A new version of SPOPS (Simple Perl Object Persistence with Security) has been released. It's available via CPAN ('SPOPS' or 'Bundle::SPOPS') as well as Sourceforge (URLs below). Highlights of this release: - Move the key generation utility functions out of SPOPS::DBI::* - Allow each object to track whether it's been persisted to the database or not - Modify and better document the 'has_a' automatic object relationship handling - Minor bugfixes, primarily to SPOPS::GDBM The only change you might notice is if you're currently using SPOPS with MySQL and 'AUTO_INCREMENT' fields. These folks will need to add a 'increment_field => 1' in each object's configuration to get the previous behavior.
