Propel 1.3.0beta3 Released

Another long-awaited beta release for the Propel 1.3 branch has made available on the download page and PEAR channel. This version of Propel introduces some powerful new features and also makes some breaking changes (from 1.2, that is). Please read the Upgrading Guide to familiarize yourself with the new requirements & features and how these might affect your applications.

Some highlights of this beta release include:

• Better lazy-load support in doSelectJoin*() methods
• Better handling of temporal (date/time) values
• Special handling of invalid 0000-00-00 MySQL dates
• Lots of nested-set improvements (though this is still a work-in-progress)
• Postgres uses SERIAL for auto-increment columns. This means sequences need to be renamed manually. See instructions in upgrade guide: wiki:Users/Documentation/1.3/Upgrading#PostgreSQLusesSERIAL

See the ChangeLog for the full list of fixes & changes in this version. Please note that this is not a feature-complete release; however, we do not plan to change the API before final release. We do plan to continue addressing issues in the tracker that are slated for 1.3 milestone before final release.

Please let us know if you find any problems!
