> environment (A, DIV,..SQLFORM, DAL, Field,...) including
> current.request, current.response, current.session, current.T,
> current.cache, thanks Jonathan.
> - conditional models in
> models/<controller>/a.py and models/<controller>/<function>/a.py
> - from mymodule import *, looks for mymodule in applications/thisapp/
> modules first and then in sys.path. No more need for local_import.
> Thanks Pierre.
> - usage of generic.* views is - by default - restricted to localhost
> for security. This can be changed in a granular way with:
> response.generic_patterns=['*']. This is a slight change of behavior
> for new app but a major security fix.
>
