General details

The releases with version numbers below 3.0 were known as MySQL-Front until 2.5. The name has been switched in 2006 to HeidiSQL, as Ansgar Becker took his old sources and put them into a new open-source-project at SourceForge in April 2006.
There was also a shareware-application called "MySQL-Front 3.0", which was developed by another developer from 2004 to 2006 and had a complete new codebase.
The team around HeidiSQL currently consists of five official developers and one designer. The team-members are working on HeidiSQL in their spare time. The members are spread over different countries: Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, China and Brazil.

Some technical details

★ HeidiSQL is completely developed in Delphi

★ The communication layer to the MySQL-server is implemented by the use of the popular ZeosLib, whereas the old MySQL-Front 2.5 used the more direct API-layer mysql.pas by Matthias Fichtner

★ The source-management is done by using a SVN repository

★ New developers should take care of some details gathered in the readme-file
