- DDL reengineering supports NOVALIDATE and RELY for constraints
bug fixes:
- deleting selection extended beyond EOF causes EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Version 1.5 build 14 (2011-09-01)

SQLTools has been released under GNU GPL v3 (updated from v2 to v3).

"Find Object" <F12> and "Load DDL script" <Ctrl>+<F12> use an updated object
name resolver
that can handle ALTER SESSION SET CURREN_SCHEMA = <Schema>

Improvements in DDL reverse engineering:

- implemented PARALLEL clause for tables, indexes and clusters
- implemented event triggers

Improvements in "Object List (Alt+3)":

- Schema list control got new addition to the context menu.
It allows quick switch between previously selected schemas (session live scope)
- Changed a default action for the table list. <DblClick> will load DDL
instead of switching to "Object Viewer". <Alt>+<DblClick> will show the
current selection in "Object Viewer"
- <Del> accelerator is not linked with "Drop" action anymore for safety reason.
You should use <Ctrl>+<Del> as a short cut for "Drop"

or <Program Folder>/SharedData (shared) depending on user choice
- implemented Filter for "Object List"
- improved keyboard navigation in "Object List"
- added Recyclebin to "Object List"
