ANNOUNCE: HSQL 1.6 released

I am pleased to announce the HSQL library version 1.6. The HSQL is a simple library, which provides interface to multiple databases. MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC, SQLite and MSI (new) are currently supported.

What is new?
~~~~~~~~~~

1. HSQL is fully Cabalized.

2. Windows users dont need to have cygwin in order to build HSQL. The old build system was using ./configure script which is replaced with hooks in ./Setup.lhs script.

3. HSQL is split into multiple Cabal packages. There is one common package hsql and multiple database specific packages: hsql-odbc, hsql-postgresql, hsql-mysql, hsql-sqlite, hsql-sqlite3, hsql-msi

4. There are two new database frontends: SQLite3 and MSI. The SQLite3 frontend is for SQLite version 3.0 and above. The old SQLite frontend still exists. MSI is fontend to Microsoft Installer database. Each .msi package is a relational database which you can query and modify using HSQL.
