Version 2.0.0 Notes

PostgreSQL Support: abarorm now supports PostgreSQL databases in addition to SQLite and MySQL. Automatic Table Management: Tables are created or updated automatically based on model definitions without manual intervention. Important for Developers: When adding new fields to models, they will default to NULL. It’s recommended to recreate the database schema after development is complete to ensure fields have appropriate constraints and default values.
