Compilation of developer notes on changes in 1.6.
Schema
Added ACL tables (todo - list them) Removed jos_groups table
Framework
JDatabase::setQuery casts the sql variable to a string. This allows you to pass an object that implements the __toString magic method.
JModel::getState will now take an optional second argument to set the default. $value = $model->getState( 'foo', 'bar' );
Both JFile::write and JFTP::write now use a reference for its second argument. Code like JFile::write($filename,'string'); will fail, however $data = 'string'; JFile::write($filename, $data); will work for both 1.5 and 1.6
Remove JAuthorization::_mos_add_acl.
Added JAuthorization::getUserAccessLevels( $section [, $action = 'view'] ).
Added JTableTree as an abstract class for tree-based tables.
JModel has an addition contruction option and internal variable __state_set. This is used to lazy-load model initialisation.
Made JObject abstract. It can no longer be directly instantiated. Use JStdClass instead.
