Official release of TDBM 4

Today, we are very proud to announce the release of TDBM 4, the ORM that comes with the Mouf framework.

Major changes

TDBM 4 is a complete rewrite from TDBM 3, with a lot of energy put in better organizing the code and better unit testing
The global philosophy of TDBM stays the same: your database model is meaningful and TDBM will do it's best to generate PHP objects from your database model. It is therefore taking a completely different direction than what Doctrine ORM does.
TDBM does what it can to avoid the classical traps of the Active record design pattern. TDBM is well suited for simple to moderatly complex applications.
- Beans can now be instantiated directly (no need to use the TDBMService for this)
TDBM 4 is relying on Doctrine DBAL for database access
TDBM 4 is built on top of MagicQuery. It can automatically discard unused parameters in a SQL query. This is very useful to seamlessly write filters.
TDBM 4 will automatically generate query methods based on the indexes in your database
As always with TDBM, a lot of energy has been put in simplifying the query process. TDBM will automatically detect joins between tables
TDBM 4 can automatically detect pivot tables and will generate many-to-many getters and setters accordingly.
Generated beans now support the inheritance between tables (using primary keys as a foreign key technique)
Results are no more simple arrays. They implement the beberlei/porpaginas library: you can now get offset/limit and the total count from the result object.
Beans do not have a save method any more. You need to use the DAO save method instead.

Improved support for singularizing names (countries => CountryBean instead of countries => CountrieBean, thanks to ICanBoogie/Inflector)
Primary keys can now be updated
In cursor more, queries can now be looped over several time (this will trigger the query several times in database)
Base DAOs are now named TableNameBaseDao instead of TableNameDaoBase (more coherent with bean naming)
Generated names for methods in beans has changed:
- There is no longer getter and setters for "ID" columns that are foreign keys to other columns.
- Foreign key getters and setters are now base on the column name rather than the table name. If you have a table "user" with a column "birth_country_id" pointing to a table "country", previously, TDBM was generating "getCountry/setCountry" methods along a "getCountryByBirthCountryId/setCountryByBirthCountryId" method. Now, it will only generate a "getBirthCountry/setBirthCountry" pair of methods.
New findObjectOrFail method that performs a findObject and throws an exception if no result is found.

In the next version (TDBM 4.1), we plan to:

Make TDBM easily usable out of Mouf
- This means adding a CLI tool to generate bean and DAOs
- Adding a service provider to easily create the TDBM service
Migrate the library to PHP 7 only: support from older PHP versions will be dropped
