Release notes ------------- 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 #4203 - schema mess with postgres. generator_strip_schema=1 will strip the schema part from the name of the table. * fix bug #4168 - if connection test is sucessfull, dont try and connect..
