    29 					As an author of a program that generates or consumes some data, you could add relational input and output to your program. 
       
    30 					But please mention that we do not have v1.0 yet, so these features should be marked as experimental. 
       
    31 					The API might/will change. 
       
    32 					Other (and maybe better for now) option is to add input/output of values separated by null byte (<code>\0</code>).
       
    33 					This "API" will be supported for sure and data are simply the attribute values. There are no record separators (we know the number of attributes, so they are not needed).
       
    34 					Disadvantage of this approach is that the stream can contain only a single relation; and that the metadata are not embedded in the stream and must be passed separately.

    36 				<li>Review our source code and suggest improvements and fixes. Constructive criticism is always welcome. This is one of reasons why we publish our programs as free software.</li>
       
    37 				<li>Native speakers could suggest improvements and corrections of our English texts.</li>
