Important note: if you are using MySQL 5.0.3 or later and you

meta->allow_inline_column_values(1) when setting up the
Rose::DB::Object-derived class that fronts the table.

* Added a few more sanity checks to class setup which, in turn,
helped me to find and fix a few bugs in the test suite.
0.074 (09.15.2005) - John Siracusa <siracusa@gmail.com>
* Repurposed the "with_objects" Manager parameter to do explicit
LEFT OUTER JOINs instead of implicit inner joins.
* Added "require_objects" Manager parameter to fill the old role of
the "with_objects" parameter.
* Documented new restrictions associated with the more sensible
"with_objects" and "require_objects" parameters.
* Added *_sql comparison operators to QueryBuilder, allowing inline
SQL. (Requested by Uwe Voelker.)
* Removed restriction on aliasing primary key columns.
* Fixed bug in Manager that caused fetched objects to be inserted
instead of updated on save(). (Reported by Uwe Voelker.)
* Corrected a misspelled method name in Rose::DB::Object::Cached.
(Reported by David Glass)
* Updated benchmark suite to include "one to many" search tests.
0.073 (09.09.2005) - John Siracusa <siracusa@gmail.com>
* Added deferred method creation for relationships and foreign
keys in order to make "many to many" relationship setup more
developer-friendly.
* Renamed default auto-method type for foreign keys and relationships
from "get" to "get_set", since technically these foreign objects
can be set. They just don't go into the database at that point.
I'll probably use a different term for that process (e.g., "add")
* Some POD and test fixes.
