.. _start:
+ SQLObject 0.5
+ =============
+
+ Features
+ --------
+
+ * Firebird_ support.
+
+ * Database-specific literal quoting (motivation: MySQL and Postgres
+ use backslashes, Firebird and SQLite do not).
+
+ * Generic conversion/validation can be added to columns.
+
+ * BoolCol for portable boolean columns (BOOL on Postgres, INT on
+ MySQL, etc.)
+
+ * Non-integer IDs. (Automatic table creation is not supported for
+ non-integer IDs)
+ * Explicit IDs for new instances/rows (required for non-integer IDs).
+ * Instances can be synced with the database (in case there have been
+ updates to the object since it was first fetched).
+ * Instances can be expired, so that they will be synced when they are
+ next accessed.
+
+ .. _Firebird: http://firebird.sourceforge.net/
+
+ Bugs
+ ----
+
+ * Released all locks with ``finally:``, so that bugs won't cause
+ frozen locks.
+ * Tons of transaction fixes. Transactions pretty much work.
+ * A class can have multiple foreign keys pointing to the same table
+ (e.g., ``spouse = ForeignKey("Person"); supervisor =
+ ForeignKey("Person")``)
+
+ Changed Usage Notes
+ -------------------
+
+ * `SQLBuilder.sqlRepr` renamed to `SQLBuilder.sqlrepr`, signature
+ changed to ``sqlrepr(value, databaseName)`` to quote ``value``,
+ where ``databaseName`` is one of ``"mysql"``, ``"postgres"``,
+ ``"sqlite"``, ``"firebird"``.
+
+ * ``sqlRepr`` magic method renamed to ``__sqlrepr__``, and takes new
+ ``databaseName`` argument.
+
+ * When using explicit booleans, use ``Col.TRUE`` and ``Col.FALSE`` for
+ backward compatibility with Python 2.2. This is not required for
+ ``BoolCol``, however (which converts all true values to TRUE and
+ false values to FALSE)
+
+ * SQLObject has a ``sqlrepr`` method, so you can construct queries
+ with something like ``"WHERE last_name = %s" %
+ Person.sqlrepr('Bob')``
+
