BookBase

Users can now backup and restore their entire bookbase database. A menu bar with various items, including as a status option that describes connection details, was added. The password entry now clears after a disconnection. Some bugs introduced in 0.8.6 where the date entries and the comments fields did not accept input were fixed. The 'All' and 'None' buttons now work as intended.

A new 'Remove' option to exclude multiple book rows from a search without deleting them from the database, ability to remove muliple records from the results window using the Delete key, autosizing columns after every search, and new 'Loan Book' functionality.

Sorting of generated reports is now available. GNU automake & autoconf were implemented to replace hacked Makefiles. A rudimentary report printing system, a function to check ISBNs for validity, and simple user config files have been added. Major bugs causing segfaults when running odd custom searches have been fixed.

Use of GNU automake/autoconf, providing a painless compile and install process instead of the hacked up Makefiles of previous releases.
