eZ Components 2006.2

The major new components in this release are:
- Graph This component renders statistical data into 2-D and 3-D charts and graphs, like bar, pie and line charts.
- SignalSlot The SignalSlot component implements a kind of Subject-Observer pattern for object-oriented application design. Designed after Qt's Signals and Slots mechanism, it gives you a handy tool for inter- and intra-object communication.
- Url This component conveniently extracts data from URLs and similarly creates URLs. This mechanism is commonly used in controller parts of a Model-View-Controller (MVC) implementation.
In addition to the the new Graph, SignalSlot and Url components, many existing components have new features, such as IMAP support for the Mail component, relation handling in PersistentObject and custom function and block support for the Template component. Also, the Database component now supports SQLite in-memory databases using "sqlite://:memory:" as the DSN. The DatabaseSchema component is capable of reading and writing PostgreSQL, SQLite and Oracle database structures and Oracle support has been improved for the Database component.
