I am very pleased to announce that version 0.7.1 of Elixir
(http://elixir.ematia.de) is now
available. As always, feedback is very welcome, preferably on Elixir
mailing list.

This release packs a few interesting new features (abstract classes
and a new collection
type providing explicit relative resolution of target entities) and
some bug fixes. It is a safe
upgrade from the 0.7.0 release.

The full list of changes can be seen at:

What is Elixir?
---------------------

Elixir is a declarative layer on top of the SQLAlchemy library. It is
a fairly thin wrapper, which provides the ability to create simple
Python classes that map directly to relational database tables (this
pattern is often referred to as the Active Record design pattern),
providing many of the benefits of traditional databases without losing
the convenience of Python objects.

Elixir does not intend to replace SQLAlchemy's core features, and
instead focuses on providing a simpler syntax for defining model
objects when you do not need the full expressiveness of
SQLAlchemy's manual mapper definitions.
