New in web2py 1.66.1 (Aug 24, 2009)

- There are minor typos and bugfixes.
- form.vars.uploadfield_newfilename is back.
- The new logo is in (experimental).
- The major change is the following replacements: SQLField -> Field, SQLRows -> Rows, SQLXorable -> Expression, SQLQuery -> Query, SQLSet -> Set, and SQLStorage -> DALStorage.
- The classes with the SQL prefix try for backward compatibility.
- Now you can use Field everywhere; you never need SQLField or db.Field anymore.
