The changes to the importing happened post-0.9.8. If you clone master instead of
working you'll have 0.9.8, not the work in progress for the next release, which 
will
be either 0.9.9 or 1.0.0.

The rationale is simply that we were loading way too many things upon someone 
issuing
'import dabo'. There's a class of users that use very specific things from the
framework inside their web applications, such as only using the biz and data 
layer,
but no dApp and no UI, or only using the report writer and nothing else. Rather 
than
importing everything everyone would possibly need in 'import dabo', we should 
make
things available via explicit import via subpackages.

There have been other commits besides that one to working since 0.9.8 was 
released.
The other ones that I expect to cause breakage are listed in wiki pages at:

https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/wiki/_pages

They all have "Dabo 1.0" at the beginning of the page title.

Please let me know if those wiki pages need to be expanded, but all in all I 
think
the steps required are minimal, armed with tools like grep. I made a ton of 
required
changes to all my apps to satisfy these and I don't recall it taking very long 
at all.

Anyway, welcome to Monday! :)
