0.9.4 2002-09-17 Partially implemented DataCollection and DataObject base classes, which encapsulate all of the common functionality, including data caching, filtering, and database synchronization. 0.9.5 2002-09-08 More work on the data objects. 0.9.6 2002-10-11 Created two new packages -- persistence and datamanager. datamanager does all the talking to the database, and persistence is a class for persistent objects. datamanager works like an object factory, accepting requests for object sets and serving them. Implemented a cache for each datamanager. Finally fixed database synchronization issues. I hope.
