From: Jamis Buck Date: 2004-07-12T06:00:23+09:00 Subject: [ANN] SQLite-Ruby 1.3.0 Looks like there were no problems found in the SQLite-Ruby release candidate (1.2.9.1)--or at least, no one reported any. ;) Thus, I'm proud to announce the release of SQLite-Ruby 1.3.0. SQLite-Ruby is a Ruby module for interfacing with SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org) databases). Version 1.3.0 does not add any new functionality beyond what already existed in the release candidate (1.2.9.1). Thus, if you have 1.2.9.1 installed, there is no compelling reason to upgrade. New features in 1.3.0 (and 1.2.9.1): - The explicit dependency on 'arrayfields' was removed. Now, instead, you can specify that rows be returned as arrays instead of hashes, and then you can require 'arrayfields' explicitly to have the same behavior as existed in 1.2.x. - Exception classes now exist for all major error codes in the SQLite API. - 'quote', 'decode', and 'encode' were added as class methods of SQLite::Database. 'quote' will escape necessary characters in a string (like a single quote). 'decode' and 'encode' are for safely serializing and unserializing objects for storage in a SQLite database. Enjoy! Feel free to submit feature requests if you feel the library is lacking functionality you would find useful. -- Jamis Buck jgb3@email.byu.edu http://www.jamisbuck.org/jamis "I use octal until I get to 8, and then I switch to decimal."
