Build Status
---------------------------
| Platform | Status |
|----------|--------|
| Windows | [](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/actions/workflows/windows-build.yml) |
| Debian/Linux | [](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/actions/workflows/linux-build.yml) |
| macOS | [](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/actions/workflows/macos-build.yml) |
| Fedora Flatpak | [](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/actions/workflows/fedora-flatpak-build.yml) |
Notice:
Now you can download latest Windows snapshot builds directly from the [Build Flamerobin for Windows](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/actions/workflows/windows-build.yml) Action
Building
---------------------------
For detailed build instructions for all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS), see the
[BUILD.txt](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/blob/master/BUILD.txt) file.
**Notice:** FlameRobin is currently undergoing a major migration to the `fb-cpp` database library and has been upgraded to **C++20**. Please ensure contributions are compatible with the C++20 standard.
Roadmap & Modernization
---------------------------
* [Project Roadmap](ROADMAP.md) - Track the progress of the migration to `fb-cpp`.
* [Database Abstraction Layer (DAL) & fb-cpp Migration](docs/migration-to-fb-cpp.md) - Detailed architectural documentation.
macOS distribution builds
---------------------------
For producing a signed, notarized `FlameRobin.app` distributable to other
Macs (build + bundle dylibs + sign + notarize + staple + zip in one step),
see [dist/macos/README.md](dist/macos/README.md). One-shot release:
```sh
dist/macos/release.sh
```
Wiki
---------------------------
Additional documentation and guides are available on the [FlameRobin Wiki](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/wiki).

License
---------------------------
FlameRobin code is licensed under the MIT license.
A copy of the license can be found in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/blob/master/LICENSE) file
Part of code covering IBPP library is licensed under IBPP license.
A copy of IBPP license can be found in src/ibpp folder.
Internal fb-cpp Library
---------------------------
FlameRobin uses a patched version of the [fb-cpp](https://github.com/asfernandes/fb-cpp) library. These patches are necessary to support delayed transaction starts and transaction-less statement preparation, which are critical for FlameRobin's Data Access Layer (DAL).
The library is built using a custom vcpkg port located in `ports/fb-cpp/`. The patches are applied automatically during the vcpkg build process from `ports/fb-cpp/fb-cpp-flamerobin.patch`. This ensures that the upstream submodule in `src/fb-cpp/` remains clean.
### Updating Patches
If you need to update the patches (e.g., after updating the submodule):
1. Use the synchronization script to generate a new patch:
```bash
./utils/sync-fbcpp.sh
```
2. The script will now automatically update `ports/fb-cpp/fb-cpp-flamerobin.patch`.
3. Verify that the project still compiles and then commit the changes.
