Re: CVS changes & HOWTO

[Jason Pincin <chardros@linuxkb.org>]

Just an FYI, I'm aiming to commit object/user security stuff tomorrow
still... and in that commit will also be the object_url() function...
people can start using this function to auto generate URL's for displaying
objects based on what object your going to show, what action your taking
on it, etc.  It will also transparently handle $current_session and
$current_user info from render.php3.

This will prevent you from ever having to update URL's in your pages
again, as a result of Aaron mucking around :)  

/me ducks.

OK OK... I guess me too....
