2 years ago After the snapshot become more stable we will release a 1.x version , i will update the site today with news about the latest snapshot version
Snapshot is still a testing prerelease version , this is why we don't call it stable even if is in usable state :)

2 years ago Excellent idea!
Is it not possible also to resume work on the flamerobin.org site, or as an alternative: shut it down? Who owns it? If it's not being maintained I think it has no use and should be taken down. Move anything that's still relevant to GitHub or whatever?

1.
I would like to ask to stop this /meaningless/ |0.9.3.xyz| version numbering, because this program is:
- Production ready since a long time.
- Aiming to work with FB4 . (That's why I recommend re-starting with |4.0.yyyymmdd| .... and later when all errors fixed related to FB4: |4.1.yyyymmdd|)
The 3th part would allow to identify easier the release date in ISO standard format.
2.
Also please change the About Box to:
- Show the current version number.
- Put a link to this site link instead of just "flamerobin.org".
Write before "flamerobin.org" link this line: /"The old site is (not maintained since 20xx) : "/
3.
If I right click the EXE file > it still shows |File version 0.9.3.0| So it is currently impossible to us to verify which version is installed. /(Was the installation succesfull? Did it properly overwrite the old exe?)/
4.
You may show this number on top of the program window too, beginning with a "v" letter:
"FlameRobin FirebirdSQL Admin (v4.0.20220627)" Because it can only handle FirebirdSQL and no other "universal databases". Right? So the name of the program should reflect that. /(To prevent if someone accidentally installing it and trying to use it for other purposes.)/
Detailed explonation.
If you are a pro-developer you must know how difficult is to remember:
- which version fixed which error
- or did set new library/OS/FB minimums
/I myself can not remember well of my own program after a few years, so I have to search within release notes sometimes, while I'm already USING dates as version numbers since 20 years. So imagine how difficult is it for a simple user like us, working on multiple PCs, always downloading " |0.9.3| " and can not tell, if it's already handling FB4 Bool type or not?/
