ANNOUNCE: Alzabo 0.79_03

0.79_03  October 18, 2003

ENHANCEMENTS:

- Many doc rewrites and updates.

- Documented row state classes.

- Added back the no_cache parameter to avoid caching one or more rows.

- Moved the relevant documentation from Alzabo::Runtime::PotentialRow
into Alzabo::Runtime::Row.

BUG FIXES:

- Fixed the NAME portion of the Alzabo::MySQL and Alzabo::PostgreSQL
POD files so that search.cpan.org doesn't think Alzabo::MySQL is the
Alzabo.pm file.  Reported by Darren Duncan.

- The 12-rev_engineer_pg_fk.t test would try to load DBD::Pg even if
you weren't using Postgres, which would cause the test file to die if
DBD::Pg wasn't installed.  Reported by Jost's smokehouse.

- More documentation updates to remove outdated information.

- Split out the documentation in Alzabo.pm into Alzabo::Intro and
Alzabo::Design.

- Added a FAQ from a question on the mailing list.  Suggested by
Terrence Brannon.

- Eliminated a circular reference between tables created via the
Alzabo::Runtime::Table->alias() method, and the columns those alias
tables contain.  This required the use of weak references.

NOTE: Alzabo regular tables and columns have circular references to
each other, but this normally isn't a problem because you generally
want to keep a whole schema around all the time anyway.
