ANNOUNCE: Glom 1.12.4

[news 28]

*** Glom

 

With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between

them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the

data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields.

It's as easy as it should be.

* Python calculations/scripts:

Fix a crash when calling python functions that return dates.

(Murray Cumming) Bug #603686. (Andrew Ruthven)

When defining drop-down choices in the custom formatting, show the correct

relationships. Noticed by Michael Hasselmann and Andrew Ruthven.
