[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: HSQL 1.4 released

[Krasimir Angelov]

   I am pleased to announce the HSQL library version
1.4. The HSQL is a simple library, which provides
interface to multiple databases. MySQL, PostgreSQL,
ODBC and SQLite are currently supported.


What is new?
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. The ODBC interface provides the "driverConnect"
function which is an alternative to "connect" but
allows to use a connection string instead of DSN,
UserID and Pasword

2. The HSQL for Windows now supports MySQL and
PostgreSQL databases.

3. A binary distributions are provided. There is an
installation program for Windows-binary distribution
and there are binary RPMs for Linux. All binaries are
compiled for ghc-6.2.1 and Hugs Nov2003.

4. Some bugfixes


Known bugs
~~~~~~~~~~

There is a bug in ghc-pkg from ghc-6.2.1. If you want
to build libraries for GHCi you need to have ld.exe
somewhere in the search path. The easiest way to
workaround this is to copy ld.exe from
${GHC_INSTALL_DIR}/gcc-lib subdirectory to
${GHC_INSTALL_DIR}/bin before to install HSQL from
binary under Windows.


Credits
~~~~~~~

Great thanks to Victor Blomqvist and Conny Andersson
for their work on binary distributions.


Cheers,
  Krasimir
