Hi folks,

I just uploaded a new release to the website with a lot of changes and
enhancements:

3-4) New field type TIME
------------------------
We no support the sql type time!


3-5) Changed writing of text fields
------------------------------------
Writing text to the html page has changed dramatically. All text based
fields no knows an pattern attribute wich is used construct a format. 
To do this the pattern is passed to tho format.applyPattern method. 
The format is constructed with the locale setted in the current request. 
So numeric and date values are written with the right locale.
Another change is that no null fields read from the database and default
values are different.
You can set the null field value with the null field attribute and the
default value with the default attribute.

ATTENTION: The format attribute should be deprecated - using the pattern is
much easier and could be parsed back!

Pattern and format are only used in case of numeric or date fields. So you
have less errors if you use the wrong format.

3-6) Changed parsing of text fields
-------------------------------------
Parsing text is no done according the setted locale and format pattern. To
do so the used format to write out the field is written as hidden field
into the page.
During parsing it's read back and used to construct a format for parsing.
So numeric and date values could be parsed with the right locale.


3-7) Remove dependency from config date-format
---------------------------------------------
During the changes the writing and parsing the  date-format attribute
becomes obsolete and is not longer used.


For more details the the release notes and the ChangeLog.

Because of the plenty of changes please report all problems. 
All junit tests are running again and a worked with the release the last
week.

Regards,
Henner
