ANNOUNCE: Glom 0.8.37

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** 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.

Glom uses the PostgreSQL database backend but it can not edit databases
that it did not create, because it uses only a simple subset of Postgres
functionality.

Here are some screenshots, with explanations:

Glom is written in C++, with gtkmm, Bakery, and libgdamm. It uses 
Python for calculated fields, with help from pygtk.

*** Changes

glom 0.8.37 - changes since 0.8.32:

* List view (and related records lists)
  - Instead of double-clicking to open record details, you can now click 
  on the small Open button on each row.
* Details view:
  - ID fields that identify a unique related record (e.g. a Company ID on 
  a contacts record) now have an Open button, so you can go quickly to 
  the related record.
  - Related fields, with automatic related-record creation:
  Really write the new value into the related record, instead of 
  just creating the related record.
  - The default layout is now more useful.
  - Field titles are now visible again when there is only one 
  item in a multi-column group.
* Layout design:
  - Don't forget related fields when reopening the layout dialog.
  - Change related field names on layouts when renaming fields.
  - Change relationship names on layouts when renaming relationships.
  - Field selection dialog: Now sorted alphabetically.
  - Group names can be changed again.
* Relationships:
  - Relationships may now optionally not allow editing of 
  related fields.
  - Allow more than one relationship to the same table.
  - Create a suitable title when adding a relationship.
  - System tables are no longer shown.
* Tables:
  - New tables have a description and a comments field as 
  well as the primary key.
  - System tables are no longer shown.
  - Prevent crash when deleting the currently-shown table.
* Added Image field type. (Murray Cumming)
