Today, one of our heroes, Lucas Rocha, is explaining us what's happening with this release:

Love is in the air! The GNOME 2.18.0 Beta 2 release is out to spread even more love in this Valentine's day. This is our second beta release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007.

Thanks Lucas! We all love you! Now, please, everybody hugs Lucas.

With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be.

Glom 1.3/1.4 adds some new features and minor UI changes and includes bugfixes from the Glom 1.2.x branch. It is now settling down, so it can become a stable 1.4.0 release.
