<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Monday, a change will be made to the FDO Connection
Manager to allow creating connections from providers that are not registered in
providers.xml. CreateConnection() will now accept a library file name, in which
case the library will be loaded and the connection retrieved directly from it. The
change will be made to the trunk and will be under <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/ticket/674" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/ticket/674</a>.
There will be no change to existing functionality; CreateConnection() will
still accept names of registered providers. </p>
