ANNOUNCE: Glom 0.8.14

[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 0.8.14:

* Details:
  - Related Records now work, including automatic addition of new 
    related records.
  - In developer mode, you can right-click on fields to choose a 
    different field.
  - In developer mode, you can right-click on related records to 
    choose a different relationship and choose the fields to show.
  - Groups may now contain the same field more than once.
* Details and List: Automatically-generated primary keys do not 
  need to be displayed.
* List: Avoid GTK+ warning when clicking on empty space in the 
  TreeView.
* Example:
  - Make some fields lookup their data from relationships:
    Invoice Lines gets product information from the products table,
    and Invoices looksup the customer name from the contacts table.
  - Warn if people recreate a database on the server from a 
    read-only example file, because they will probably want to 
    change things.
