In order to improve compatibility with guile-2.0, while maintaining compatibility with guile-1.8, this release uses guile_config to automatically determine the correct libraries to link to. In addition, pkg-config is used to find the sqlite3 and mysql include files and libraries as well.

guile-dbi version 2.1.2 is now available. guile-dbi is a database-independent scheme interface to the Postgres and MySQL databases.

This release fixes a major memory leak in the Postgres backend.

guile-dbi + guile-dbd-mysql + guile-dbd-postgres hit major 2.0

Upgrade api to use new guile 1.8.

Changes in Guile DBD Postgresql 1.0.3:

• Implement automatic reconnection after a db server failure

(ex. broken socket, network down etc...). The number
of reconnection attempt is set by an optional parameter
in the connection string, if omitted no attempt is done.

• Improved query return values check.

• Add connection string format in the README file.

suggestions and comments are always welcomed

thanks

This release implement a test framework (using greg,
http://www.gna.org/projects/greg/ ) for build verify.

A bug (found implementing the test suite) is fixed too. This bug
crushed (with a seg fault) when a the user try to close a closed
dbi connectio (which is a bad thing, but could be done :) )

Any comments or suggestions are always welcomed.
