The documentation which relies on gtk-doc is quite up to date with the API, but what's missing are general guidelines or FAQ style informations. There is however some documentation about the migration from the previous stable versions, and some code example in the gnome-db-demo program. Of course any new documentation is always welcome. About the new release, I'm currently fixing some problems with BLOB fields in the providers which support them, and testing the whole libraries with a custom personnal application to test the useability of the API in a "large scale" application. I would like to do a release 3.0 when there are no blocking points (the remaining problems will go into minor releases).
