3 http://maypole.perl.org/?TheRoadmap
6 Fixed some db_colinfo test bugs
7 Fixed typo in edit form template
8 Now uses Class::C3 in all Classes to simplify inheritence
9 Inheritence simpler and nicer and less hacked
10 add_model_superclass method moves @ISA munging into the model

12 new test to check everything compiles
13 Model inheritance re-organised
14 New config method : additional, for stashing additional info, especially from additional_data method
15 new warn method in maypole/request class/object, over-ridden by Apache::MVC, etc or own driver
16 AsForm fixes to stringification _to_select
17 new build_form_elements attribute for Maypole request, set it to 0 to avoid building cgi form if you don't need it
24 Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters
25 in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future
26 releases. Be good, and use proper method calls.

31 $config->{$table}{required_cols} is deprecated, please use $class->required_columns instead
