v2.1.0

Release 2.1.0

Changes

• The Category model now uses a Meta class to specify the database configuration, instead of passing it to the __init__ method. This change simplifies the model definition and makes it more readable.
• The db_name attribute in the Meta class is set to DATABASE_CONFIG['sqlite'], which specifies the SQLite database configuration for the model.

Upgrade Instructions

To upgrade to version 2.0.1, follow these steps:

1. Update your ORM package to the latest version.
2. In your code, replace the old Category model definition with the new one provided in the release notes.
3. Run your application as usual, and the updated Category model will be used for database operations.

Compatibility

This release is compatible with version 2.0.0 of the ORM package. No further changes are required to use the updated Category model.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This release focuses on improving the code structure and readability of the Category model. No bug fixes or major new features are included in this update.

If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please contact our support team or submit a bug report on our issue tracker.

v2.0.0

Release Notes: Version 2.0.0

New Features:

• Support more fields
• sorting on all() method
• Postgresql database support

v1.0.0

Release Notes for abarorm v1.0.0

We are excited to announce the release of abarorm version 1.0.0! This release marks a significant milestone in the development of our lightweight Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for SQLite and MySQL databases in Python.
