0.8.0

[Rohithgilla12]

v0.8.0

New Features

Multi-Window Support (#61)

Work on multiple database sessions simultaneously with full multi-window support:

• New Window: Cmd+Shift+N (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows/Linux)
• Cascade Positioning: New windows open with a 30px offset for easy visibility
• Connection Sync: Windows share the connection list but maintain independent tabs and editor state
• Auto-Update Broadcast: Update notifications are sent to all open windows

Settings Popup (#61)

Quick access to settings from anywhere:

• Keyboard Shortcut: Cmd+, (macOS) / Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux)
• Settings accessible from the File menu on all platforms
• Streamlined access to appearance, database, and licensing options

Configurable Query Timeout (#60)

Set global query timeouts to prevent runaway queries:

• Navigate to Settings → Database to configure timeout (in seconds)
• Works across all database types:
  • PostgreSQL: Uses SET statement_timeout
  • MySQL: Uses SET SESSION max_execution_time
  • MSSQL: Uses per-request timeout
• Default: 0 (no timeout) to allow long-running queries
• Input validation prevents injection attacks

Enhanced Command Palette (#59)

Migrated to the cmdk library for a significantly improved experience:

• Nested Navigation: Browse through connections, saved queries, and appearance settings
• Smart Fuzzy Search: Acronym and character-based matching for faster navigation
• Pin/Unpin Saved Queries: Keep frequently used queries at the top
• Quick Connection Switching: Auto-switch to newly added connections
• Cmd+P opens directly to the connection list with add/edit options
