• Improved portability (some target architecture-related flags are no longer used allowing the compiler to make smarter choices; better clang compatibility).
• Split the regression tests from the database library and reorganized them. make check is now supported.
• The wgdb tool now handles all common management functions, other tools are deprecated.
• Fixed a memory leak in the Python module (Patrick Chen, Abishek Nanda)
• unite.sh script to create an easily embeddable amalgamation of source files (necrophcodr).
• Support clang and other compilers when compiling manually (Jean-Marie Renouard, necrophcodr).
