I'm pleased to announce the 0.10 release of Storm, the Python object-relational mapper.
Web site: http://storm.canonical.com/ Downloads: https://launchpad.net/storm/+download Cheeseshop: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/storm/0.10 Thanks go to Gustavo Niemeyer, Johan Dahlin, Elliot Murphy, Bjørn Stabell, Duncan McGreggor, Thomas Herve, Michel Pelletier, Jamu Kakar, and everyone else who has had a part in this release (in case I missed anybody). This release has various feature enhancements and bug fixes. Detailed changes follow. Improvements ------------ - Improvements were made to the tutorial. - There is now a setup.py script for installing Storm. - Count and ClassAlias is now available through the storm.locals module. - A new hook, __storm_pre_flush__, can be implemented on objects in a Store. It is called before an object is flushed to the database. - Storm can now use the built-in sqlite support in Python 2.5 and above. - There is now a storm.properties.Decimal, which allows you to store Decimal (as opposed to binary) floating point values. - storm.zope was added, which offers a simple integration mechanism with the Zope transaction machinery. - Complex expressions other than simple Columns can now be passed to the aggregation methods of ResultSet (avg,max,min,sum). - Backend implementors can now override preset_primary_key on their Database object to come up with primary key values before an Insert. - A large amount of API documentation was added. Bug fixes --------- - SQL reserved words are now properly escaped in SQL statements. - GROUP BY and ORDER BY statements are now ordered correctly. - Running the tests with trial now works. - All backends are now initialized such that their transactions are truly SERIALIZABLE. Psycopg2 and Pysqlite2 both did not previously have serializable transactions by default, but this has been fixed. - A bug in ResultSet.cached which could occasionally cause inconsistencies in ResultSet.set was fixed. API Changes ----------- Most changes are backwards compatible. There were some incompatible changes which may affect alternative database backends. - Chars was renamed to RawStr. Chars still exists, but is deprecated. All raw 8-bit data in your database should be represented with RawStr. - compiler handlers have had their arguments reordered. - The Compile.__call__ method now returns only the Statement. - Compile.fork was renamed to Compile.create_child. - Many methods which previously had underscores were renamed to get rid of the underscores to reflect their status as things which can be safely touched in subclasses. Documentation was added clarifying their intended use. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
