Let's have a little more details about this last change. This is an important change. Since Piwigo 2.1 (may 2010), Piwigo has an experimental support for PostgreSQL and SQLite. In practice, some bugs are reported on SQLite/PostgreSQL and are not fixed, this support brings additional constraints for coding and nearly no plugin using database is compatible with Pg/SQLite. People interested in Piwigo for Pg/SQLite support are disappointed because the feature is buggy and incomplete. Consequently we have decided to remove support for PostgreSQL and SQLite and focus on MySQL. More details and discussions can be found on topic:18008
