[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTML_QuickForm2-2.0.1 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTML_QuickForm2-2.0.1 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
Bug fixes
 * When using HTML_QuickForm2_DataSource_Array and its descendants elements'
   updateValue() implementations now differentiate between "no value available
   for an element" and "explicit null value provided for an element"
   (see bug #20295). Custom DataSources may implement the new
   HTML_QuickForm2_DataSource_NullAware interface to achieve the same.
 * Contents of Static elements added to Repeat are no longer cleared (bug #19802)
 * Client-side rules for containers within Repeat are correctly removed when
   removing a repeated item (bug #19803)
 * Client-side validator is always generated for a form with a Repeat having
   some client-side rules on its child elements, even if Repeat is empty
 * Unit tests updated to work with newer PHPUnit, prevent running tests twice
   under some circumstances (see bug #19038)

Other features and changes
 * Calling HTML_QuickForm2_Container_Group::setValue() will clear values of
   those grouped elements that do not have a corresponding key in the passed
   array. Passing a null or an empty array to setValue() will clear the values
   of all grouped elements. Previous behaviour was counter-intuitive.
 * Added HTML_QuickForm2_Element_Select::getOptionContainer() (request #19955)
 * HTML_QuickForm2_Container_Group::setValue() properly handles a group of radio
   elements (request #20103)
 * HTML_QuickForm2_Element_Date::setValue() can accept an instance of DateTime
 * Extracted removeErrorMessage() from removeRelatedErrors() of qf.Validator
   for easier customizing of client-side errors output

Package Info
------------
PHP5 rewrite of HTML_QuickForm and HTML_QuickForm_Controller packages.

 This package provides methods to create, validate and render HTML forms.

 Features:
   * Supports all form elements defined by HTML standard, provides several
     custom elements
   * Server-side and client-side validation, several common rules provided
   * Multipage forms (tabbed forms and wizards)
   * Pluggable elements, rules, renderers and renderer plugins

 Major advantages over PHP4 version:
   * Most of the package's functionality is covered by unit tests
   * DOM-like API for building the form structure, new streamlined API for
     elements' values handling
   * Default rendering without tables (inspired by
     HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Tableless)
   * Renderer plugins for elements with complex rendering needs
   * Ability to chain validation rules with 'and' and 'or'
   * Client-side validation can run "live" on changing the form fields,
     validation errors are displayed near the fields instead of in alert()
