SQLObject 1.0.0

[Oleg Broytman]

Hello!

I'm really happy to announce SQLObject version 1.0.0!


What is SQLObject
=================

SQLObject is an object-relational mapper. Your database tables are described
as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be
easy to use and quick to get started with.

SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite,
Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).

What's New
==========

Features & Interface
--------------------

* Major API change: DB URI parser was changed to use urllib.split*() and
unquote(). This means any username/password/path are allowed in DB
URIs if they are properly %-encoded, and DB URIs are automatically
unquoted.

* A new module ``__version__.py`` was added. New variables ``version``
(string) and ``version_info`` (5-tuple: major, minor, micro, release
level, serial) are imported into ``sqlobject`` namespace.

* In SQLite, id columns are made AUTOINCREMENT.

* Parameter ``backend`` in DB URI is no longer supported, use parameter
``driver``.
