Hi Valentina Developers,

Release 5.7.5 is ready for use.

Very recommended to upgrade, because was fixed very old bug in index.


========================
Story is here
     http://www.valentina-db.com/bt/view.php?id=6956


This bug was rare and hard to reproduce.

I think this is exactly why sometimes somebody have complain on index
troubles. 

In databases attached to bug report from Steve Albin,
even reindex did not help.


Problem was that on index create - one first page was not zeroed to clear
allocated space. Also it was need to have a value repeated few a lots of
times in field. And such value must be biggest in table.
With all this conditions (at least in this db) this bug comes to game.
