New version of SQLQueryStress released

Eight months ago I announced the release of the first beta version of SQLQueryStress.

I had big plans: Collect a bunch of feedback, quickly fix any bugs that came in, and release a final version. Time frame of two weeks, tops.

As is often the case, life interrupted my progress. And so and here I am eight months later releasing not the final version, but rather a second beta. Truth be told, feedback was a lot sparser than I'd hoped, and the bugs ended up being a lot harder to track down and fix.  Not that it took me eight months to fix them; I've been working through them on and off only for the last week, and I believe I've tackled most of the major issues that people did bother to report to me.  You can find a list of the fixes/enhancements on the download page.

So if you're interested in checking out this new version, grab it here. Please let me know if you see bugs or anything you like, dislike, etc. I have written this program for the community at large, so please feel free to help guide its future development!

Adam,

Are you ever planning on releasing the source for this app?

Hi Eddie,

Still weighing my options on that, but probably not; I have some ideas for extending the core engine I've created and branching the free version into a more advanced (but not free) version.  I'll still maintain a free version either way, though.
