[gnome-db] Libgda 4.1.11, last before 4.2



I'm pleased to announce the release of Libgda version 4.1.11. This
version will be the last one before the 4.2 version. It features some
corrections and the new SQLCipher database provider through which one
can encrypt an SQLite database. The addition of the database provider
so late in the process did not cause any new code to be written (only
compilation and configuration file) and enabled to find some last
minut bugs.

What is Libgda?
----------------------
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 4.1.10
--------------------------
 - misc corrections
 - new SQLCipher provider (integrated SQLCipher into Libgda) to encrypt
   SQLite databases
 - translations:

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.
