From kde-announce Thu Feb 17 02:36:13 2005 From: Mike Richardson Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 02:36:13 +0000 To: kde-announce Subject: [kde-announce] Rekall-2.3.3 and RekallWeb-0.1 available Message-Id: <200502170236.13796.mike () quaking ! demon ! co ! uk> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-announce&m=110863551017542 The latest development release of Rekall (version 2.3.3) and the first development release of RekallWeb (version 0.1) is now available from: http://www.rekallrevealed.org/ About Rekall ----------------- Rekall is a database front end in the sense of MS Access (or KNoda or Kexi). Rekall includes: * Drivers for MySQL and PostgreSQL * Driver XBase (DB4) files (via the XBSQL wrapper library) * Read-only driver for DBTCP (http://www.fastflow.it/dbtcp/) * Table design and data access * Graphic form, reports and query design and execution * Creation of reusable components for use in forms and reports * Database import/export via a generalised "copier" * Fully scriptable using Python with built-in debugger * Ability to construct reusable components for forms and reports * Basic database dumping and loading * Stock database loading, including loading from web servers About RekallWeb ----------------------- RekallWeb is a set of CGI scripts, implemented in Python, which allow you to access your Rekall database via a web browser. Please note that this is very much in-development, but the website www.rekallrevealed.org is now driven by RekallWeb. The database behind this (or rather, a recent dump) can be downloaded and installed using Rekall's stock database facility. See how the magic works! Rekall 2.3.3 --------------- This is the latest development release. Below is a summary of the changes compared to the 2.2.x releases: * Supports "dynamic" form layouts (where the layout changes as the window is resized, like dialog boxes). * Toolboxes (can be turned off to behave like 2.2.x) * Control wizards (can be turned off to behave like 2.2.x) * Simplified scripting for common cases (eg., field.value = 'Mike') * Documentation browser (like a stripped down Qt Assistant) * Stock databases: load a predefined database. Can also load from a web server. Autotools hell now completely obliterated, uses scons (www.scons.org) as its build system. Yes! Yes! Yes! Lets bury autotools for good! 2.3.3 builds as both KDE and QT3-only versions, requires QT3.3 (FC2/3, SuSE91/92, Mdk100/101......).
