[ANN] Alpha release v05.08 of the BLOB Streaming Engine

[Barry Leslie]

Hi, 

Alpha version 5.08 of the BLOB streaming engine for MySQL has been released.

The BLOB Streaming Engine is a MySQL storage engine which enables the
storage and streaming of BLOB data directly in and out of a MySQL database.

You can download the source code from http://www.blobstreaming.org/download.

For more details see: http://www.blobstreaming.org/documentation

Some of the new features in 5.08:

* It is now possible to store user defined metadata with the BLOB.

* It is now possible to assign an alias to the BLOB and then use the alias
to fetch the BLOB back from the engine.

For a full list of changes please have a look at my BLOG posting

If you have any questions or comments feel free send them directly to me.

Barry
