I'm pleased to announce version 4.1.1 of Libgda, a 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
* optionnally includes some graphical widgets (based on GTK+) for data bound
representations
and some graphical tools
Changes from 4.1.0
--------------------------
- it is now possible to use a system installed SQLite, and now uses
SQLite 3.6.17 if embedded
- new Oracle driver (provider)
- improved MySQL and PostgreSQL drivers (providers)
- console program improvements
- new UI extension based on GTK+
- new program to manage data sources graphically
- new program to "browse" a database's schema
- improved documentation

- Lots of corrections and small improvements
- Translations:
- es (Jorge Gonzalez)
- nb (Kjartan Maraas)
- sv (Daniel Nylander)
- de (Mario Blättermann)
- it (Marco Ciampa)
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.
