Re: Windows testing required: Updated runtime

All,

Thank you to those that have tested this build. With a couple of
exceptions, most folks seem to be reporting the improved performance we
hoped for. There is more work to do to finish up this patch which is
underway, and there is also additional optimisation work being done for
future releases.

I am interested to know if anyone has tried either with a proxy server or
over a remote desktop session. We've fixed issues in both of those areas
before, and it would be good to get confirmation that we haven't broken
anything again.

Melvin has noted that once upgraded to this test release, you cannot go
back to the "real" 1.5 (as it won't run). I believe that is due to changes
in the configuration database. The easy fix is to move
%APPDATA%\pgAdmin\pgadmin4.db out of the way and then start pgAdmin.
Unfortunately this will mean servers will need to be re-added, and config
options will have reset to default. It is possible to revert the changes to
the DB, but that's somewhat fiddly. If anyone really needs to do that, let
me know and I'll write up instructions. Apologies if that causes anyone
problems.

Thanks!
