3 http://maypole.perl.org/?TheRoadmap
6 Fixed some db_colinfo test bugs

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
11 new Class::DBI::DFV based 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
18 made DFV and FromCGI warn instead of die on unexpected cgi params
19 added CGI params to TT error template
20 small improvements to some factory templates
27 Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters
28 in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future
29 releases. Be good, and use proper method calls.
31 Maypole no longer uses Class::DBI::AsForm, instead Maypole::Model::CDBI::AsForm
34 $config->{$table}{required_cols} is deprecated, please use $class->required_columns instead
