Lip-DB version 0.1.2 has been released with the major new feature being the Super-Easy Installation feature. It is now no longer necessary to perform complex configuration to set it all up - allowing any non-expert to set it all up quickly and simply.

Other new features include better cross-browser support, links added for related records and better filtering for invalid user input.

Version 0.1.2 can be downloaded from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lip-db/lip-db-0-1-2.zip

The latest version of Lip-DB has been released and is available for download. Important bug-fixes have been included which will ease installation and allows it to run on PHP 5. If you had difficulty running version 0.1, please try again!

Lip-DB, version 0.1 has now been released. It provides basic functionality allowing the user to create tables, add data and search and browse that data.

This is the first step towards usefulness of the product and as such has been released. Please note that a critical file was missing in the first release attempt - this has now been rectified. Simply download again if you are missing this file: db-scripts/lip-db-setup.sql.
