Libgda 4.1.3 released

[news 28]

I'm pleased to announce version 4.1.3 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)

* features several tools: an SQL console application (like mysql, psql

or sqlite3 consoles), a graphical database browser, and a control

center

* 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 4.1.2

--------------------------

- GdaBrowser improvement

- UI extension corrections

- libgda's core improvements: better BLOB handling, better API for

GdaSqlBuilder,

GdaDataSelect

- misc bug fixes

- Translations:

- de (Mario Blättermann, Christian Kirbach)

- es (Jorge González)

 

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.
