ANNOUNCE: sqlite-simple 0.2.0.0: mid-level API to the sqlite database

sqlite-simple provides a convenient API to sqlite that performs
automatic data conversion between the database and Haskell types. The
API has been modeled directly after postgresql-simple which in turn
borrows from mysql-simple.

The library is available on hackage at

  http://hackage.haskell.org/package/sqlite-simple

Notable changes since the previous announcement:

- Better thought out module exports - this release makes it possible
to add user-defined FromField instances (see
https://github.com/nurpax/sqlite-simple/blob/master/test/UserInstances.hs)
- sqlite-simple was upgraded to use the latest direct-sqlite 2.2
- As part of the release, the Snap sqlite-simple plugin
snaplet-sqlite-simple was upgraded to the latest sqlite-simple.  See
