SUPPORT

The Alzabo docs are conveniently located online at
http://www.alzabo.org/docs/.

There is also a mailing list.  You can sign up at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alzabo-general.

Please don't email me directly.  Use the list instead so others can
see your questions.

REPORTING BUGS

If you are getting some sort of error message, please set the
environment variable ALZABO_DEBUG to TRACE and then send the now very
verbose error message to the mailing list.

If you are experiencing test failures, please run the tests like this:

        ./Build test verbose=1

and send the output along with the bug report.  Otherwise I'll just
ask you to do this before I can do anything.

UPGRADING

As of version 0.65, Alzabo automatically upgrades older schemas as it
loads them.  This works for schemas made by versions going back to
version 0.55.

BUGS

- Forking apps and Postgres

In testing, I found that there were some problems using Postgres in a
situation where you start the app, connect to the database, get some
data, fork, reconnect, and and then get more data.  I suspect that
this has more to do with the DBD::Pg driver and/or Postgres itself
than Alzabo.  I don't believe this would be a problem with an app
which forks before ever connecting to the database (such as mod_perl).
I have structured the test suite to avoid this problem in testing but
forewarned is forearmed (or something like that).

- make_html_docs.pl and Pod::Html

There are links in some of the POD that Pod::Html fails to resolve.
This causes warnings when running make_html_docs.pl.  However, the
generated HTML files are processed to correct these problems so you
can just ignore them.

CREDITS

Ilya Martynov deserves special thanks for providing a _lot_ of patches
as well as many useful suggestions on new features, bug fixing, etc.

Ken Williams contributed a number of patches, many of which focused on
improving Postgres support.

Bob Gustafson has provided extensive assistance in testing and
debugging.

Thanks very much to Randal Schwartz for spending time with me on IRC
helping me find problems with the install process way back in the
early releases.

Some features in Alzabo have been borrowed or influenced by Class:DBI
(Michael Schwern and Tony Bowden) and Tangram (Jean-Louis Leroy).
