The latest version of Andromeda now makes use of the YAML format for our 
database specification files, replacing a home-grown solution used in 
the past.

The database specification file is the heart of an Andromeda 
application, as it contains a complete description not just of table 
structures, but of security, constraints, and automations.

Adopting YAML gives us the advantage of using a format that people are 
already familiar with (and growing more so), plus the advantage of using 
a freely-available parser, and of course not having to maintain our own 
parser any more.

The tutorials and Introduction on the website have been updated to 
reflect the new format.
