Changes for version 1.57 - 2010-09-04

  • INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: NextPage and PrevPage were adding rows from the previous page. Jesse claims that when he wrote this code, he was 20 years old and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
  • When logging queries, include full stack trace
  • support $sb->NewAlias( 'table' => 'LEFT' );
  • allow join to depend on nothing
  • catch cases when there are more closing parens then should be
  • Oracle: Use ROW_NUMBER() to propagate row ordering from inside the DISTINCT
  • Various performance improvements through small internal refactorings
  • Implemented 'sub Fields' on Oracle
  • unify case insensitive characters to avoid using LOWER() in some cases
  • We now RedoSearch when RowsPerPage is changed
  • No longer RedoSearch if FirstRow is called, but is not actually changed
  • Document all paging functions and test them
  • handle LOWER() in redundant LEFT joins optimizer, for Oracle and may be Pg
  • Make debugging problems easier by passing errors back https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=55203
  • fix Record->PrimaryKeys, field names in values hash are lc'ed https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18280
