Subject: [Z3-sqlos] Hello, Current state
Message-ID: <20040624185531.GB1734@cotia.awkly.org>

Hello,

Just a small introduction and a status report about the project.

sqlos has been developed in conjunction with another project called
'sip - sample inventory program' as a tiny wrapper around sqlobject,
mainly to provide a somewhat transparent transaction integration. It
actually started as just a prototype, that suddenly had to grow more
and more features to support the project requirements.

The development started around july 2003 at which time zope3 was still
using zodb4, and most of the api was not stable enough yet. At some
time in early 2004, we've cut a branch to work on zope3 because it was
impossible to keep up with the constant changes (it took us almost two
entire days each time a *geddon landed).

Now that zope3 reached a beta state, we are updating the application
to make use of the new features and consequently updating sqlos.

The first batch of changes landed yesterday, which included two
directives (one for setting the connection name for sqlos to use, and
another to register both a factory and a utility on the same pass) and
a descriptor to make the use of the per-thread connection cache more
safer by not keeping a shared class reference to the connection.

There will be more changes following, as I got fixing my app, and I
may end up moving a couple more features from the app into sqlos as I
feel they are generic enough.

That said, I hope you enjoy the project and make good use of it,
contributing where possible.

Thanks for listening!
