-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 pysqlite 2.3.1 released =======================
I'm pleased to announce the availability of pysqlite 2.3.1. This is a bugfix release, but it includes important fixes. Users of pysqlite 2.2.1 to 2.3.0 should definitely upgrade. Go to http://pysqlite.org/ for downloads, online documentation and reporting bugs. What is pysqlite? pysqlite is a DB-API 2.0-compliant database interface for SQLite. SQLite is a relational database management system contained in a relatively small C library. It is a public domain project created by D. Richard Hipp. Unlike the usual client-server paradigm, the SQLite engine is not a standalone process with which the program communicates, but is linked in and thus becomes an integral part of the program. The library implements most of SQL-92 standard, including transactions, triggers and most of complex queries. pysqlite makes this powerful embedded SQL engine available to Python programmers. It stays compatible with the Python database API specification 2.0 as much as possible, but also exposes most of SQLite's native API, so that it is for example possible to create user-defined SQL functions and aggregates in Python. If you need a relational database for your applications, or even small tools or helper scripts, pysqlite is often a good fit. It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and does not depend on any other Python libraries or platform libraries, except SQLite. SQLite itself is ported to most platforms you'd ever care about. It's often a good alternative to MySQL, the Microsoft JET engine or the MSDE, without having any of their license and deployment issues. pysqlite can be downloaded from http://pysqlite.org/ - Sources and Windows binaries for Python 2.4 and Python 2.3 are available. ======= CHANGES ======= - - Implemented a workaround for SQLite versions < 3.3.3: they are buggy and cannot use sqlite3_result_error from certain callbacks. So we cannot abort queries from callbacks. For these SQLite versions we set the Python exception and catch it later on when sqlite3_step is finished. - - Plugged a memory leak that affects pysqlite versions 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.3.0: due to wrong usage of weak references, an internal list of weak references was always growing with each new statement text executed on the same connection. - - Removed a call to enable_callback_tracebacks that slipped in the test suite. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEmG+qdIO4ozGCH14RAhP1AKC28KMKzup8JuBnAnXSXwG7BdZzvgCfYDMm 5aCJ/bhuAZLCRFK7Nauj9Gs= =7o3U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
