libgda/libgnomedb/gnome-db 0.8.190 have been released.

libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing
database-oriented applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL,
MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite and ODBC data sources.
gnome-db is a set of visual applications that let you access from a nice
UI all the features provided in libgda/libgnomedb.

This is a big step forward for libgda, which has seen all its CORBA
dependencies removed, resulting in a tiny library with a few
dependencies (glib/libxml) offering a lot of power (data access to many
different unrelated data sources). This has been done following the
desires of a lot of potential libgda users (Mono, GNOME Office, etc).
