Dear Users;

I've just made a branch on CVS, it's called version-2 and contains a lot 
of new features, mainly the one which have been proposed and discussed 
onthis list.

There is no downloadable packages yet (only CVS), because I did not have 
time to test it (except the SMySQL_Test tool, which does not test most 
of the new features).

The new features are mainly (describe in TO_DO of the version-2 project):
++++++++++
1. The prefix has been changed to the shorter MCP (for MySQL Cocoa 
Project).

2. Handling NULL fields:
- - Create a "MCPNSNull" category for NSObject with only one method : 
isNSNull (Being able to check if any object returned by SMySQL is a 
NSNull)

3. MCPResult:
Centralising the field type recognition and filling of proper objects:
- - A single method doing the work : fetchRowAsType:(MCPReturnType) aType;
- - Wrapper for getting rows as Dictionnary or Array.
- - Again with fetchTypesAsType: (MCPReturnType) aType; + wrappers

4.Making a category for additional (optional) methods (MCPResultPlus):
- - Getting a single column:
     - (NSArray *) fetchColAtIndex:(unsigned int) aCol;
     - (NSArray *) fetchColWithName:(NSString *) aColName; (Wrapping the 
previous one)
- - Adding bidimensional array data retrieval (in a Category?)

5.MCPConnection
Making a category to add some useful (but not mandatory) features 
(MCPFastQueries):
- - (id) getFirstFieldFromQuery:(NSString *) query; (Frist column of first 
row of the result)
- - (id) getFirstRowFromQuery:(NSString *) query asType:(MCPReturnType) 
aType; (obvious)
- - (NSArray *) getAllRowsFromQuery:(NSString *) query 
asType:(MCPReturnType) aType; (using 2D possibility of MCPResult)
- - (NSArray *) getQuery:(NSString *) query colWithIndex:(unsigned int) 
aCol; (Getting a single column form the query)
- - (NSArray *) getQuery:(NSString *) query colWithName:(NSString *) 
aColName;
++++++++++


It would be great if some of you can test it (even better modify 
SMySQL_Test coming with it to do these tests) and give me feed back 
about the way the framework works.

Once this is done, I'll do a release, most likely 2.0.0

In the mean time I'm jst going to correct the version 0.7.0 to take of 
the NULL Field bug. I will then pomote it to version 1.0.0

Looking forward to read many comments.

Serge.
