Glorp version 0.2.34 is immediately available on SqueakMap (upgraded 
from version 0.2.28).  The "Release Notes" for this version are 
basically identical to the prior "Release Notes", but I've duplicated 
them below anyway.

Glorp 0.2.34
Release Notes:

This has been ported directly from the Glorp version 0.2.34 in the 
Cincom Public Repository.

YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED (FROM SQUEAKMAP) YANNI CHIU'S 
POSTGRESQL-CLIENT DRIVER VERSION 0.9, which in turn will require you to 
first install Alain Fischer's ANSI compatibility suite (which again you 
can get from SqueakMap).

Yanni's PostgreSQL package also includes a number of SUnit unit tests 
(SUnit is included in the base Squeak image, and is available for every 
Smalltalk dialect). However, to use the SUnit tests for PostgreSQL, you 
need to modify the #defaultConnectionArgs instance method of the 
PGConnectionArgs class to reflect suitable connection arguments for your 
PostgreSQL installation. As it currently exists in the download above, 
it expects your PostgreSQL installation to be on your same machine as 
your Squeak installation. It also expects to use a 'postgres' account 
(with no password) for accessing it, and it will attempt to connect to a 
database called 'mydb'. If your actual installation is different from 
this, you will need to change the #defaultConnectionArgs.
 
Installing PostgreSQL on your machine is beyond the scope of these 
instructions.  But note that if the above SUnit tests don't pass, then 
it is likely you don't have PostgreSQL properly installed.  
Incidentally, a common problem that I have seen with the PostgreSQL 
installation is to start the PostgreSQL postmaster with socket 
connections turned off.

After loading Glorp 0.2.34, the following test cases will fail, for the 
following reasons:

GlorpDatabaseLoginTest>>testUnsuccessfulLogin
       This test is supposed to fail.  If it succeeds, there is a problem

GlorpDatabasePlatformTest>>testReadTimestamp
GlorpDatabasePlatformTest>>testReadTimestampNoTZ
GlorpDatabasePlatformTest>>testReadTimestampOverflowDays
       Squeak TimeStamp instances don't support milliseconds, and these 
three tests test for millisecond values.

GlorpDatabaseTypeDBTest>>testNumeric
GlorpDatabaseTypeDBRoundTripTest>>testNumeric
       Tests write a ScaledDecimal, but PostgreSQL treats it like a 
double float, which causes the test to fail when the data is read back 
in for comparing.
