Downloading older Heidi version

Calm_Temperature1211's profile image Calm_Temperature1211 posted 1 year ago in General Permalink

Hi,

I've updated to the latest version and can't use the UI. I want to downgrade to 9.5.0.5295 (64 Bit), but can't find it.

I've managed to find a different build installer and a 9.5 portable version, but they don't have these features:

  • auto capitalization of SQL keywords
  • auto highlight of columns with the same values

So - is there a list somewhere with all previous releases?

Thank you.

No there is no such a complete list, intentionally. On the download page you will find the previous 4 releases.

You can download the 5 years old v9.5 here: https://www.heidisql.com/installers/HeidiSQL_9.5.0.5196_Setup.exe

These old versions have bugs which I already fixed in the latest releases. Old versions potentially damage your settings generated with a newer version. Be aware of that.

Thank you, I found that one, but it doesn't have the 2 features I want.

Is there a way of getting the latest 9.5 build? It looks like the UI started to change from 10.0.

Latest v9.5 build before I released v10.0 was 5460. But that is no longer available in my builds folder. Even I don't have it in my backups.

What "UI change" do you talk about?

The icons are scaled weirdly, they are blurry.

Likely due to a high DPI setting for your screen.

The icons in your screnshot are from the Silk set, which is only available in 16px/16px resolution. A high DPI setting leads to upscaling.

However, the Icons8 pack has a much higher resolution, so these does not have that issue:

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot my issue.

Managed to find a 9.5.0.5315 version. It includes the 2 features I wanted, but some icons are messed up on Windows 7.
