| 97 | * Added accessors for key throughout the api. This breaks compatibility. |
|
| 98 | * insertObject now returns the permanent key for the newly created object. |
|
| 99 | * The old way returned a copy of the object which was an additional read |
|
| 100 | * that was often ignored. Now you can read it only if you need it. |
|
| 101 | * Furthermore, there was not other way of getting the permanent key. |
