*** Version 1.10.0 (stable) - API 1.9.0 (stable) - 2012-04-27


Major feature and fix release.


  #----- - Fix transactions - query(BEGIN) did not actually run when called.
  #----- - Refactor Link and join code 
      - link code moved to DB_DataObject_Link, new option generate_link_methods, new method link()
      - make the links option work with autojoin, add setter feature to links()
      - support links option on autojoin
      - add support for excluded columns on autoJoin
      - more detailed check on assigning numbers in link()
      - new link syntax in generated methods
      - make links() support same array syntax as joinAdd(), and change links() to
          support input as func_get_args() for the second argument, cleans up wrapper code..
      - support joinAdd(array("local_col", $dataObject, "remote_col"), "LEFT"), 
          extra debugging on count(), and case sensitive checking on numRows (not sure if that was needed..)

  #----- - remove notes relating to MDB as they are not relivant anymore
  #----- - SVN/git has new directory layout
 

  #----- - Add pid() - a quick way to get the value from the primary "id" column of the database
  #----- - add sqlValue() - a factory method to create a DB_DataObject_Cast Object
  #----- - nice warning on failed to write to temporary file
  #----- - fixes to correctly support portability in selectAs()
  #----- - fixes to correctly support portability in joinAdd

  #----- - lower case links and ini during load, when portability set, fix handling in joinAdd

    
  #----- - add experimental support for posgresql introspected native keys

  #----- - move assignment to error in raiseError after it actually happens, this should
             ensure _lastError gets set correctly as the aliased setting does not appear to 
             work very well..
  #----- -  find() will return false when an error occurs (rather than 0)
  #18995 - Remove error_reporting settings from tests (closes bug #18995).
  #18931 - typos in comments - rasmus would appreciate this one... (depreciated to depricated)
  #----- - support ini_database in foreign key generation, and regex matching on strip schema
  #----- - document change to generator_strip_schema which now supports regexp to strip from
           matching schemas
  #----- - add support for portability in tableName() - most references to tablename will
             now call tablename, so that code working on mysql can work on postgres, 
             where tables are mixed case in mysql.
  #----- - document build_views change
  #----- - support _TEXT type (postgres view returns this.)
  #----- - support build_views=schema.views for building dataobjects from views with schemas
  #18767 - use argv0 for the usage line, and ensure that is is run from cli sapi
 

*** Version 1.9.6 (stable) - API 1.9.0 (stable) - 2011-08-29


Small fix release.

  #18749 - Fix is_a() for 5.3.7+ due to php-core stupidity
  #18602 - optimize fetch - thanks to shadesofgraylin
  #18605 - optimize sprintf in toArray()
  #18446 - use table() method rather than accessing static global.
  #----- - toArray support for only returning returned columns use "0" as the second parameter
  #----- - allow tableless dataobject connect() call to work
  #----- - disable overload using DB_DATAOBJECT_NO_OVERLOAD on PHP5 - Im supprised no one ever noticed this - overload is EVIL ;)
  #----- - Add autoJoin method, which will build a full join with all related tables.
  #16867 - fix doc comments - change to public methods for the ones that are supposed to be overridden
  #17637 - fix detection of non-existant links files resulting in defaulting to autolinks

*** Version 1.9.3 (stable) - API 1.9.0 (stable) - 2010-01-15


Fix broken release (1.9.1 and 1.9.2)

fetchAll() / whereAddIn() Release version.

This version adds two new utility methods, that can speed up usage,
fetchAll()  - does the $do->find() / while($do->fetch()) $ar[] = clone($do) loop, and more.
whereAddIn() - allows you to quickly build IN queries, with correct escaping.
   

*** Version 1.9.0 (stable) - API 1.9.0 (stable) - 2009-12-03


Modular Release version.

This version was designed to support multiple locations of DataObjects for use with
modular applications. - NOTE the change to ini_DATABASENAME may fixes the previous behaviour to 
match the documented behaviour - however this may break existing installations.

New Features:
#-------  class_location accepts multiple locations with PATH_SEPARATOR 
#-------  class_prefix accepts multiple prefixes with PATH_SEPARATOR 
#-------  ini_DATABASENAME merges all found ini files in paths (seperated by PATH_SEPARATOR)
            previous behaviour was just to read the first. - this applies to matching links.ini files.
#12550 -  disable_null_strings=full -- see the bug report for details - it is highly recommended not to use this feature,
          as it may result in data being deleted from your database if not used carefully.

Notes:
#-------  staticGet now marked depreciated.
#-------  links_DATABASENAME does not support multiple paths
#-------  staticAutoloadTable (depreciated) and staticGet (depreciated) do not support this feature

    * #8628 - tableInfo fix for MDB2
    * #7792 - add integer[] and boolean[] support

        getLink() - as I suspect automagically doing that would cause
        problems..
    * #7409 - ibase support for filename based database names - not sure if this works, but 
         will ask reporter to test it..
    * #7353 - postgres incorrect testing of t/f for booleans

        option:generate_links=true - thanks to Pacal Schoni    
    * add warning about unknown types in generator.
    * only prefix database name, in joins when the two objects are of different databases
    * nicer error message for !isreadable - thx to Euan Maxwell
    * use class exists loader, so that relative test relative paths in
        tests work, (also means that autoload may work...)
    * remove pass by reference - why on earth that was there in the first place is totally beyond me...    
    * give derivedHookFunctions the ability to use the original input data
    * add methods 
        getClassNameFromTableName(),
        getFileNameFromTableName(), 
        getMethodNameFromColumnName(), 
        which allow you to set up your own mapping system by overriding them in
        your extended generator.. it however needs some support in dataobjects so currently 
        flagged as EXPERIMENTAL

Major Bug Fix & Feature release.

Bugs:

#4871 - remove warning when value is not found in table
#4834 - case sensitive checks for db_dataobject_cast fail
#4894 - Validate methods can return PEAR Errors, or even
        messages now.. - only true indicates success
#4938 - support MONEY type for MSSQL
#4968 - count() will not be affected by changing default
        db fetchmode
#5036 - make sure DB is loaded before using it
#5264 - add optional dep on MDB
#5416 - use tablea AS tableb only for postgress/mysql -
        oracle doesnt need the AS bit - and I guess a few others too..
        available and first fetch fails
        conditions
#5614 - joinAdd check to see if object being joined is
        really a dataobject
#5065 - count returns number cast to an integer (even
        though database may return a string)
#5800 - generator will continue creating other tables if we find one
        that fails...
#5881 - wrap conditions with extra brackets
        remaining checks in validate
#5393 - flag up unique only keys as "U", rather than "K"
        (or "N" for native) to allow anything calling keys() to find more
        detailed information - should have no effect on the dataobject
        class, as only sequence keys looks for "K"

Feature Requests:

#5146 - option: generator_var_keyword,
        to specify if you want to use var or public

Other Changes

    default behaviour.. so it shouldnt really have affected anyone..
    amazed no one picked this up before..
* make WHERE stripping better  = well spotted Justin
* catch errors returned from nextID - like permission denied etc.,
    add warnings in debug mode if we are using objects  or arrays for
    some reason, fix error messages
* correct the dependancy on packages
* the dont die here causes a recursive error and segfaults
    everything if it doesnt return..
* use is_a, rather than PEAR, as one day we may remove that dep...
* fix PHP4.4* issues with returning by reference..
* make debugging schema loading errors a bit easier
* test for bug #5931 added to test 91
* update($dataobject), change check for changes to strict checking,
    so that 0001 -> 00001 works, along with many other situations..,
    remove extra ; from code
* fix null detection on postgres, - patch by Alistair MacDonald
* free result columns as well as results after fetching all rows.

*** Version 1.7.14 (stable) - API 1.7.14 (stable) - 2004-06-25


Bugfix release (Mostly)
Special thanks to Dan Rossi for the MDB Backend work on this release.

Key changes:
  - SQLlite support for files.
  - MDB Backend support (experimental) use:  
      db_driver = MDB
      as a config option.
      NOTE: the generator will probably not work.
     
  - toArray() has an extra argument (bool)hideEmpty, 
    which prevents it returning key/value pair when the value is empty 
  - DB_DataObject_Cast object was redesigned to enable better quoting of 
    blobs
  - PostgresSQL schema  for tablenames can be removed with the 
      generator_strip_schema = 1
  - Fetch return value and  object->N are now "true", rather than 1 
    when numRows is not supported, (also document it on find())
 
 
Bugs Fixed. 
  * fix bug #4672 - query(COMMIT) relays return value from DB->commit()
  * fix bug #4535 - fix update/select etc. for postgres with boolean values.
  * fix bug #4601 - wrong method used to test if file for sqlite
  * fix bug #4193 - sqlite names causing invalid .ini files
  * fix bug #4518 - escape and transactions fixed for MDB backend
  * fix bug #4431 - add hideEmpty to toArray() - not sure if I really
                    like this.. - adding args to methods, the root of all evil ;)
  * fix bug #4383 - generator getListOf() call now expects pear errors
  * fix bug #4235

*** Version 1.6.1 (stable) - API 1.6.1 (stable) - 2004-06-03


Minor Bug Fix

* fixed count() breaks when countWhat used.
   

*** Version 1.6.0 (stable) - API 1.6.0 (stable) - 2004-04-24


Minor Feature Release and many bug fixes..

* DB_DataObject_Error added to enable testing for dataobject errors
* Date fixes - needs latest date package.
* Generator fails with clear message if backend doesnt support tableInfo
* added cidr, inet, macaddr for postgres
* new options to filter generation of classes
  generator_include_regex = /foo_.*/i
  generator_exclude_regex = /tmp_.*/i
* result column list is now stored for all queries (in the result object)
  so toArray() allways relates to the query.
* php version correted in package file.
* getLinks called before other database call fixed.
* Updating without changing things, no longer raises a pear error,
  it just returns 0 (eg. no rows affected)
* now Depends on 1.4 DB - escapeSimple is now used
* extra option to disable assumtions to use pear db's nextID
  dont_use_pear_sequences = true
* DebugLevel($val) if $val is not an integer - it is assumed to be a callback.
* fixed clearing of data results after last fetch (reduces memory consumption 
  when doing many queries)
* strtolower any class name tests.
* count accepts 1 or 2 arguments
  $countWhat or $whereAddonly, or $countWhat and $whereAddonly
  eg. $countWhat = "distinct id"
  eg. $countWhat = true (means $whereAdd = true)
* selectAdd() returns existing value, so you can modify it.
* most debugging & raiseError calls are dynamic, so you can overload them.
* numbers allowed in tablenames.
* ini filename uses database_{projectname} => {projectname}.ini so
  database names are portable, and multiple projects are theoretically feasible.
* __clone is replaced with clone() for PHP5 compaitiblity.
* use PEAR::getStaticProperty("DB","options") for oracle portablity settings.
* null checked against not null spec.

And probably a few more - as it's been quite a while since the last release..

*** Version 1.5.3 (stable) - API 1.5.3 (stable) - 2004-01-29


Bug fix release.

Changes:
  - fixed toValue()
   ** previously did not work correclty..
   ** getXXX($format) correctly relays into toValue - see strftime / Data::format or sprintf
     for formats, depending on column type.
  
Fixes
* fix bug #630 - correct handling of YEAR (it's an int)
* fix bug #630 - mysql timestamps are ingored for updated and insert (use query() if you want to change
  them manually.
* fix bug #620 - limit accepts floats and doubles, as long as they are really integers..
   

*** Version 1.5.2 (stable) - API 1.5.2 (stable) - 2004-01-24


Bug fix release.

Changes:
  - removed automatic strtotime() in setters and setFrom
   ** this is closer to the previous behaviour (it caused too many problems with strange dates
   ** if you set a date/time column with a number, it assumes it is a unixtimestamp
   -- enables you to write setters like 
    function setSome_Date($value) { $this->fromValue('some_date',strtotime($value)); }
  
Fixes
* $DB_DataObject->getDatabaseConnection() will return a pear error if dont_die is set,
so it can be used to test connections.
* note changed on databaseStructure, it can be called statically and dynamically.
* fix bug #612 databaseStructure('databasename') will output the ini file structure array , with __keys
* fix bug #611 corrected comment about NO_OVERLOAD
* fix bug #603 to prevent clearing of queries after fetch, use the option keep_query_after_fetch = 1
* fix bug #359 (again) - _link_loaded array should only contain links that where sucessfully loaded
   

*** Version 1.5.1 (stable) - API 1.5.1 (stable) - 2004-01-22

  option sequence_{tablename} = {column}:{sequence_name}
