Description Peter Ruskin 2004-07-11 17:25:30 UTC
Sorry, Caleb... After 3 months of development and testing Horst Knorr has just released a new stable version of hk_classes and knoda. A lot of things have changed, so here are the main new features:

* Knoda has a completely new GUI now, which is much more KDE-like (see
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/knoda_mainwindow_kmdi.html).

* A "query by example" GUI makes it possible to create queries without the 
need to write SQL statements (see 
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/qbe.html).

* A SQLite driver was added, thus Knoda has a local database format which 
makes it possible to store the whole database in a single file. ( in 
~/.hk_classes/sqlite2/localhost and has the extension '.hk_sqlite')

* Queries, forms and reports can be optionally stored within the database, 
which allows a central distribution of these objects (see the menu points 
Administration/Database settings and Administration/Object handler). 
hk_classes will create a system table called "HKCLASSES", you should restrict 
the write access to this table using the privilege system of your database 
server.

Also many bugs are fixed, particularly reports should work much better now.

Committed. :) Just a bit ebuild hacking feedback, Peter. The kde-base.eclass is deprecated, use "inherit kde" instead. The headers are invalid -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-mistakes.xml Thanks for pointing me to the sqlite support. Most likely I would have missed this dependency.
