From: "PEAR Announce" on
The new PEAR package DB_DataObject-1.9.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
Modular Release version.

This version was designed to support multiple locations of DataObjects for use with
modular applications. - NOTE the change to ini_DATABASENAME may fixes the previous behaviour to
match the documented behaviour - however this may break existing installations.

New Features:
#------- class_location accepts multiple locations with PATH_SEPARATOR
#------- class_prefix accepts multiple prefixes with PATH_SEPARATOR
#------- ini_DATABASENAME merges all found ini files in paths (seperated by PATH_SEPARATOR)
previous behaviour was just to read the first. - this applies to matching links.ini files.
#12550 - disable_null_strings=full -- see the bug report for details - it is highly recommended not to use this feature,
as it may result in data being deleted from your database if not used carefully.

Notes:
#------- staticGet now marked depreciated.
#------- links_DATABASENAME does not support multiple paths
#------- staticAutoloadTable (depreciated) and staticGet (depreciated) do not support this feature

Package Info
------------
DataObject performs 2 tasks:
1. Builds SQL statements based on the objects vars and the builder methods.
2. acts as a datastore for a table row.
The core class is designed to be extended for each of your tables so that you put the
data logic inside the data classes.
included is a Generator to make your configuration files and your base classes.
