0.94  Wed Aug 27 2003

	New Functionality
		- allow has_a() columns to hold NULL values (Dominic Mitchell)
		- cascading deletions can be turned off by passing argument to
		  has_many setup: no_cascade_delete => 1 (undocumented/untested)
		  [now implemented as a trigger]
		- classes and objects can be marked as read_only (experimental and
		  undocumented, although tested)

	Documentation
		- no longer refer to Class::DBI::Join, which is dead
		- warn about inflating a primary key using has_a
		- rewrite of docs on transactions
		- numerous small tweaks from Jay Strauss, Alexander Karelas and Brad
		  Bowman
		- redocument dbi_commit and dbi_rollback that have vanished...

	Bug Fixes
		- make sequences work again (Dominic Mitchell) [now with tests!]
		- interpolation of __TABLE__ etc now happens globally, rather than
		  only once [Corion]
		- might_have now properly does a cascading delete
		- Fixed problem where we can't update an object which might_have a
		  relationship, but doesn't.
		- might_have's tentative, but broken, support for MCPK has been
		  removed.
		- Increase Class::Accessor pre-requisite to 0.18 to fix strange bug
		  reported by Casey West.
		- Make sure we don't alter the hashref being passed to create()
		- The after_create() trigger is now called after the object is
		  emptied, and will thus be able to see objects in has_a columns
		  (by reloading from the DB) [If you were using this
		  trigger to alter the columns to be cleaned out this
		  can (for now) be done using the 'create' trigger,
		  although that's deprecated. Let me know if you really
		  need this ability.

	Deprecations
		- move() is deprecated. The concept is broken and will be removed
		  unless someone convinces me to keep it.
		- normalize* are no longer necessary, due to the new Column objects,
		  which store their normalized and unnormalize form. (Calling these
		  will have no effect, other than a warning).
		- has_column deprecated in favour of find_column

	Other
		- init() now takes hash to instantiate with (Tim Bunce)
		- Rewrite of _require_class, with better short-circuiting and error
		  message reporting (Tim Bunce)
		- new Class::DBI::Column to represent a column. Some functionality
		  moved from ColumnGrouper to here.
		- mutator and accessor name overrides now stored in column, and not
		  looked up every time.
		- attempt to trap and propogate all DBI failures 

0.93  Wed Jul 2 2003

	New Functionality
		- Multi-column primary keys are now supported. [with huge thanks to Tim
		  Bunce]
		- New syntax for inbuilt SQL
		- classes can control stringification via as_string() and
		  stringify_column().
		- set_sql automatically translates __TABLE__, __ESSENTIAL__, and
		  __IDENTIFIER__

	Performance Improvements
		- use Storable's dclone() rather than Data::Dumper's deepcopy

	Documentation
		- document the order_by option to search() [Drew Taylor]
		- fix the documentation of the DBI connect string [Phil Crow]
		- document working with pre_create triggers
		- add a note on dynamically generating a database connection
		- avoid using (shift => $val) due to quoting issues! [Simon Wilcox]
		- refer to Class::DBI::Oracle for sequences [Jay Strauss]
		- give better explanation for construct() [Jay Strauss]
		- document get/set with multiple arguments [Jay Strauss]
		- more detailed description of arguments to has_a()

	Bug Fixes
		- Bug with setting driver defaults [Jay Strauss + Schwern]
		- Bug where selecting a column that was only in 'All' group also
		  attempted to fetch any TEMP columns. [Dominic Mitchell]

	Removal of Functionality
		- Undocumented ordered_search method has been removed in favour of
		  order_by option to search.
		- Undocumented make_filter method removed in favour of add_constructor
		- add_constructor no longer does (undocumented) %s substitutions
		- (undocumented) single_value_select() method no longer takes raw
		  SQL fragments.

0.92 Sat Apr 12 2003

	New Functionality
		- classes named after reserved SQL words can now supply a
		  table_alias either directly, or as a second argument to table().

	Deprecations
		- hasa() now calls has_a() with a warning. It will disappear
		  completely in a forthcoming release.
		- issue warning on use of old hasa_list

	Bug Fixes
		- class data properly propagates (i.e. two classes can once again
		  have has_a relationships of the same name) [Miyagawa + Marty]
		- only deflate columns that are changing on update.

	Other
		- croak if update() does not change exactly one row [Tim Bunce].
		  (Not yet live)
		- The Essential column group now defaults to Primary rather than
		  All. 

0.91 Sat Mar  8 2003

	New Functionality
		- has_many can now take an extra set of search parameters at execution
		- has_many mapping method can now be a list
		- Class->delete(@search_args) deletes all results matching search
		  criteria.  
		- search can take a final hash of arguments. Currently the only one
		  honoured is 'order_by'
		- searches deflate objects passed as search values as with has_a()
		- iterators can be slice()d
		- classes can provide their own iterators 
		- columns in the TEMP column group will be non-persistent
		- set_sql automatically sets up a search_ method for that SQL
		- constraints can cross-check using new syntax, and per_column
		  trigger points.
		- the after_update trigger can modify the list of changed columns
			to change refresh behaviour 
		- Can delete via the iterator: $cd->artists->delete_all
		- New Class::DBI::Query module for dynamically constructing queries
		- Standardised exception handling (thanks to Tim Bunce)
			- on_failed_create no longer needed
		- overloading of objects
		- autoincrements work with SQLite

	Deprecations
		- commit() and autocommit() are now update() and autoupdate()
		- rollback() is now discard_changes()
		- hasa() now warns if used
		- trigger points create() and delete() warn when called
		- trigger point on_setting no longer exists

	Optimisation
		- has_a lazy inflates other Class::DBI instances 
		- roll our own require rather than depending on UNIVERSAL::require
		 (thanks to Tim Bunce)
		- Don't add __Changed = {} to every object on creation,
			just autovivify it on demand. (Tim)
		- Avoid calling $self->primary_column in a loop in create() (Tim)
		- Use fetchrow_arrayref instead of fetchrow_array. (Tim)
		- Return from _deflated_column earlier if value is not a ref. (Tim)
		- Use $sth->{NAME_lc} instead of $sth->{NAME}. (Tim)
		- Optmize _normalized and normalize. (Tim)
		- optimise various calls to columns() (Tim)
		- don't reflesh after an update - defer for lazy loading
		- Iterator no longer inherits from Class::DBI itself.

	Bug Fixes
		- has_many maps now work as iterators
		- columns only report as being in group 'All' if they're in no
		  other columns (so lazy loading works in those cases!)
		- calling create with a primary key of zero no longer attempts to 
			use auto_increment (Tim Bunce)

	Other
		- reference Class::DBI::AbstractSearch
		- retrieve_from_sql removes any leading 'WHERE' 
		- inflate handles overloading better (thanks to Tim Bunce)
		- Avoid boolean test on object, use defined instead.
		- Tweak create() to prepare for possible caching of colmap info.
		- better documentation on transactions
		- test suite now uses DBD::SQLite instead of DBD::CSV
		- consolidated some test scripts

0.90 Wed Nov 27 GMT 2002

		- added retrieve_from_sql() for inline SQL
		- documented running arbitrary SQL and using sth_to_objects to 
			convert these to objects. (Making sth_to_objects public too)
		- has_many can now call a mapping method on the results
			(for simpler many-to-many joins, for example)
		- has_many adds an 'add_to_<whatevers>' method 
			e.g.  CD->has_many(tracks => Track);
			now adds not just 'tracks' method, but also 'add_to_tracks'.
			(thanks to Michael Styer)
		- try to guess table name if none given
		- speed up iterators (thanks to Tom Renfro)
		- added (undocumented) data_type method
			(thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa)

		- before_create trigger can now modify object itself
		- uses UNIVERSAL::require instead of rolling our own
		- marked primary_key(), is_column(), add_hook() as deprecated
		- changed _ids_to_objects to receieve listref, rather than list
			to cope with weird bug in 5.005_03 (thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa)
		- warn if column name clashes with built-in method
		- third argument to has_many is now optional, defaulting to our
		  'class-name' (undocumented)
		- provide normalised method names if appropriate (i.e. a Film column
		  will give us methods $obj->Film and $obj->film). This previously
		  happened inconsistently.
		- split most of the column related code to Class::DBI::Columns
		- remove dependency on Class::Fields
		- reference the new Class::DBI mailing lists
		- Give better errors if no database connection set up 
			(thanks to Simon Cozens)
		- A failed create now calls $class->on_failed_create, which by
		  default dies, but can be made to do whatever you like. 

0.89 Mon Jun 24 2002
		- allow has_many to not have a relationship 
			(Thanks to Brian Parker)
		- renamed (undocumented) min() and max() to 
		  minimum_value_of() and maximum_value_of()
		- croak() and carp() deprecated in favour of _croak() and _carp()
		- primary() and essential() deprecated in favour of 
		  primary_key() and _essential()/columns(essential);
		- normalize_one() deprecated in favour of _normalize_one

			(reported by Jim O'Brien)
		- added (undocumented) 'column_type' based on ideas from
		  Matthew Simon Cavalletto and Tatsuhiko Miyagawa.
		- brought delete triggers in line with documentation
			(reported by Barry Hoggard, fixed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa)

      interaction between overloaded iterator and Test::More's ok() 
      prototype  [Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]

0.86 Fri Mar  8 GMT 2002
    * removed support for pseudo-hashes
    * hasa_list is now has_many 
      (although has_many still exists for backwards compatability)
    + has_many auto-generates reciprocal hasa decalaration
       (unless called as hasa_list, or with { nohasa => 1 })
    * searches now return iterators when used in scalar context
    - hooks are now called 'triggers' (using Class::Trigger)

    * added basic constraints
    + added support for filters on the same column
      (%s >= ? OR %s <= ?)
