Hello! I'm pleased to announce version 2.0.0, the first stable release of branch 2.0 of SQLObject. What's new in SQLObject ======================= Features & Interface -------------------- * DateTimeCol and TimeCol can read and write values with microseconds. WARNING: microseconds are supported by MariaDB since version 5.3.0 and by MySQL since version 5.6.4, and even these versions require special handling: columns to store microseconds have to be declared with precision 6: TIME(6), DATETIME(6), TIMESTAMP(6). SQLObject does the right thing when creating a new database but existing databases have to be changed: run something like ``ALTER TABLE name MODIFY COLUMN col TIME(6)`` for every column that you want to store microseconds. WARNING: backward compatibility problem! Date/Time columns created with microseconds cannot be read back from SQLite databases (and perhaps other backends) with versions of SQLObject older than 1.7. Minor features -------------- * PostgresConnection, when used with fromDatabase=True, sets alternateID for unique columns. * Extend sdist: include everything (even generated html) into source distribution. * Extend setup.py: include docs and tests into the egg. Development ----------- * Development was switched from Subversion to git. Documentation ------------- * Old news were restored back to version 0.2.1. * News.txt was split into 5 small files. Contributors for this release are Andrew Trusty and Jared Jennings. For a more complete list, please see the news: http://sqlobject.org/News.html 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). Python 2.6 or 2.7 is required.
