Subject: [ANN] amalgalite 0.4.0 Released

amalgalite version 0.4.0 has been released.

  gem install amalgalite

http://copiousfreetime.rubyforge.org/amalgalite/

Amalgalite embeds the SQLite database engine in a ruby extension.  There is no
need to install SQLite separately.  

Look in the examples/ directory to see

* general usage
* blob io
* schema information

Also Scroll through Amalgalite::Database for a quick example, and a general
overview of the API.

{{ Release notes for Version 0.4.0 }}

* Major Enhancements
  * update to SQLite3 version 3.6.2 and enable the RTree option by default
  * Amalgalite::Requires module allowing ruby code to be 'required' from columns
    in an SQLite database
  * Amagalite::Requires::Bootstrap extension module enabling low level boot
    strapping of the pure ruby Amalgalite code from an sqlite database

* Minor Enhancements
  * more indepth information about indexes is available via the Index class
  * add support for sqlite3_status and sqlite3_db_status information

* Bugfixes
  * fix nil exception when using a declared_data_type on primary key column that
    has no declared_data_type
  * when Database#transaction is passed a block, the return value is the return
    value of the block
  * nested transactions are 'faked'.  Calling Database#transaction while
    Database#in_transaction? is true does not result in an exception, but
    continues on in the current transaction.  
  * raise LoadError if required in the same program as sqlite3-ruby.  These
    libraries conflict with each other.

enjoy,

-jeremy
