Hi,

We're happy to announce the release 1.2.2 of ViTables, the GUI for the PyTables
and PyTables Pro packages.

The current release focuses on fixing usability issues and bugs. It also gives
support for larger datasets (up to 2**64 rows). You can see the change log for
details:

Once more, you are encouraged to buy ViTables, test it, use it, and spread the
word.

And now, the official announcement:

=========================
Announcing ViTables 1.2.2
=========================

We are proud to present ViTables 1.2.2, the latest release of our viewer for
PyTables/HDF5 files.

As it happens with the entire PyTables family, the main strength of ViTables is
its ability to manage really large datasets in a fast and comfortable manner.
For example, with ViTables you can open a table with several thousand million
rows almost instantaneously, and throw queries on it that run in typically less
than a few tenths of second (if PyTables Pro is behind it) with very low memory
requirements. The fact that it runs on top of PyTables ensures its speed and
memory efficiency. Being a multiplatform application, ViTables runs flawlessly
in Unix (and hence, GNU/Linux), Mac OS X and Windows. Finally, for a better
user experience, we have created binary installers for Windows and Mac OS X.
The Unix version is installable using Python distutils.

In this release you will find some bug fixes and usability enhancements,
among them:

- capability for navigating datasets whith even 2**64 rows
- enhanced displaying of datasets
- Spanish translation added

Platforms
---------

At the moment, ViTables has been fully tested only on GNU/Linux, Windows
and MacOS X platforms, but as it is made on top of Python, PyQt and
PyTables, its portability should be really good and it should work just
fine in other Unices.

How to get it
-------------

Enjoy Data with ViTables, the troll of the PyTables family!
