* Release 0.29.
* Updates in this release consist mainly of shunting some detail work out
of the 'Rosetta' distribution and towards the upcoming new
'Rosetta-Extensions' distribution. The rationale is that
Rosetta-Extensions can then be released more frequently without requiring
corresponding Rosetta releases to maintain compatibility. This is not to
say that some detail work won't be moved into the Rosetta core later, but
in the short term it seems best to keep it out.
* The new()/prepare() methods will no longer check that the Command Type of
a given "command" SSM Node is appropriate for the Interface type; it is
better, at least for now, that the Engine does this check. However, if the
invocant of prepare() is an 'application', then a more limited check is
still done, since the Rosetta core itself needs to implement them. Several
small documentation fixes were also made in Rosetta.pm.
* Corresponding updates in Rosetta.pm (now v0.13) and en.pm (now v.0.04)
related mainly to the prepare() method; several hard-coded "die" were
replaced with proper localized exceptions; several other exceptions were
renamed or moved.
* Updated Framework.pod to mention some additions to Rosetta-Extensions;
for example, that distro will contain the localized generic database error
messages for Engines instead of Rosetta::L::en. It will also contain the
initial set of Rosetta::Validator modules.
* All details in the TODO file of 'Rosetta' have been moved to the TODO in
'Rosetta-Extensions', which is where they are relevant. The TODO in
'Rosetta' now simply says to look over there; the 'Rosetta' core is
initially complete and most near-term work will now be in the other dist.

* Release 0.28.
* There are 4 distributions being released simultaneously that all have the
same release number of 0.28; this is one of them. They are:
SQL-SyntaxModel-0.28, SQL-SyntaxModel-ByTree-0.28,
SQL-SyntaxModel-SkipID-0.28, Rosetta-0.28. Each of the latter 3 is
dependant on the first 1. These 4 distributions cumulatively have almost
identical contents to the Rosetta-0.27 distribution, which is their sole
progenitor; that older distribution has hereby been split into 4 pieces
which will now be developed independently from each other. All 4 new
distributions inherit the external dependency on Locale-KeyedText-0.03.
* While those of Rosetta-0.27 were taken as a starting point, these CPAN
standard files have been changed to either a large or a small extent as
appropriate so that they represent the new 0.28 distribution: ChangeLog,
INSTALL, Makefile.PL, MANIFEST, ReadMe, TODO. (META.yml is generated.)
* This ChangeLog file has been truncated to exclude the details from
releases 0.01 thru 0.27, as they aren't very useful going forward and take
up a lot of space (about 90 kilobytes). If you want to read those details
then please look at an archived Rosetta-0.27 distribution, which is the
last one to have them.
* The distribution you are looking at now is not the first one to bear the
name Rosetta. For historical posterity, this is its file manifest:
- ChangeLog
- INSTALL
- lib/Rosetta.pm
- lib/Rosetta/Framework.pod
- lib/Rosetta/L/en.pm
- LICENSE
- Makefile.PL
- MANIFEST
- META.yml Module meta-data (added by MakeMaker)
- ReadMe
- t/Rosetta.t
- TODO
* All modules with version numbers have seen theirs incremented by 0.01
compared to Rosetta-0.27, and all modules or scripts that use them now
require the new numbers; said modules did not have any other significant
changes. In this distribution, Rosetta is now v0.12 and Rosetta::L::en is
now v0.03.
* A few other minor updates were made to several files.

* Rosetta-0.27, the last version of the distribution prior to its 4-way
split, was released on CPAN.
2003-01-27 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Rosetta-0.02, the first version of the distribution under that name,
was released on CPAN.

* DBIx-Portable-0.01, the only version of the Rosetta distribution under
its previous name, was released on CPAN.
2002-11-12 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Began development on the modules which became the pre-split Rosetta
distribution as their own entity that is separate from my application, for
open-source distribution on CPAN. The modules were to comprise an
RDBMS-generic DB framework for any application to use.
* Modules based on a template created by h2xs 1.18.
2002-07-28
* Posted the first significant update to the second prototype, which added
an index or cache for data that was expensive to calculate for each page
request, and involved rewriting about a fourth of the perl code.
2002-06-07
* Posted to my website the second public prototype demo of the new
self-proprietary database driven application, whose database schema, user
interface, feature set, and Perl application code was almost completely
rewritten. The new version explicitly had separate modules for database
communication and the web interface logic, with MySQL-specific code and
database generic or data dictionary code in separate files, and separate
files for parts of the web interface. The program used the same generic
CPAN modules as in the first prototype, DBI/MySQL and CGI::Portable.
2001-11-24
* Posted the last update to the first prototype.
2001-07-12
* Posted to my website the first public prototype demo of a new
self-proprietary database driven application, which is like a cross between
a multimedia metadata catalogue and a repository for historical or
genealogical data. This application contained the first prototypes of code
that ended up in these modules. All of this application's code, for
database communication and web interface logic, was situated in a single
module, with the rest of the program being more generic CPAN modules like
DBI (and DBD for MySQL) and CGI::Portable.

* Requested MySQL database privileges on my web host so I have something to
start developing, testing and deploying database driven applications on.
