[SQLObject] SQLObject 1.6.0a1

[Oleg B. <ph...@ph...>]

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce version 1.6.0a1, the first alpha of the upcoming
release of branch 1.6 of SQLObject.


What's new in SQLObject
=======================

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

* Python 2.4 is no longer supported. The minimal supported version is
  Python 2.5.

* DateTimeCol and TimeCol preserve microseconds. The feature requires
  Python 2.6+ because in Python 2.5 datetime.strptime doesn't support
  '%f' format.

  WARNING: backward compatibility problem! Date/Time columns created
  with microseconds cannot be read back with older versions of
  SQLObject.

* Upgrade ez_setup to 1.4.2.

Contributor for this release is Geoffrey Wossum.

For a more complete list, please see the news:

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).

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

   This seems to be a fragile issue and I'd like to ask people to test
it thoroughly. But please be warned

   and don't test it on your production databases.
