Migration from previous versions

While we have been striving for 100% compatibility with application code, sometimes you need to make decisions that break it. This release introduces one such inconvenience.

For instance, if you used this code in previous versions:

Base.open();

// do work here

Base.close();

Such code relied before on availability of a file /database.properties on your classpath. With this release your app will break with a message:

Could not find configuration in a property file for environment: development. Are you sure you called org.javalite.activejdbc.connection_config.DBConfiguration.loadConfiguration("/database.properties") or similar? You can also call org.javalite.activejdbc.connection_config.DBConfiguration.addConnectionConfig(...) directly

This message is telling you that this file is not found and you need to explicitly call DBConfiguration.loadConfiguration("/database.properties"). So, adding this line to the example above will clear this exception and load the properties file:

DBConfiguration.loadConfiguration("/database.properties"); //<<<---------Add this line before you open a connection for the first time. 
Base.open();

// do work here

Base.close();

In addition, you can give this file a different name.
