ANNOUNCE: Rel version 3.016 now available!
This release of Rel, an implementation of Date & Darwen’s Tutorial D database language, fixes a bug that prevented the Rel DBMS ‘BACKUP’ command working and thus prevented correct operation of DBrowser’s backup facility, and changes the schema of the sys.Version relvar.
- Fix: Reorganisation of the Rel build infrastructure inadvertently made the internal backup script inaccessible. This has been corrected, so backups — whether via DBrowser or BACKUP command — should now work.
- Enhancement: The format of the sys.Version relvar has been simplified to remove the multiple version attributes and replace them with two attributes: db_version for the database format, and product_version for the release version.
- Enhancement: Spelling changed from ‘updateable’ to ‘updatable’ in error messages where it appears, to be consistent with typical use.

heh heh the gremlins of version release strike.
you say potayto and I say potahto. Does 'typical use' really favour one spelling so much? Or is it a Brit/U.S. difference?
Although widely used, the 'e' version verges on 'wrong'. OED and Google usage say it really is updatable. [My browser spell check accepts neither.]

That, basically. Various spell-checkers -- including the one built into the IDE I use, IntelliJ IDEA -- whinge about 'updateable' but accept 'updatable' (as does the Safari browser I'm using right now) and some whinge about both, but none that I've tried appear to consider 'updateable' valid.
