Hi guys,

i have uploaded a new vStudio build to:
http://www.valentina-db.de/en/downloads/downvstd.shtml

This is a Win build only. Till the weekend i will have the next version
ready which will also inlude a new Mac build.

These are the new:

- Transition to Unicode is completed! And it works very well! I have some
  small bugs left caused by the transition (for example in the ASCII Import
  routines) which i am currently fixing. So - for now: PLEASE do not
  use ASCII-Import!!!
- The first version of the new 2.x engine Plugin is also working. You can
  now create Valentina 2.x databases with Valentina Studio! My biggest job
  for the next time is to implement all new features into this Plugin so
  that it can be used for every day work. Currently there is no much
  to see for you in this aerea - you can only create databases and tables.
  But most of the underlying work has been done so we will have more
  funcionality in this aerea in the next build. I hope that Ruslan can
  build a 2.x kernel with XCode also so that i can include it in the Mac
  build.
- ODBC: I have done much work in the last two weeks to greatly improve
  ODBC support:
Valentina Studio Admin is now able to perform the following tasks:
- Connect to any ODBC datasources. vStudio can now show all defined
  datasources on your system.
- Browse data in ODBC datasources
- Execute SQL statements on ODBC datasources
Additional it can help now by moving data from existing ODBC datasources
to Valentina by the following tasks:
- vStudio self creates a new Valentina database
- vStudio now self creates ALL REQUIRED TABLES in the new database by
  cloning the ODBC database structure!! This is a "One click" operation.
- vStudio now self do the required field mappings between the ODBC database
  fields and the newly created Valentina fields for preparing the import.
- vStudio can now import ALL DATA FROM ALL TABLES at once.
The user is guided through these steps by the "valentina Import Wizard".

Please guys TEST these ODBC Import feature!!! I want to make these routines
rock solid - and they are complex because i must map field types from ODBC
to Valentina - so most likly we will find bugs here when testing this!
Please also test with big databases and many records....

I am currently writing an "Valentina Studio ODBC Guide" which will help
novice users with all these ODBC stuff. I hope to get it ready with the
next build.
