This is mainly a bug fix release with some little news (see the changes section on the home page for more details). I'm sorry for not having added all patches but I don't have time to follow druid now.</p> <p>This consideration lets me introduce a new choice I have made that is related to the roadmap. I have already started to code <br /> druid 4 but this task will require a *lot* of work due to the features I want to add, like:</p> <p>- table hierarchies<br /> - support for users, schemas<br /> - complex datatypes<br /> - undo/redo<br /> - full drag'n'drop<br /> - etc...</p> <p>Because I have no time to dedicate to druid the only solution is to try to make some business out of it. I have decided to collect some funds using the donation system. I will code and release druid 4.0 as soon as I reach a given amount of money.</p> <p>I have estimated that to code the 4.0 release (without jdbc access and erviews) I will need about 25.000 EUR (for coding and writing docs). This is not a big price: the download counter for druid 3.5 is over 5.000 and this means a donation of 25.000/5.000 = 5 EUR for each download.</p> <p>If you have used druid with profit I think it is time to support the project.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Andrea</p></div>Andrea CarboniSun, 22 May 2005 01:07:15 -0000https://sourceforge.net1a6e88a1767dfe4bea45f16c246668b67b800810
