Revision history for Perl extension Class::Tables.

0.28 Tue Jul 6 2004

• Use diag() in test.pl instead of print
• Schema cache with Storable
• field() accessor update
• undefs correctly handled as NULLs everywhere

0.27 Sat Feb 7 2004

• More tests.
• Can now manually skip test suite in Makefile.PL (for jeffa).
• New Postgres support.

0.26 Thu Jan 22 2004

• Added POD section about subclassing.
• Optional "tablename_" prefix for any column (idea from Ron Savage).
• Added support for SQLite, including first attempt to factor out driver-specific stuff.
• Changed interface for enabling/disabling Lingua::EN::Inflect stuff and cascading deletes.

0.25 Sun Jan 12 2004

• Test suite bugfixes.
• Workaround for bizarro behavior with DBI::fetchall_arrayref.

0.24 Sat Jan 10 2004

• DBI speedups & misc query optimizations.
• Test suite rewrite & cleanup, now get database info for `make test` from Makefile.PL (the right way (I think)).
• Cascading deletes implemented.

0.23 Fri Dec 19 2003

• Big change: pluralization using Lingua::EN::Inflect. See the massive POD updates for what this means.
• Near rewrite of the POD.
• Different dump() method output, to better suit HTML::Template.
• Modularized accessor type detection. This made it easy to allow more flexible column naming. Now department_id column can be a foreign key ref (accessor is still named department). Also the primary key of the employee table can be employee_id.
• Indirect (reverse-mapped) foreign keys can now take additional query constraints.

0.22 Thu Oct 16 2003

• An actual test suite, nice!
• Whaddya know, the test suite found a bug in foreign key mutators.
• POD updates, including adding a copyright notice. Oops!

0.21 Wed Oct 15 2003

• First public release!
• Decided on a name: Class::Tables.
• Small improvements, like manual ref counting on the stub objects.

0.20 Complete rewrite, with a lot of new ideas. Inside-out objects to avoid

        concurrency problems, cached statement handles, etc. I posted an RFC on
        Perlmonks and got a fairly positive response so decided to clean it up,
        find a name, and release it.

A long long time ago:

        I wrote a little DB abstraction and called it MikeroDBI. I used it a
        lot. The actual code, however, was kinda nasty. We'll call these dark
        ages versions 0.0x through 0.1x.
