I'm pleased to announce version 4.1.0 of Libgda, which is the first
development version which will lead to a 4.2 release.
Short description:
------------------------
Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library:
* a wrapper like ODBC but with more features to access several database
engines
* a general data model to use CVS or XML files
* a meta data extractor (to know all about database objects in a comman way)
* comes with an SQL console application (like mysql, psql or sqlite3
consoles)
* relies on GLib, coded in C, its API is easy to use
Changes from 4.0.2
---------------------------
- API and ABI compatible with 4.0.x versions
- new API to execute statement asynchronously
- new API to build DML (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE) statements
the easy way
- new flag to open a connection in a sub thread, to be able to use
a connection from several threads, even if the connection does not
support it
- the GdaMetaStore object is now thread safe
- new API to represent data organized as trees
- new API to execute a single statement several times, each execution with
different parameters' values
- documentation and examples improvements
- bug fixes
- Translations:
- eu (Inaki Larranaga Murgoitio)
Tarballs are available at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/4.1
Pease note that Win32 archives are also available at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/
Notes:
* This is unstable development release. While it has had
a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
remaining to be found. This release should not be used
in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing
copy of Libgda 4. If you have problems, you'll need to
reinstall it.
* Libgda 4.2 will be source and binary compatible with
the 4.0 series.
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
