The v12.12 release now abandons the 32 bit portable releases and nightly builds.

Back in Jan 2019, for v10.0, I created the first 64 bit release with the support of the Delphi 10.3 at that time. Since that release I provided both 32 and 64 bit releases for more than 6 years now. Due to the decreasing availability of 32 bit drivers and libraries, and with a user base of ~0.5% it makes sense to safe the effort for these. Note the previous releases with 32 bit variants are still available on the download page.

Also notable: heidisql.com has been moved to Manitu, an excellent hosting provider in Germany. Update checks, SQL formatting and statistic calls should benefit from the enhanced speed.

New stuff:

• Remove PostgreSQL libpq/10 and 12, depending on the outdated and insecure libssl v1.1.1w
• Update Virtual-TreeView component to v8.2 from Sep 5 2025

• Do not require a "Content-Length" response header in THttpDownload. Responses mostly come compressed with "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" and then need hacks to get a Content-Length header. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=44407
• Issue #1313: support MariaDB's COMPRESSED attribute for columns in table editor
• Issue #2243: suppress prompt to save a yet unknown host key in ssh.exe mode, by disabling StrictHostKeyChecking and UserKnownHostsFile . I have no clue to where ssh.exe sends that message, it's neither in stdOut nor in stdErr.

• Table data generator: use only space, new line and letters in text columns, and limit to 1024 characters
• Issue #176: move foreign key column value behind the text value, in the grid foreign key drop-down, so a user may select an item by typing letters
• Leave space for column id in grid column headers. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=44161

It appears as though the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers for December 2025 (591.44 – WHQL) have increased the number of NVENC encodes to 12. We couldn’t find anything in the release notes, but someone reported it on our forums. We set up a vMix 29 preset and then added dual recordings, multicorders, SRT, telestrator and streams all with the hardware encoder ticked and… it worked with 12! This was with an RTX 5070.

Now just because you have 12 hardware encodes at your disposal, probably doesn’t mean you should try this with your 2060 at high resolutions and framerates. Definitely test out the actual number of encodes you need and experiment with the resolution and frame rate.

You can see all of the cards that support 12 hardware encodes by checking out the NVIDIA Encoder Matrix.

 The Stable channel has been updated to 143.0.7499.146/.147 for Windows/Mac  and 143.0.7499.146 for Linux, which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. A full list of changes in this build is available in the Log.
