What's new summary:
* More than a hundred user suggestions and improvements have been implemented

* Pertaining to navigation, we had to reconcile such diverse comments as "I LOVE MyCon" 
with "I want my simpler Mascon folders back".  Also to accommodate users with a limited 
screen size (laptops etc) we have added favorite creation functionality which allows you
to 
create favorite shortcuts to ANY folder or subfolder in your folder view.  You can also
organize, 
reorder and arrange these shortcuts to your heart's content. For example, you can now
group 
tables, queries, reports, etc together even though they may all reside on different
servers or in 
different databases.  You can also use the favorite view without loss of any functionality
when 
compared to the folders view.  In short, we have enabled you to create virtual folder
structures 
containing subsets of any nodes in your default folder view.

* Lots of new functionality were built into the Connection Properties pane, including
server 
and client versions, ping times, setup/customization of databases to show, compression and

timeout settings have also been added. It now also contains a configuration tab where you
can 
view all your MySQL variables (global & session, including support for the SET
command), 
MySQL status, - processes (including support for the KILL command), - table types, -
privileges 
and - logs (BDB)

* Table/Query Grid Views now include a text button which you can use to fetch MySQL data 
as it is returned by MySQL and edit it as if it is all text. Thus, when enabled, MyCon
does not 
convert any values to integers, date/time, enums, sets, etc with the numerous editors
available 
for editing these datatypes.

* Grid View now also does server-side sorting by default when you sort one or multiple
columns 
by clicking the column names.  Client-side sorting can still be done on one or multiple
columns 
utilizing the "group by this column" pane.
