  =head1 THE FUTURE
  
! OI2 is currently at 1.99_05, equivalent to 2.0 beta 5. The next
! release should be a release candidate (1.99_06/2.0 RC1) -- its new
  features should only be minor; everything else should be bugfixes or
  pushed off to 2.01.

  =head2 Upgrade Notes
  
+ The following all apply to an existing server configuration -- if
+ you're creating a new site you don't need to worry:
+ 
+ Modify how two 'action_info' keys are set:
+ 
+  OLD:
+  
+  [action_info none]
+  redir = page
+  
+  [action_info not_found]
+  redir = page
+  
+  NEW:
+  
+  [action_info]
+  none      = page
+  not_found = page

  =item *
  
+ OIN-72 - OpenInteract2 packages can now be built into
+ CPAN-distributable applications. 
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
  OIN-115 - Break L<OpenInteract2::Setup> into individual tasks and
  create a framework so that new setup tasks will get discovered at
***************
*** 52,59 ****
--- 76,143 ----
  for more information.
  
+ =item *
+ 
+ OIN-129 - Be able to create a simple application with Create, Update,
+ Delete and Search functionality based on a database table -- see
+ L<OpenInteract2::Manage::Package::CreatePackageFromTable>, or:
+ 
+   oi2_manage task_info --task=easy_app
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ OIN-54 - Make configuration of your database easier; it's now about as
+ simple as a DBI-E<gt>connect() call...
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Add support for FastCGI -- use /cgi-bin/oi2.fcgi and see
+ conf/httpd_cgi_solo.conf for tiny configuration change.

  =head2 Minor Changes
  
+ L<OpenInteract2::Action>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Use L<OpenInteract2::ParamContainer> for C<param()> and related methods.
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::Action::CommonUpdate>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Pass C<$object> and C<\%old_data> to C<_update_post_action()> callback
+ rather than forcing the user to get them from parameters..
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::ActionResolver>
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::ActionResolver::NameAndTask>
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::ActionResolver::NotFoundOrEmpty>
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::ActionResolver::UserDir>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Break down the process of matching a URL (or other identifier) with
+ the action object that generates its content. The parent class
+ instantiates all classes under its namespace into a chain of
+ responsibility. Each link looks at the URL (or other data) and decides
+ if it should create an action from it; if not the next link is
+ invoked.

+ =back

  L<OpenInteract2::Config>
  
***************
*** 73,80 ****
  =item *
  
! Add C<language_handle()> method, useful for when we don't have a
! request available from which to pull the language handle. (See
  L<OpenInteract2::I18N> for what this means.)

! OIN-26: Add C<language_handle()> method, useful for when we don't have
! a request available from which to pull the language handle. (See
  L<OpenInteract2::I18N> for what this means.)
  
+ =item *
+ 
+ OIN-54: Add C<assign_datasource_config()> so you can create/modify
+ datasource configurations after the initial configuration.
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Add 'last_day_of_month' as option for C<create_date()>
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::Manage>
+ 
+ =over 4

*** 88,91 ****
--- 191,205 ----
  =back
  
+ L<OpenInteract2::Manage::Website::Create>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ OIN-127: Allow installation of a website into an existing directory,
+ but first check whether the directory holds any of our expected
+ subdirectories. If it does we assume we're installing over another
+ site and die.
+ 
+ =back

  L<OpenInteract2::Package>

*** 116,119 ****
--- 230,308 ----
  =back
  
+ L<OpenInteract2::ParamContainer>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Simple class to provide storage and manipulation of arbitrary
+ parameters. (Previously four separate classes had implementations of a
+ 'param' method...)
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::Request>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Move URL parsing into action/task to
+ L<OpenInteract2::ActionResolver::NameAndTask>; also remove
+ 'action_name' and 'task_name' properties.
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Use L<OpenInteract2::ParamContainer> for C<param()> and related methods.
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Add C<param_boolean()> to return a 'TRUE' if a parameter value is
+ defined, 'FALSE' if not. (Similar to C<param_toggled()>, but it seems
+ like 'TRUE' and 'FALSE' are boolean literals in many databases.)
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Remove C<_find_custom_languages()> and the ability to specify a class
+ to do so. Overdesign, and you can do it other ways.
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Renamed internal and previously undocumented method from
+ C<find_language()> to C<assign_languages()> and allow optional
+ override values to be passed in. This lets the language be assigned
+ later in the process.
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::Setup>
+ 
+ (Also see the notes under B<Major Changes> for 1.99_06 above.)
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Use L<OpenInteract2::ParamContainer> for C<param()> and related methods.
+ 
+ =back
+ 
+ L<OpenInteract2::TT2::Plugin>
+ 
+ =over 4
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Added C<as_boolean()> for evaluating a boolean value in any of its
+ case-insensitive forms - 't', 'true', 'y', 'yes', '1'.
+ 
+ =item *
+ 
+ Added C<as_boolean_label()> for evaluating a boolean value in any of
+ its case-insensitive forms - 't', 'true', 'y', 'yes', '1' -- and
+ returning a localized human label as a result.
+ 
+ =back
+ 
  L<OpenInteract2::Util>
  
***************
*** 129,132 ****
--- 318,326 ----
  Added C<is_same_file( $path_a, $path_b )>.
  
+ =item *
+ 
+ Move C<find_factry_subclasses()> here from L<OpenInteract2::Manage>
+ and modify it to assume @INC in unless other directories given.
