[Vivien Malerba <vmalerba gmail com>]

Here is version 4.2.5, a maintenance release which contains a rather important bug fixed when using virtual connections, of the Libgda library.
It can be dowloaded from the usual location:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/4.2/

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 version 4.2.4:
-------------------------------------

 - corrected regression which prevented correct execution of SELECT statements

   by virtual connections

 - new NSIS based installer for the GdaBrowser tool under Windows

 - embedd MDBTools when compiling for Windows

 - misc other corrections

 - translations:

- cz (Marek Černocký)
