arguments are passed. (Reported by Michael Reece)

keys that reference the same remote key into a single multi-column
foreign key. (Reported by Marlon Bailey)

table aliases when passed empty with_objects or require_objects
array reference values. (Reported by Denis Moskowitz)

being resolved when used in nested query parameters.
* Relationship count methods no longer die when the count is zero.
(Reported by Derek Watson)

that caused cross-database foreign keys to be erroneously created
when tables with the same names exists in two different databases.
(Reported by Adrian Howard)
* Deleting one-to-one related objects on save now works correctly.
(Reported by Ovid)

Manager arguments correctly. (Patch by Michael Reece)
* The use_key parameter to load() now dies if an invalid key is passed.
(Reported by Jonathan Vanasco)
Rose::DB::Object is a base class for objects that encapsulate a
single row in a database table. It provides the following functions:
* Create a row in the database by saving a newly constructed object.
* Initialize an object by loading a row from the database.
* Update a row by saving a modified object back to the database.
* Delete a row from the database.
* Fetch an object referred to by a foreign key in the current object.
(i.e., "one to one" and "many to one" relationships.)
* Fetch multiple objects that refer to the current object, either directly
through foreign keys or indirectly through a mapping table. (i.e., "one
to many" and "many to many" relationships.)
* Load an object along with "foreign objects" that are related through any
of the supported relationship types.
