Before this release, if a text attribute was defined without the max length specified (e.g. name = Required(unicode)), Pony set the maximum length equal to 200 and used SQL type VARCHAR(200).

Actually, PostgreSQL and SQLite do not require specifying the maximum length for strings. Starting with this release such text attributes are declared as TEXT in SQLite and PostgreSQL. In these DBMSes, the TEXT datatype has the same performance as VARCHAR(N) and doesn’t have arbitrary length restrictions.

For other DBMSes default VARCHAR limit was increased up to 255 in MySQL and to 1000 in Oracle.

Bugfixes:

• Correct parsing of datetime values with the ‘T’ separator between date and time
• Entity.delete() bug fixed
• Lazy attribute loading bug fixed
