ANNOUNCE: Glom 0.8.16

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** Glom

Glom is a GUI that allows you to design database table definitions and the
relationships between them. It also allows you to edit and search the data in
those tables. The design is loosely based upon FileMaker Pro, with the added 
advantage of separation between user interface and data.

Glom uses the PostgresSQL 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:

Glom is written in C++, with gtkmm, Bakery, and libgdamm.

*** Obvious/Known problems.

* There is no way to administer the users.
* The User Level is not dependent on database access rights.
* There is no printing/reports.


*** Changes

glom 0.8.16:

* Relationships:
  -  Allow the developer to specify whether related records 
  should be created automatically.
  - Do not clear the To Field column when the user clicks on it.
* Details/List views:
  - Automatic creation of related records:
  When you enter a value in a related field, when their is 
  not yet a key value to identify the related record, a 
  record can be create automatically, and the key value 
  will be filled in for you.

glom 0.8.15:

* Related Fields:
  Details and List views can now show fields from related records.
  Just choose the relationship when you choose the field on 
  the layout. This even works in Related Records portals.
* Non-editable fields:
  When choosing a field for a layout, you can specify whether 
  editing of the field should be allowed.
* Dialogs are more HIG-compliant, using secondary text.
* Now requires gtkmm 2.6 instead of 2.4.
