libgda/libgnomedb 0.99.0 released

Gnome DB
Gnome DB

libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framework for developing
database-oriented applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL,
MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS
SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.

This release is RC1 for the final 1.0 release, so it should be almost
identical as the final 1.0.

Just a quick note...

... to stress the relevance of this ChangeLog entry:

- Added more API documentation (rodrigo)

Thank you very much, Rodrigo. I can't even begin te describe how important this is to me. I really love the Gnome-related libraries we have right now, but there're still so many places where APIs documentation could be improved (or written in the first place).

I'm pretty much convinced I'll end up using libgda for every software project involving data persistence (GUI-based or not), and this particular item from this news makes me very, very happy.

Thanks!
