* Changed the case of the 'user' table and column in the MySQL
  database generation script to support MySQL databases running on

version 5.2.1 - 7/29/2004
-------------------------
* Selecting "multi line" for the text input type of String attributes

  data integrity by preventing cached objects from using old copies of
  related objects.

  during updates and deletes.  This fixes intermittent database lock-up
  issues.
