Release 0.4 of Eric Marsden's socket-level PostgreSQL interface is now
available from

   http://home.tiscali.de/emilio.lopes/scheme/

Changes:

 * Experimental support for Scheme 48 1.5.

   The only currently available authentication mode is "password".
   Support for MD5 authentication would be possible by porting PLT's
   MD5 library to Scheme 48.  Is anyone working on this?

 * The "demo" file was turned in a test suite.

   The test suite uses SRFI-78 ("Lightweight testing"), which is included
   in Scheme 48 but not in Scsh.  A prepackaged implementation for Scsh
   can be downloaded from the page above.

 * The handling of date/time objects was updated and improved and now
   uses SRFI-19 for portability.

Sample session using Scheme 48:
