta-5 🌊

Overview: This beta adds a redesigned commit history visualization, first-class SSH tunneling for DB connections in the bridge, and several build/test fixes. It’s intended for testing and early adopters; please run the integration tests (see notes).

Highlights

• UI — Git history: Redesigned GitHistoryGraph.tsx with denser layout, branch/ref badges, compact commit cards, and improved lane rendering.
• SSH tunneling: Bridge now supports SSH tunnels via sshTunnelService and SSHConfig with secure credential storage backed by the OS keyring (see sshTunnelService.ts and keyringService.ts).
• Type & build fixes: DBMeta now includes ssh (bridge types), keyring API mismatch corrected, and Tailwind class fix to avoid compile warnings.
• Tests/CI: Test infra improvements; note a few integration tests require Docker compose. See docker-compose.test.yml for the test environment.

Upgrade notes

• No breaking API changes. To use SSH tunneling, include SSH fields in your DB config (host/port/user/privateKey or password) and ensure the bridge can access the OS keyring.
• On Windows/Linux, the native OS keyring is used — CI runners must allow keyring access or tests may need mocking.

Changelog (short)

• Added: GitHistoryGraph visual overhaul.
• Added: SSH tunnel support + keyring-backed credential storage.
• Fixed: Tailwind class causing build warnings; various UI polish.

RelWave v0.6.0-beta.1

• Complete UI revision and polish across the Dashboard and connection dialogs.
• Added Database Monitoring (live streaming via WebSocket + manual snapshot refresh).

RelWave v0.5.0-beta.2

RelWave v0.5.0-beta.2

This beta is a stability-focused update centered on SQLite support and packaged desktop build reliability.

Highlights

• Improved SQLite support across the app, bridge, and packaged releases
• Fixed Windows packaged-build issues that could cause SQLite connections to fail with errors like:
  EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, lstat 'D:'
• Strengthened release packaging so the bridge sidecar is rebuilt before desktop bundles are produced

Fixes and Improvements

• Normalized SQLite path handling across the app and bridge
• Better support for SQLite file paths provided as:
  • native file paths
  • sqlite:///... URLs
  • file:///... URLs
  • Windows-style drive-letter paths
• Added stronger validation for invalid SQLite paths, including drive roots and directory paths
• Improved packaged better-sqlite3 native binding resolution for desktop releases
• Improved bridge packaging flow so release builds are less likely to ship stale bridge binaries
• Added regression coverage around SQLite path parsing, persistence, and packaged bridge behavior

Notes

• If you created a broken SQLite connection in 0.5.0-beta.1 and it was saved as a truncated path like D:, that specific connection may need to be removed and added again once.
• This release is recommended for anyone testing SQLite support on Windows packaged builds.

Thanks to everyone testing the beta and reporting issues. Your feedback directly helped tighten up this release.
