The game of the name

The ChronoDB project has been renamed CrNiCKL. I noticed a naming conflict with an unrelated product and decided to change the name when it's still harmless.

Chronicles are the most important objects in the ChronoDB CrNiCKL database. So I started from them to find a new name. I settled on CrNiCKL because it can be pronounced like "chronicle" and there are practically no hits for it in Google. I also decided to write the name with most of the letters in uppercase, so it stands out in text.

The software remains available under its old name, for a while at least, but won't be updated. Blog posts related to ChronoDB will not be updated but will get a notice about the rename.

The new project website is http://agent.ch/timeseries/crnickl/.
