[ANNOUNCEMENT] DB_DataObject-1.6.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package DB_DataObject-1.6.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- 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.. Package Info ------------- DataObject performs 2 tasks: 1. Builds SQL statements based on the objects vars and the builder methods. 2. acts as a datastore for a table row. The core class is designed to be extended for each of your tables so that you put the data logic inside the data classes. included is a Generator to make your configuration files and your base classes. nd Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject Changelog: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=DB_DataObject Download: http://pear.php.net/get/DB_DataObject-1.6.0.tgz Authors ------------- Alan Knowles <alan@akbkhome.com> (lead)
