relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational

in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- removed doctest stuff
- redid session docs for sqlsoup
- sqlsoup stays within the transaction of a Session now, is explcitly autocommit=False by default and includes commit()/rollback() methods
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
is a standardized interface which allows the creation of custom
ClauseElement subclasses and compilers. In particular it's
handy as an alternative to text() when you'd like to
build a construct that has database-specific compilations.
See the extension docs for details.
- Documentation has been converted to Sphinx.
In particular, the generated API documentation
has been constructed into a full blown
"API Reference" section which organizes
editorial documentation combined with
generated docstrings. Cross linking between
sections and API docs are vastly improved,
a javascript-powered search feature is
provided, and a full index of all
classes, functions and members is provided.
