0.10_4

- fix Makefile.PL bug

- auto select a column when adding a relation (if there is a logical
one to select).

0.10_3

- Fix bug with deleting foreign key objects from tables.

0.10

**FIRST BETA VERSION**

- Doc bug fixes in Alzabo::Runtime::Schema.

- Fix fact that Alzabo::Runtime::Row rows_by_foreign_key method could
return either a Row _or_ RowCursor object.  Now it always returns a
cursor object.

- Fix fact that no_cache parameter was not propagated through the
RowCursor object to the rows it created.

- Add all all_rows method to Alzabo::Runtime::RowCursor.

- Add ability to reset instantiation flag in schema creation
interface.

- Updated INSTALL to mention how to get the schema creator and data
browser working.

- Finally make creating relations between tables _without_ specifying
the columns work.  This does some, IMHO, pretty cool DWIMmery.

- Added primary_key param to Alzabo::Runtime::Table make_column
method.

- Added set_host and host methods to Alzabo::Runtime::Schema.

- Added drop method to Alzabo::Create::Schema and necessary support in
driver modules.

- Changed 'id' param to 'pk' for Alzabo::Runtime::Table row_by_pk
method.  'id' still works, for now, but is deprecated.

- Fix problem where an insert could generate a referential integrity
exception but still end up in the database.  Note, without
transactions (in MySQL, for example), there's no way to make the all
of the referential integrity code work correctly 100% of the time.

- Added new class Alzabo::ObjectCache to make sure that objects stay
in sync after referential integrity operations happen.  This is now
the default caching class.  Please make sure to read the docs for this
new module, particularly if you're running Alzabo under a persistent
environment where this module can be quite the memory hog if not used
properly (clear the cache!).

- Fixed breakage in maintenance of referential integrity caused by
switch to cursors (and me not fixing all the code that expected row
objects).

- Added Alzabo::Runtime::Cursor base class.

- Added join method to Alzabo::Runtime::Schema.  *EXPERIMENTAL*

- Added Alzabo::Runtime::JoinCursor class.  *EXPERIMENTAL*

- Began conversion of all classes from pseudohash to hash.

- Both schema creator and data browser now respect user choice of
component extension.

0.09

- MAJOR CHANGE: All the Alzabo::Runtime::Row methods that used to
return lists of rows now return the new Alzabo::Runtime::RowCursor
object.  This change is a major speed and memory optimization.  It
does, however, break the old interface.  But its worth it.

- Set autohandlers for schema maker and data browser so that they
won't inherit from other autohandlers higher up the directory tree.

- Fix bug in Alzabo::Driver which made it so that the one_row_hash
method always returned a hash with keys.  This caused spurious row
object to be created in the Alzabo::Runtime::Row class.

- Fix bug in Alzabo::Table::rows_where method where it wasn't handling
the construct $table->rows_where( where => { foo => undef } )
properly.

0.08

- Lazy column evaluation had made it possible to create an
Alzabo::Runtime::Row object that did not correspond to any data in the
database if its table object did specify any rows to prefetch.  This
would have only been discovered later by calling the select method on
a non-primary key column.  This hole was plugged.

- As a corollary to the above change methods in Alzabo::Runtime::Table
that produce rows now always return an empty list or undef when the
rows cannot be made because the specified primary key doesn't exist.
Previously, the rows_by_where_clause method did this while others
would cause an exception either during the object creation or later,
depending upon the situation described above.

- GENERAL NOTE: I probably used exceptions too much, as in the above
case.  I will probably be making a few more changes like this in the
future.

- Bug fix in Alzabo::RDBMSRules when making SQL diffs.  Forgot to
account for new foreign key method names.

- Bug fix related to MySQL auto_increment column and
Alzabo::Runtime::Table insert method.  Basically, you couldn't insert
an to a table and use its auto_increment feature.

- Alzabo::Table::set_prefetch now makes sure that primary key columns
are not included.  It simply ignores them but they will not be
returned by the prefetch method.

- fix bug where some row retrieval methods would fail if not given a
'bind' parameter.

- Doc bug fix.  Docs for Alzabo::Runtime::Table listed group_by_column
as simply group.  Of course, this probably only needs to be used by
Alzabo::Runtime::Row anyway.

- Added Alzabo::Runtime::Table rows_where method.

- Added Alzabo::Runtime::Table all_rows method.

- Documented 'bind' parameter for Alzabo::Runtime::Table
rows_by_where_clause method.

0.07

- Fixed major bugs in Alzabo::Runtime::Table::insert method.

- Fixed bug in Alzabo::Runtime::Row::delete method related to API
change in 0.06

- Reduce amount of work done in Alzabo::Runtime::Row when referential
integrity maintenance is set to false.

- Added new method to Alzabo::Runtime::Row: rows_by_foreign_key.  A
row can now fetch the rows that are related to it automatically.

- Made all Alzabo::Table foreign key object returning methods
list/scalar context sensitive.  This is useful when you know that
there is only one foreign key that matches what you are looking for.

0.06

- change return value from Alzabo::Index id method to be something
that can be an actual index name.  This is a bug fix as previously
index SQL was not valid (at least not for MySQL).

- cosmetic fixes in schema creator

- moved exception component to common mason files so its shared by
schema creator and data browser.

- added Index attribute of unique (so we can make unique indexes).

- made SQL making code for MySQL aware of this.

- added ability to set this to schema creator.

- added ability to specify column order in an index in schema creator.

- made it possible for a table to have more than one foreign from a
given column.  documented how this changes API in Alzbo::Table.

- API: The Alzabo::Table foreign_keys() method name has been changed
to all_foreign_keys().  The foreign_key method (which returns keys by
table to and column from) is now the foreign_keys() method because it
can return more than one object.

- change schema creator, Alzabo::Create::Schema module, and
03/create.t test to handle this properly.

- added ability to move columns and tables to arbitrary new locations
after they've been created (without the arrows).

0.05

- bug fix for Alzabo::Runtime::Row calling wrong method from schema
object

- got rid of the locking stuff in the MySQL driver.  Since its not
possible to have more than 1 lock at a time with the GET_LOCK function
there's no way to have the right kinds of locks for cascading deletes.
It might be possible to do this kind of locking via some other
mechanism (semaphores, DBM files, whatever, but that's a hack for
another day.

0.04

- Switched to use Tie::IxHash object interface

- fixed stupid bug in Alzabo::RDBMSRules::MySQL

- changed the way Alzabo::ChangeTracker works.  it requires fewer
method calls to do its job now.

- added set_referential_integrity/referential_integrity methods to
Alzabo::Runtime::Schema.  The default is to not attempt to maintain
referential_integrity.

- It should no longer be possible for Alzabo::Runtime::ForeignKey
objects to create loops when maintaining referential integrity.  It
also should be a bit more efficient in the register_delete method.  If
no action needs to be taken, it won't loop through all the rows in the
related table before finding this out.

- fixed data browser bug when putting in a filter on any page that was
not the first page of results for a table.

- fixed data browser bug in paging with filters.

0.03

- Fixed bugs in Alzabo::ObjectCacheIPC so it now works.

- Added lazy column evaluation (see Alzabo::Runtime::Table) docs

- Added Alzabo::DriverStatement and Alzabo::Driver::Exception to Alzabo::Driver

- improved data browser memory efficiency

- minor bug fixes (bad links) in data browser and schema maker

- minor buglet fix in Alzabo::Driver::MySQL

- big fix to how Alzabo::Runtime::Schema is saved from
Alzabo::Create::Schema.  Previous implementation was accidentally
saving both the runtime and create versions at once.  The new version
fixes this.
