Since many tasks were waiting my attention, it worth to mention the most important ones. So what's going to happen soon:
- v4.2 will be updated to include latest fixes. Few days ago I added support for VS.NET 2010 (.NET 3.5 only) into its installation scripts, as well as installation of XSD enabling IntelliSense for <Xtensive.Storage> configuration section - thanks to Peter Šulek (Peter, I updated XSD a bit according with the latest changes).
- My primary goal is v4.3 installer. There is no exact release date yet, but if there will be no any serious issues, you might expect VS2010 & .NET 4.0 version quite soon.
- New pricing and licensing policy will be announced shortly - that's one of reasons we delayed v4.3 release. Now it includes protected components, which will function until the end of June 2010. The restriction is compile-time only, i.e. runtime components will be fully usable further. We're going to use this period to integrate full-featured licensing system into DataObjects.Net.
Update: the final pricing model is announced. - We've finally decided to migrate our support forums to OSQA - we liked StackExchange, but e-mail correspondence with its team after this announcement has lead us to conclusion that it's better to migrate to different software. So I also looking for good Unix hosting in US/EU to run our new support web site based on OSQA - unfortunately, they don't sell hosted solution yet.
- After getting this done, I'll switch back to Xtensive.Practices development.
Stay tuned! I'll try to compensate recent absence of my posts.
Hi Alex, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteThanx for mention myself in post, really happy that you include my work in DO4 :-)
Thank _you_ :) It's a pity I've found the time to study and include this only now, but it's a good point for doing this (we anyway significantly update installers, etc.).
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'll add similar XSDs for and sections soon.
ReplyDeleteErr... {Xtensive.IoC} and {Xtensive.Diagnostics} were cut out by Blogger.
ReplyDeleteAnd when will be avilable "Final VS2010/Postsharp2/NET4 support" for download and from where (google sources or you primary x-tensive web site?)
ReplyDeleteIt will be available in few days, but initially - without source code, since this is the first release of v4.X including protection. Access to source code repository will be opened for customers during May-June.
ReplyDeleteThanks for info, i am waiting to this release so much, we are starting new project (NET4 + VS2010) and want to use DO4 as our primary ORM tool.
