Krecipes 0.8.1 has been released

Most of the changes in this release can be summed up in two points: 1) it fixes crashes with empty/near-empty databases and 2) it fixes a number of performance bottlenecks. In other words, this release most affects those with very few or a whole lot of recipes.

The performance increases can be substantial -- many bring minute-long operations down to seconds.

By the way, I've decided to drop the "beta" branching from all over. The beta status is inherent, given that Krecipes is still pre-1.0 final. Personally, I'd consider Krecipes now to be between "beta" and the final 1.0 release (gamma, anyone???).

Glom 0.9.0 has been released:

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 uses the PostgreSQL database backend but it can not edit databases that it did not create, because it uses only a simple subset of Postgres functionality.
