In the next few days I will be uploading the latest version of Retina.NET binaries and source.

This version includes some major features and changes, and some of them are:

*- Support for inheritance, in it's three known forms of persistence.
*- Support for lazy load of related entities and collections.
*- Support for Identity and RowId columns with values generated in the DB.

With this new additions I think that Retina.NET can be declared "feature complete", and then entered now BETA status. This means that i will focus now in getting a bug free/reliable/scalable/fast version including the features we already have at this point.

New features (and there are many of those) will be included in the new codebase for the next version of Retina.NET (version number not known yet).

I'm playing with .NET 2.0 two since Beta1, but there are too many things in the air to begin to work seriously. The new Beta2 of the .NET Framework broke too many things, and i'm waiting for Beta2 versions of the libraries used by Retina.NET (such as NullableTypes, CastleProxy, Log4Net, etc).

If you have comments about some feature or bug you want included/fixed for this version, speak now! All comments are very welcome.

Best regards, and hope hearing from you soon!

  Yeap, the Workspace on GotDotNet is private. And that means that you must be a member to download the binaries, code and participate on the message boards.
