Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

      set on it in tentmaker, everything is done to make the Gantry
      easy date scheme work.
    - Gantry stub controllers finally inherit from their gen modules.  This
      allows overriding gen methods without hastle and easier use of plugins
      provided by the framework (which are themselves mixins).
    - Killing the tentmaker now prompts to ask if you want to save changes.
    - Corrected long standing (but unnoticed) bug which would build in
      the wrong directory when base_dir is used without app_dir.
    - Added controller level config block support to deparser so they
      can pass undisturbed (save whitespace normalization) through tentmaker.
    - Simplified the abstract syntax tree and standardized the naming of
      various elements in it.

    Highlights:
    1. Quicker app generation in two ways.
        Way 1 (if you have sqlite installed):
            bigtop --new App table1 table2
            cd App
            # create database 
            # populate database from docs/schema.yourdb
            ./app.server

        Way 2:
            tentmaker
            on app body tab create table1 and table2
            save as file.bigtop
            bigtop --create file.bigtop
            cd Sample
            sqlite app.db < docs/schema.sqlite
            ./app.server
    2. DBIx::Class support
    3. All around better defaults

    - Changed the full use default, moving it from true for Gantry controllers
      to being true for Gantry HttpdConf.
    - Converted to DBIx::Class (was Class::DBI::Sweet) for tentmaker default.
    - Corrected error that left Gantry AutoCRUD forms for DBIx::Class
      failing to pass the schema object to get_form_selections.
    - Added instance keyword to HttpdConf Gantry backend, which works
      like the same keyword in the CGI Gantry backend.  Both of them allow
      you to get the proper GantryConfInstance definition for use with
      Gantry::Conf.
    - Added conffile keyword to HttpdConf Gantry and CGI Gantry backends.
      Use it with instance to specify a replacement for /etc/gantry.conf.
    - Continued deprecation of methods called _form by adding a warning
      when you use that name for a CRUD or AutoCRUD form in your bigtop file.
    - Added gen_root keyword for CGI Gantry, HttpdConf Gantry, and
      Conf General backends to take advantage of Gantry's new Init module,
      which keeps track of root paths for us.  Only the app root path is
      needed adding gen_root inserts one with relative path html.
    - SiteLook GantryDefault now has a default gantry_wrapper formed
      from Gantry::Init::base_root . '/sample_wrapper.tt'
    - Fixed bug in mysql and sqlite backends.  They no longer generate
      create sequence statements.
    - Added optional tables to bigtop --new.  If you supply them you get
      a running app immediately after generation (but remember to make
      the database before trying to run it).
    - Silenced warnings from MySQL and SQLite SQL backends when the input
      has sequence blocks, which they ignore.
    - Started using the getpwuid approach of h2xs when no author info is
      available.
    - Base modules now have do_mains showing links to all the pages which
      have page_link_labels.  All controllers generated by bigtop --new
      have those labels, so out of the box apps have good do_mains.
    - Greatly improved defaults in tentmaker, among the changes:
        author is omitted so it can be generated in the manner of h2xs
        SiteLook GantryDefault backend no longer has a gantry_wrapper path
        making a table now automatically makes a corresponding controller
        auto-made controllers have:
            statements: controls_table, rel_location, text_description,
                        page_link_label
            methods: do_main, form
        making a sequence now automatically makes a table and a controller
        auto-made tables have sequence statements
      All this means that by starting tentmaker and creating only a table
      on the app_body tab, you can save and get a running app in 3 steps.
    - Removed Class::DBI specific generated code from Control Gantry backend
      (it was a set of skeletons to use with Gantry::Plugins::CRUD).
      Now you get comments telling you what to do, you do it for your ORM.
    - Added site_links methods to base modules.
    - Corrected TentMaker module to be less unix specific.
    - Dropped blib/lib from use lib statements in app.server.
    - Removed CDBI specific code from crud methods, now you just get comments
      suggesting what you need to do.
    - Added advice message to bigtop when you create a default app.
      It tells you how to start the app.

0.13 Fri Jun  9 08:08:16 CDT 2006
    - Made it possible for compatible backends of the same type to all
      generate.  For instance, this allows you to generate all types of SQL
      schema at once.  Note that most backends still can't work together
      since they want to write the same file (like models and controllers).
    - Converted authors app level keyword to allow name => user@example.com.
    - Since the above change left the app level keyword email unused,
      I changed it to contact_us which now makes a CONTACT US POD section 
      in the base module with whatever you want to appear there.
    - Added docs to Bigtop::Keywords explaining how to add your own keywords.
    - Tried to hide the AST package statements from the PAUSE indexer
      without hiding them during vim folding.
    - Added pair_required to Bigtop::Keywords keys so we can support things
      like Gantry main listing header_options.
    - Added config level model_base_class keyword to each Model backend.
      This allows you to control it once for all tables, but still lets
      individual tables override it with their own table level model_base_class.
    - Corrected the javascript error that was preventing screen updates for
      App Body block deletions.  There is a remaining problem: the visible
      whitespace gap sometimes grows with each deletion (this affects only
      the on screen appearance, so it is completely consmetic).
    - Added POD to generated model modules.  It should be enough to silence
      POD tests.

0.12 Tue May 23 10:58:22 CDT 2006
    - Added create_makefile_pl => 'passthrough', to Build.PL so users relying
      on make (aka CPAN shell users) can install without so much hastle.
    - Corrected images links in the tentmaker tutorial (thanks Krassi).
    - Added support for DBIx::Class.
    - Updated MANIFEST and made it agree with what is checked into svn.

0.11 Wed May 17 12:48:11 CDT 2006
    - Added skips so gantry controller tests won't fail when
