Changes for version 0.73 - 2003-01-02

  • Overall:
    • Bugfix in SPOPS::DBI->field_update
    • New tool to maintain bidirectional object links
    • Lots of small POD fixes throughout many files
    • Removed some previously deprecated classes
  • Individual:
    • SPOPS/Configure.pm, SPOPS/Configure/(DBI|Ruleset).pm:
      • Removed classes that have been marked as deprecated since 0.50.
    • SPOPS/DBI.pm:
      • Fix field_update() to return the number of rows updated -- if you call it from an object it will always return 1 if the update succeeded. Thanks to Ray Zimmerman for catch.
      • In save(), move the (saved) and (changed) flags *before* the post_save_action(); if you don't, any updates you do to the object in the post_save_action will be regarded as another INSERT which will either fail (duplicate primary keys) or throw you into an infinite loop (post_save_action keeps inserting new objects).
      • In save(), ensure that the field/value parameters are cleared out before we tell SQLInterface what we want to insert/update.
    • SPOPS/Tool/DBI/MaintainLinkedList.pm:
      • Add new tool to maintain previous/next links in a particular object so you can always navigate. Links are created on an object insert and reshuffled on an object remove. The tool also creates methods 'next_in_list' and 'previous_in_list' so you don't have to craft them by hand.
    • t/30_dbi.t:
      • Add more tests for field_update()
    • t/36_dbi_linked_list.t:
      • Create tests for SPOPS::Tool::DBI::MaintainLinkedList
