NHIbernate 2.0 Goes Beta 1 after Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ receives

published 4 months, 23 days ago, submitted by dcarr 4 months, 24 days ago

damon.agilefactor.com — The first official beta for NHibernate 2.0 was released today. This comes on the heels of the damaging ‘boycott’ of the Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ upcoming release, which was anticipated to be a serious competitor to NHibernate. LAST MINUTE UPDATE FROM THE NHIBERNATE TEAM There has been a change in how NHibernate is packaged as the core and contrib aspects now have dedicated locations. Since NHibernate 2.0 Alpha 1, ONLY THE CORE of the project is included at the link above. The Contrib Projects are now in a dedicated location: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhcontrib There are a few new projects that are essential to investigate for your needs (for example the Burrow project). Also be sure to visit the wiki for these significant projects: http://nhcontrib.wiki.sourceforge.net See the end of this post for a partial list of these contrib efforts. The team at domain.dot.net has been working with 2.0.X since the first alpha, and following the progress of the trunk. In our opinion this beta has the high quality of prior betas and we recommend it for non-critical systems immediately as your risk policy allows. We’re working on a more detailed analysis coming soon on some of the key improvements. To download the code direct from the trunk use this SVN URL: https://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhibernate This is no minor update, as with this release they will align with the widely used and praised ‘Hibernate 3.2’ for Java. Here is a listing of the planned new features which are represented to varying degrees of complexness in this beta: read more...
