SQL Power and the Power*Architect team is pleased to
announce the release of Power*Architect version 0.9.9!
This release features a number of bug fixes, and usability
and productivity enhancements.

We recommend that all users upgrade as soon as possible.

Major changes include:

*Added support for explicitly named sequences in PostgreSQL and Oracle
*Added the ability to choose the constraint checking deferrability policy
on foreign key relationships on supported platforms
*Tweaked the database comparison feature to ignore meaningless data type
differences between columns (for example, DECIMAL vs. NUMERIC)
*Got rid of an excessive repainting problem introduced in version 0.9.8
(improves drawing performance)
*Added the SQL BOOLEAN type to the set of generic types. It forward
engineers to BOOLEAN on platforms that support it, and TINYINT on
platforms that lack the BOOLEAN type.
*Added DDL (forward engineering) support for HSQLDB
*Fixed a bug in the SQL script dialog where if the user has chosen not to
continue after an error, clicking execute has no effect.
*Added a GUI relationship column mapping editor, allowing you to change which
primary key column a foreign key maps to in the relationship properties editor.
*Fixed support for self-referencing relationships (where the primary key
and foreign key are in the same table).
*Improved 'Zoom-to-Fit' feature so that it can zoom-to-fit on selected objects
in the playpen instead of the entire model. Useful for very large data models.
*The table profiler can now optionally perform its calculations locally, instead
of on the database server. This may improve profiling performance.
*Changed the action for Enter in the play pen to edit the selected item,
it is no longer limited to columns.
