AO 0.29.x upgrade guide

Impact

@StringLength(450) is the maximum allowed, reduced from the 767. Users must specify @StringLength(UNLIMITED) if more than 450 characters are needed.

May not explicitly invoke Query.select("*"); instead invoke Query.select() to achieve the same results i.e. all columns.

New Features

H2 1.3 support

Notable Bugfixes

Under SQL Server, string columns of length 450 or less will be created as type NVARCHAR, rather than VARCHAR, to support non-latin characters.

Plugin no longer includes java source files for the library.
