Subject: [odb-users] ODB 1.3.0 released
Message-ID: <boris.20110406081818@codesynthesis.com>

Hi,

We have released ODB 1.3.0. The NEWS file entries for this release are
as follows:

  * Support for the SQLite database. Provided connection factories include
    'new' (new connection is created every time one is requested), 'single'
    (single connection is shared among all the callers), and 'pool' (a pool
    of connections is maintained). In multi-threaded applications the runtime
    uses the SQLite shared cache and unlock notification features to aid
    concurrency. For more information, refer to Chapter 11, "SQLite Database"
    in the ODB manual.

  * Support for database-specific profiles. Now the ODB compiler first looks
    for the <profile>-<database>.options file and only if this file is not
    found, does it fall back to <profile>.options.

  * Support for the GCC 4.6 plugin interface changes.

Source code and pre-compiled binary packages for this release are available
from the ODB download page:

We are making progress but MS SQL support is still a couple of months
away.

Subject: [odb-users] ODB 1.4.0 released
Message-ID: <boris.20110427130152@codesynthesis.com>

Hi,

We have released ODB 1.4.0. The NEWS file entries for this release are
as follows:

  * New profile, qt, provides persistence support for the Qt framework. This
    version covers the most commonly used basic types, date-time types, smart
    pointers, and containers. For example, now you can write:

    #pragma db object
    class Employee
    {
      ...

      QString first_name_;
      QString last_name_;

      QDate born_;

      QSet<QString> emails_;
      QByteArray publicKey_;

      QSharedPointer<Employer> employer_;
    };

    The qt profile implementation is provided by the libodb-qt library. For
    more information refer to Chapter 13, "Profiles Introduction" and Chapter
    15, "Qt Profile" in the ODB manual as well as the 'qt' example in the
    odb-examples package.

  * Support for non-polymorphic object inheritance, including the new abstract
    pragma. For more information refer to Chapter 8, "Inheritance" in the ODB
    manual as well as the 'inheritance' example in the odb-examples package.

  * Automatic mapping of C++ enumerations to suitable database types. In
    database systems that support enumeration types (such as MySQL), a C++
    enum is mapped to such a type (for example, ENUM('red', 'green', 'blue')
    in MySQL). Otherwise, it is mapped to a suitable integer type. Refer to
    Part II, "Database Systems" in the ODB manual for more details on the
    provided mappings.

  * New pragma, id_type, allows the specification of the native database type
    that should be used for data members designated as object identifiers. In
    combination with the type pragma, id_type allows you to map a C++ type
    differently depending on whether it is used in an ordinary member or an
    object id.

  * New options, --odb-prologue-file and --odb-epilogue-file, allow the
    inclusion of file contents into the ODB compilation.

  * Default mapping of the size_t and std::size_t types to a 64-bit integer
    database type irrespective of the platform width. This can be overridden
    with the type pragma.
