Changelog

What has changed in WoodFireERD, written for the people who use it.

The Windows application carries version numbers, and the website is updated continuously — its changes are dated instead. Releases that change nothing you can see are not listed.

The format follows Keep a Changelog, and the Windows application uses Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Changed

• The notice saying an update has been installed no longer offers to do it later.
• The privacy notice says that advertising measurement sets a cookie, and what it records.
• The diagram on the front page follows one hop or two, whichever you press.

1.1.1 - 2026-10-26

Fixed

• The Windows application opens again after installing an update.

2026-10-18

Changed

• The privacy notice says where the site is hosted, and what is held there.
• A dacpac too large for your plan is refused at once, naming its size and the size your plan reads.
• A file that is not a readable dacpac says so, and says what a dacpac is, instead of reporting a fault.

2026-10-12

Changed

• The privacy notice names everything the technical logs hold, and says plainly that none of it identifies a person and none of it uses a cookie.

1.0.9 - 2026-10-01

Added

• Read a schema on a phone: drag to move, pinch to zoom, tap a box for its columns.

Fixed

• Held sideways, the menu no longer pushes the sign-in and account buttons off the screen.
• On a phone, the project bar and the connection details fit the screen.
• The reason a schema cannot be read appears beside the button you pressed.
• Text no longer jumps to a larger size when a message appears on a phone.
• Changing a primary key can keep the relationships that point at it.
• Changing a primary key asks first, and names the relationships it would remove.
• A relationship built on a column the script adds says the column arrives empty.
• A relationship pointing at columns that are not unique is listed as a step, with the statement to run.

• Changing a primary key no longer produces a script that fails when you run it.
• Adding a column to a key that was already unique no longer asks you to fill it in first.
• Making a brand-new column the primary key says what is left to do instead of failing.
• The diagram stays where you put it, and the zoom holds.
• Relationships your database has and your schema does not can be put back with Restore.
• Changing a key again, after keeping its old columns unique, no longer asks the same question twice.
• Adding a relationship in the editor opens on another table, and the table list reads as a list.
• Drawing a relationship whose columns are in a different order now says what the key's order is.
• Drawing a relationship to one column of a longer key now says what the whole key is.
• Drawing a relationship says what it drew, every time.
• Two relationships between the same two tables are drawn as two lines.
• A relationship that already exists is refused, naming the one that already joins those columns.

1.0.8 - 2026-09-26

Added

• Documentation, covering how to use the application and what it does not support.
• Release notes, so you can see what has changed.

Changed

• The Windows application and its installer are signed, so Windows shows you who published them.
• Support is now at admin@woodfireerd.com, and the old address still reaches us.

Fixed
