Changes for version 1.0

  • new feature: save_as
  • new feature: display_as
  • made it compatible to formengine 1.0
  • removed Config.pm, created SkinClassic.pm the default skin class for HTML::FormEngine::DBSQL
  • removed dbsql_set_secret therefore added set_dbsql_secret to HTML::FormEngine::DBSQL::SkinClassic
  • dbsql_preconf knows a new special key format: __add_VARNAME_(first|last)
  • changed the meaning of dbsql_set_show_default (read POD)
