[Gnue-announce] GNUe Tools 0.4.2 setup.exe for Microsoft Windows

[Peter Sullivan]

The 0.4.2 release of Forms, Designer and Common and the 0.1.0 release 
of Reports are now available
as a single setup.exe for Microsoft Windows, including many of the 
supported database drivers. This
is available in two versions - one with the python console window 
visible (to aid debugging) and one with it switched off. They can be 
downloaded from the website.
Thanks to Bajusz Tamas for all his work on this.

These executables have been created using McMillan (a package
which allows python code to be bundled into stand-alone executables) 
and inno (a free installer program for this operating system). They 
include all the database drivers for the free database back-ends you 
can use with GNUe, including SAP-DB (which is not only free but GPL), 
PostgreSQL, mySQL, Firebird (the free fork of interbase), plus a 
generic ODBC driver and our own GNUe Application Server and GNUe config 
file drivers (which now works). Note that due to licensing 
restrictions, we cannot include drivers for the supported non-free 
database back-ends - you will have to source and install these yourself 
if you are using a non-free
database with GNUe.

Because of all the included dependencies, the size of these downloads 
is fairly large (approx. 10MB each), so dial-up users in particular may 
find they take a while to download.

These releases are primarily aimed at developers; any bugs should be 
reported through the usual channels:

If you get a bug with the debug-off version, please also
try the debug-on version, and let us have any relevant
error messages (python tracebacks, etc) with the bug
report.
