Changelog

QueryGlow is one developer's product. Every 1.x release is included in the $79 license. You update with ./queryglow update: it backs up first, checks that the new version is serving, and rolls back on its own if not (installs before 1.3.0: run ./update.sh once, see How updating works). Many recent changes started as emails from people who bought it; they are marked below.

QueryGlow 1.3.0

Preferences, accent colors and one-command updates

  • One command on your server: ./queryglow update backs up first, validates the nginx config, checks that the new version is serving and returns to the previous release on its own if it is not. The same command also covers install, status, doctor, backup, restore and rollback.asked for by a customer
  • Preferences behind the gear icon in the sidebar: theme, start page, connection on load, rows per page, NULL display, time zone, date and number format, auto refresh every 10, 30 or 60 seconds, and your own keyboard shortcuts for Run, Explain, Ask AI and Save. Stored in your browser, nothing is sent to the server.asked for by a customer
  • Accent color: purple, blue, teal, green, orange or rose.asked for by a customer
  • Or any accent color of your own, from your device's color picker or a hex value.
  • The Query Editor shows the statement and asks before it runs an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or DDL on a connection marked production. On by default, can be turned off in Preferences.asked for by a customer
  • AI provider keys and models can be entered in the app. They are stored encrypted on your server, and a Test button checks each provider.asked for by a customer
  • The refresh button above the table list reloads the open table as well, and the Structure dialog is wider and scrolls while you drag a column.asked for by a customer
  • The Data Browser loads a page in fewer round trips; pages over 100 rows render only the rows near the viewport. It reopens the table you last used on a connection.
  • SSH host keys are pinned on first use and a changed key is refused. SSL connections can verify the server certificate.
  • JSON, JSONB and array cells show their JSON text instead of [object Object], and editing them works.
