After 3 months of development and testing I just have released a new stable
version of Knoda. 

Knoda is a database-frontend for Mysql, Postgresql, SQLite and ODBC. Besides 
tables and queries knoda comprises forms and reports. It is scriptable via 
Python.

A lot of things have changed, so here are the main new features:


* Knoda has a completely new GUI now, which is much more KDE like (see
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/knoda_mainwindow_kmdi.html).

* A "query by example" GUI makes it possible to create queries without the
need to write SQL statements (see
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/qbe.html).

* A SQLite driver was added, thus Knoda has a local database format which
makes it possible to store the whole database in a single file. ( in
~/.hk_classes/sqlite2/localhost and has the extension '.hk_sqlite')

* Queries, forms and reports can be optionally stored within the database,
which allows a central distribution of these objects (see the menu points
Administration/Database settings and Administration/Object handler).
hk_classes will create a system table called "HKCLASSES", you should restrict
the write access to this table using the privilege system of your database
server.


Also many bugs are fixed, particularly reports should work much better now.


Please send bugreports, feature requests or comments as usual to
bugreport@knoda.org or to the mailing list
hk-classes-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net

Horst
