Hello,

Vita Voom Software just released a new version of pgExpress Driver:
v2.10.

The Vita Voom pgExpress PostgreSQL dbExpress Driver is a Borland
Kylix/Delphi 6+/C++ Builder 6.0+ dbExpress Driver that directly access
PostgreSQL 7.1 or newer: no ODBC layer is needed. It can access use
almost all field types, and is compliant to the Borland specifications
of dbExpress drivers.

The pgExpress Driver is the core of the pgExpress Suite of components,
which provides the widest range of features for accessing PostgreSQL
databases.

Changes in this version include:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Multilanguage driver, new demos, bugfixes and better support for
Kylix console applications.

ADDED: Support for NOTICEs and warnings from the server, on the
TSQLMonitor. These messages will be logged automatically now. More
details here.

ADDED: The ErrorResourceFile parameter now allows loading an specific
language by default.

ADDED: New Sequences demo that demonstrates uses of sequences (or any
other server-generated values).

ADDED: New Console demo that demonstrates how to use pgExpress from a
console mode application.

ADDED: Enhanced money type detection; should work on more locales now.

ADDED: More documentation formats: html-chunked (default), HTMLHelp
(.chm file) and html (single file).

ADDED: Two new utility functions: SetLanguage and GetLanguage that
work with the multilanguage driver.

CHANGED: The formar Multilanguage distribution has been dropped due to
the introduction of the Multilanguage Driver. Now both drivers,
English and Multilanguage (which includes all languages including
English itself) are available on all pgExpress distribution packages.

CHANGED: Now htmlhelp is the primary documentation format for the
install (Windows only) version.

CHANGED: Updated libpq library to v7.3.3.

CHANGED: Updated documentation and FAQ.

CHANGED: Enhanced driver logs (those monitored by TSQLMonitor). Among
other things, now the PostgreSQL libpq and pgExpress Driver version
numbers/paths are logged (some info is available only under Windows).
The pgExpress Driver also logs its build time now. This should help
debugging.

FIXED: Fixed a bug that could lead to slow updates /connect times on
the Delphi version of the driver.

FIXED: Console apps now should work better under Kylix, not requiring
XLib™ to be present.

FIXED: Some documentation fixes:

- On v2.0, the Bulgarian language was mistakenly documented as being
"belgian". That is correct now.

- BlockRead param defaulting to True was inaccurately documented in
2.0.

- Other minor fixes.
