Greetings,

I am pleased to announce the latest release of DBD::Sprite, v. 0.30.
This new version supports encryption, blobs, and fixes a few bugs.  
The relavent information from the README file is included below.


- ADDED ENCRYPTION OPTION! If the "Crypt::CBC", and "Crypt::IDEA" or "Crypt::DES" are \
available, you can connect specifying "sprite_Crypt => 'IDEA;any_key_string'" (use \
"DES" in lieu of "IDEA", if so inclined). To read in existing unencrypted tables and \
write them out encrypted, use "sprite_Crypt => 'encrypt=IDEA;your_key_string'". To \
read in encrypted databases and write them back unencrypted, use: "sprite_Crypt => \
'decrypt=IDEA;your_key_string'". Note: Any method of encryption that Crypt::CBC \
supports may be used instead of IDEA or DES, if you have the module installed.  TODO

- Added better "BLOB" support. BLOB/LONG/MEMO fields no longer have default length \
specified as 5000 and data should no longer be truncated. 

- Fixed bug there double-backslashes in data inserted into a table were converted to \
a single backslash. 

- Fixed bug where specifying a negative number in a "where" clause as an unbound \
constant, returned all records and set the field in all records to that number \
(ouch!) 

     My next plan is to attempt making BLOB data to be stored in separate 
flat-files and only references to them stored in the main table flat-file.

Enjoy!

Jim
