Hi Maciej.
First of all, thank you and the team very much for SOCI. IMO it's a very
good work and it served very much to my work in an enterprise level software
of which I participated in the development. Second, I would suggest to
change the status of last release from 3.0 to a git snapshot or your
suggested slimmed down version (which I agree with your opinion in this
mail) because I think it is a source of confusion in going to the download
link in the website http://soci.sourceforge.net/ to get to our 2008 release.
Last, take longer to change that download option would make it appear to
people looking for this good Lib that it wasn't updated since 2008. It's not
a question of release often. Just not longer :)
Thanks,
Francisco
