That is what Rodrigo suggested to me, although he wasn't completely sure.
Yes, he is right: from 4.2, there will only be one Libgda source archive containing Libgda, the UI extension replacing Libgnomedb and the GdaBrowser replacing (more or less) Mergeant. This is already in place with release 4.1.1. > > If that's correct, is there a rough timeline for 4.2? Most if not all of the new features are currently implemented in version 4.1.1, and only the GdaBrowser needs a bit more work because it can only for now be used to browse a database's structure. So, I think you can reasonably expect a few more 4.1.x versions with a 4.2 by the end of the year.
