0.16    04 Dec 2007
        * fix typo in Tutorial so it shows up in search.cpan.org
        * fix Controller->do_search() to always include query for view's use,
        even when there are no results.

0.17    19 Dec 2007

0.22    04 Jan 2008
        * add treat_like_int() support to Model::Utils

0.23    20 Jan 2008
        * added REST API
        * added allow_GET_writes Controller config option, to prevent casual GET /save or /delete requests.

0.24    22 Jan 2008
        * always fetch() in REST->default, to fix bug with no object being set for create()
        * always uc() the req method for comparison purposes
        * fix bug when checking the _http_method param to use params() instead of param() and use the first if multiple.
        * refactor REST to provide backwards compat with Controller for easy @ISA swap (as advertised)

0.25    1 Feb 2008
        * fix bug to clarify what happens when form_to_object() returns false.

0.26    06 May 2008
        * fix bug in Iterator to test for !next() rather than !defined(next())
        * re-set action in ::REST->default so that RPC-style template naming works
        * use :Path instead of :Private on ::REST->default
        * fix several bugs with action() set in ::REST
        * ::Controller->form now calls NEXT::form. This is for REST compat and @INC oddness.
        * added new ::ModelAdapter class and refactored base Controller to use it.
        * moved make_pager() from base ::Model to ::Model::Utils
        * added new ::Test classes to ease writing controller-agnostic tests.
        * new, optional 'make_query' method in Controller.
        * move AUTOLOAD() and can() hackery out of base Model into base Object where it belongs.
          Now there is only 2 sins instead of the 3 in previous releases (where we no longer
          monkey-patch the subs at run time).
        * refactor tests to actually perform some CRUD.
        * add ::ModelAdapter::File example.
        * add envvar CXCRUD_TEST in base CX::CRUD to cluck() stack traces on exceptions. Mostly
          useful during testing since the ::Test::Controller now returns only the error.
        * renamed 'buffer' to 'content' in ::Object::File.
        * ::Model::File->fetch() will now always return an object even if it does not yet
          exist on the filesystem.
        * change default create() method in Controller to call methods directly instead of forward()ing.
        * add create() method to REST that just redirects to create_form().
        * change from 'use NEXT' to 'use Class::C3'
        * added support for "x-tunneled-method" param to REST controller in addition to "_http_method". 
          This is for compat with Catalyst::Request::REST::ForBrowsers.

0.27    12 June 2008
        * fix Controller->rm() to check for model_adapter() and call its delete() method as advertised.
        * check for length($oid) instead of defined($oid) in REST->default
        * added CatalystX::CRUD::Results class
        * added naked_results() config option to base Controller
        * refactored base Controller to make all config options into accessors. added t/02-controller
        * change Model::Utils to use req->params rather than param()

0.28    11 Aug 2008
        * API for ModelAdapter changed to pass controller instance in do_model()
        * add get_primary_key() and make_primary_key_string() methods to base Controller. 
          This allows for PKs composed of multiple columns.

0.29    23 Aug 2008
        * fix typos in the Tutorial
        * add relationship methods to Controller, ModelAdapter and Model core API.
        * added sugary alias methods for read(), update() and delete() to match CRUD.
        * refactored REST controller to support related methods and provide better
          HTTP status checks and responses.

0.30    11 Sept 2008
        * fix uninit value warning in Controller
        * change REST create() : Local to _rest_create() : Path('create') to make it easier for
          create_form() to call create() in superclass.
        * clean up old style $self->config->{value} to instead use $self->value in Controller
        * add app_class() and model_meta() accessors to ModelAdapter 
        * in base Controller, rename view_on_single_result() method to uri_for_view_on_single_result and make
          accessor for the config value 'view_on_single_result'
        * change all reserved param names in Model::Utils to use 'cxc-' prefix instead of '_'. Backwards compat
          is preserved where possible.
        * Model::Utils make_query() will uc() sort direction 
        * change behaviour of get_primary_key() in base Controller to not look in req->params for pk values.
          This allows for changing the PK as part of an update.
        * add new() in REST to call next::method. Works around (some) multiple inheritance issues.
        * check for $c->res->location before redirecting in postcommit()
        * Model::Utils was refactored to use Search::QueryParser::SQL. The following methods were affected:
           * sql_query_as_string() -- removed
           * params_to_sql_query() -- now returns hashref with 3 items:
                     - query isa Search::QueryParser::SQL::Query object
                     - query_hash (formerly query) is a simple param-name => [values] hashref
                     - sql is the output of S::QP::S::Query->rdbo
           * make_sql_query() -- returned hash ref now has query_hash as plain_query value
             and the stringify'd Query object as plain_query_str

0.31    16 Sept 2008
        * add missing req to Makefile.PL
        * force field_names to be an ARRAY ref in Utils make_sql_query()

0.32    21 Oct 2008
        * use Class::Data::Inheritable to define delegate_class() class accessor in base Model

0.33    22 Nov 2008
        * fix Tutorial wrt RT#40846

0.34    24 Nov 2008
        * fix make_primary_key_string to return undef if multi-col PK has no values

0.35    24 Nov 2008
        * call edit() after initializing object and form with passed in params, so that the init_form()
          method can have all data already set.
