[ANNOUNCEMENT] Structures_DataGrid-0.6.0 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package Structures_DataGrid-0.6.0 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Initial Beta Release - Beware of many changes to the core API ********* Warning: You must now instantiate as a reference ********** Implemented new data source layer to handle data manipluation with many different data source types such as DB_DataObject, CSV, XML, etc. The DataGrid now handles the data fetching, so if you are using DataObjects, all you need to do is bind to the dataobject with out fetching, the DataGrid will take care of the rest. Same with a DB_Result object, just simply create the result object and bind it to the datagrid.
