post 3.1.3

Release 3.1.3.0 went out last night, and I am quite happy with how table lsecs have developed. It is nice to have generic create and edit row operations now, especially as they perform field-level validation. But my excitement is centered around the display.

Table cells, when untyped, support full brace notation. You can even include the document from another rolon in the display of a cell. As well, cells of type pathname, userName and cabinetName are also clickable references. And all these references are tracked in the _refs- table (at the TKS level), so citations work as well.

With the newly enhanced API, it will be easy to support full wiki text in, say, headlines, with very little effort.

So where do we go from here? More validation! We can easily extend descriptor units to support validation of all entries. After that I'd like to work on commands for creating descriptor units. And fix delegation! And that should bring us to release 3.2.
