Announce: 0.9.3
Alessandro Dentella
in this occasion I also restyled the home page of the web site in the effort
to be more communicative. Any feedback on the site or on sqlkit is very
appreciated as well as translations.
For those that use sqlkit under windows you'll find a very simple way to install
sqlkit based on WPM, more info in the download page. The debian package will
be ready in a short time thanks to Pietro Battiston for that.
