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.

See the http://live.gnome.org/ChooseLibgdaSQLite page for additionnal
information about choosing
between Libgda and SQLite when you need a database API.
