Release and Development

I don't have CVS access available, nor "nightlies" or anything like that. But check out the diffs page which lists changes since the last release.

2005-08-03 - v0.9.3
Major revision: database connection has been abstracted via PEAR::DB. Ochiba has been tested with and now supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Compatibility for other databases that PEAR::DB supports is untested. Note: due to lack of views in MySQL prior to version 5, stats are not currently available for MySQL installations.
Also new in this release is a Javascript based slideshow. It will present a slideshow of all images found on the page on which it was invoked.
