Data sources and installed providers are now handled using the GdaConfig object, with the particularity that there can only be one such object instantiated per program.

The GDA_DSN_LIST_IN_MEMORY environment variable which , if set, prevented Libgda from writing the list of defined data sources to a file has been removed. To obtain the same result, one must force the creation of the unique GdaConfig object with the user-file property set to NULL.

BLOB handling in the PostgreSQL provider has changed and is now similar to JDBC and ODBC: the provider does not handle orphaned BLOBs (which is a problem specific to PostgreSQL). See the section about PostgreSQL's limitations for more information.

Connections are now opened using gda_connection_open_from_dsn () or gda_connection_open_from_string () depending on how the connection is defined

Upon opening a connection, the username and password arguments have been replaced by a more flexible arguments passing mechanism where providers can specify what authorization parameters they use

gda_server_provider_get_last_insert_id() has been removed in favor of the "last_insert_row" argument of the gda_connection_statement_execute () and gda_connection_statement_execute_non_select () methods. If that argument is not NULL, then if the statement is an INSERT statement, the argument will contain a list of values, one for each column of the modified table.

The GdaServerProviderInfo structure has been removed as it was useless, and the gda_server_provider_get_info() has been replaced by a gda_server_provider_get_name () method to access the provider's name.

gda_data_model_get_value_at () now has an extra GError argument to return an error if getting the value has failed

gda_data_model_get_column_index_by_name() has been replaced by gda_data_model_get_column_index()

gda_data_model_get_value_at_col_name() has been replaced by gda_data_model_get_value_at_column()
