3.1 - ORM System

New feature : ORM System

The ORM system acts such as a data provider, directly at the SQL level.
You don't need anymore to write SQL queries manually.

'ORM' stand for Object-Relational Mapping.
It basically means that your component is able to link tables together automatically.

For purists... I know, this is not yet a complete ORM system, but it has the foundations to introduce such new way for loading datas. And more in future!

Documentation

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
