HTML-FormFu 0.02003 is now available on cpan.

I was too busy to make an official announcement to the list, but
0.02000 was uploaded to cpan last week - primarily to provide a public
release of the new Model-DBIC code, for Bogdan's Catalyst advent
article - which, if you haven't seen it is published here:
http://catalyst.perl.org/calendar/2007/20

If you upgrade to a 0.0200X release, you should also upgrade your
Catalyst-Controller-HTML-FormFu to version 0.02000

The major improvements in the 0.0200 release were:

* new HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC to obsolete DBIx-Class-HTML-FormFu
see the docs for details:
http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/HTML-FormFu-0.02003/lib/HTML/FormFu/Model/DBIC.pm

* new Repeatable block element, used by Model-DBIC for has-many and
many-to-many rels.

* TT is no longer used by default to render the forms - FormFu now
uses an internal renderer that doesn't need template files, but
provides the exact same output. If you want to customize the markup,
you'll need to set render_method('tt') to use the TT backend.

There have been a couple of incompatible changes. See my earlier email
to the list back in 23rd Nov titled "some incompatible changes" for
details:

Thanks to everyone who's contributed!
