Here is version 4.2.3, a maintenance release, of the Libgda library.
It can be dowloaded from the usual location:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/4.2/

What is Libgda?
----------------------
Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library:
* a wrapper like ODBC but with more features to access several database
engines
* a general data model to use CVS or XML files
* a meta data extractor (to know all about database objects in a comman way=
)
* features several tools: an SQL console application (like mysql, psql
or sqlite3 consoles), a graphical database browser, and a control
center
* relies on GLib, coded in C, its API is easy to use
* optionnally includes some graphical widgets (based on GTK+) for data
bound representations and some graphical tools

Changes from version 4.2.2:
-------------------------------------
 - Correction to the expression rendering in SQL (very important!)
 - SQLite: fixed date and related formats when rendering as SQL
 - MySQL: fixed error code ignored and not available via
gda_connection_event_get_code()
 - Move convenience functions to appropriate classes
 - documentation updates
 - GdaSql and GdaBrowser: better information about configuration and added
possibility to
   clean data files and truncate data output to available width
 - build system: Enable compiler warnings by default, detect Oracle on
Windows
 - Initial support for rich text rendering in reports
 - misc. improvements
 - bugs fixed: #636439, #636608, #637010, crash in gdaui-demo, build system=
,
misc
 - translations:
- sl (Matej Urban=C4=8Di=C4=8D)
- es (Daniel Mustieles, Jorge Gonz=C3=A1lez)
- de (Christian Kirbach, Mario Bl=C3=A4ttermann)
- cs (Petr Kovar)


Notes:
---------
 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
 copy of Libgda 4.2. If you have problems, you'll need to
 reinstall it.
 * Libgda 4.2 is source and binary compatible with
 the 4.0 series.
 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

See the http://live.gnome.org/ChooseLibgdaSQLite page for additionnal
information about choosing
between Libgda and SQLite when you need a database API.
