It's been over a week since I posted my gripe about the current state of
maintainership for this project, and no word yet from Sinisa.
Apparently it's mine.
So, I've made my first version, 1.7.10. Nothing major here, just fixing
up my biggest problems with 1.7.9:
o Applied my omnibus GCC 3.3 patch. See
http://lists.mysql.com/plusplus/3326 for details.
o Got autoconf/automake build system working with current
versions of those tools again. Removed the generated
autotools files from CVS.
o Renamed library file from libsqlplus to libmysqlpp.
I also updated the README file appropriately.
What's in the future for MySQL++? You'll notice that I didn't call this
v1.8.0. I won't do that until there are major features added, or
something like that.
Sinisa, you said you had big plans for the next release. Can you send
me patches of what you indended to add to 1.7.9? Or, at least describe
the ideas? Also, can I use MySQL's CVS server, or will I need to find
my own CVS space if people demand anonymous CVS downloads?
I intend to revive RPM building at some point in the near future.
Also, I understand that there are some partial patches out there for
Borland and Intel compiler support. Anyone who is interested in having
these folded into the main distribution, please email them to me.
Notice the new email address. Please don't use the 'warren' address for
MySQL++ messages.
