Elephant 0.3.0 is now released.<BR>
<BR>
The following capsule has been added to the introduction section of the documentation, which<BR>
has a<A HREF="http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/doc/SQL-back_002dend.html"> large section</A> describing the extensions in this release:<BR>
<BR>
This release, Elephant 0.3, also provides support for relational backends. It has been tested with Postgres and SQLite 3. It is back-compatible with any code that ran against previous versions of Elephant, but also supports simultaneous multi-repository operation and convenient migration of data between repositories. This hopefully allows decisions about the prefered back-end storage mechanism to be delayed and changed, even after an application that uses Elephant is mature.<BR>

This is the work that was done in the branch SQL-BACK-END, which I have now merged into <BR>
the trunk of the projects CVS repository and tagged ELEPHANT-0-3-0. (I have also created a <BR>
tar file and reference in the project homepage:<BR>

If you choose to download and try this release, please send me a note, whether you are <BR>
successful or have problems. At present I am capable of being very responsive to problems<BR>
with this system.<BR>
