After a rather over-extended development cycle SQLEditor<\/a> version 1.0 has now been released. Which is a great relief to me. I’ve been working on it for so long now that I can’t quite remember not working on it, which is weird. Admittedly that’s only really about 12 months, but still, it’s a significant portion of my life. It’s also the first major product I’ve released. <\/p>\n

In a moment of commercialism I would encourage you to buy a copy<\/a> because it makes a wonderful christmas gift, or at least it might if the recipient really loved databases or if it was some other kind of program altogether. As it is, it probably wouldn’t make much of a Christmas gift. Socks or bottles of wine would be a better choice for almost anyone.<\/p>\n

Releasing SQLEditor isn’t the end of the situation though. Version 1.1 is already being planned and I’ve various other projects that I’m working on as well, but SQLEditor is first and will always be the first piece of software that I released for sale.<\/p>\n

Releasing software is complicated. In addition to the actual program, there is the distribution package, online help, the website, notifications to trackers like MacUpdate<\/a> and Versiontracker<\/a>, plus checking the online store is working correctly. Bad news with this release for anyone hoping for the pre-release discount. With the release of version 1.0 the offer expired. <\/p>\n

People keep talking about MacPAD<\/a> but nothing seems to be happening at the moment, only MacShareware.net<\/a> seems to be supporting it (which is logical, since the two are quite closely tied together). I’ve got a MacPAD file up now, but nothing much else. I haven’t integrated it with the release managment stuff I’ve written (a motley collection of php and make files with a bit of XML for good measure).<\/p>\n

If there was any market in it there is an interesting opportunity for a release management system (written perhaps in java?) that could generate everything automatically. Perhaps if I get really bored at some point I might do that.<\/p>\n

The next step is to write a press release and send it out today. Joy \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

So, in conclusion, if you haven’t already tried SQLEditor<\/a>, then version 1.0 will improve your life so much that you won’t know how you got by without it. Or at least might save some time when designing SQL databases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
