[web2py] 1.96.1 breaks backward compatibility, and hides it. [invalid view (default.html)]

2011-08-03 Thread Kevin Butler
Let me preface this by saying that I really enjoy web2py, and that it's a testament to the great efforts that Massimo puts into maintaining backwards compatibility that made this change such a painful surprise... 1.96.1 includes a security fix that breaks existing applications by disabling

[web2py] Re: Strange form behaviour.

2011-08-02 Thread Kevin Butler
I wish there were a simpler solution than having to add these lines of code to every function returning a form. (I don't want to touch web2py's code outside an app). Nice to see the rapid response - the latest version of SQLFORM allows you to specify sep='' instead of munging the returned
