                      ANNOUNCE: sqlkit 0.9.5.1

                          Feb, 26 - 2012


I'm happy to announce release 0.9.5.1 of sqlkit package for Python.

  http://sqlkit.argolinux.org/

This release
------------

Some minor improvements in filters: a new filter operator that adds Empty or
NULL searches (the OR conjunctin was not possible via GUI) and a shortcut to
the process of selecting a filter, writing in it and reloading:
Control-Alt-f fron the mask/table *field* entry (as opposed to "from the
filter's field entry). A fix in the image field whose deletion was not
working. Now works whith libreoffice as well as openoffice as template engine.

The python package
------------------
SQLkit PyGtk package provides Mask and Table widgets to edit database
data. It's meant as a base for database desktop applications.

The application
---------------
It also provides 'sqledit' a PyGTK application based on sqlkit that can be
used from command line to browse and edit data.

The package has 2 very rich demo suites for sql widgets (the main one in
sqlkit/demo/sql/demo.py) and for layout creation
