The 1.0.2004.2 beta will not start this week, but next week. I've to implement a few features before the beta can start. These features are below:
DONE- Uniquing for refetching prefetch paths and making sure withing contexts that entities are loaded in a single entity object, so loading a customer entity twice will result in the same object if loaded with the same context object (selfservicing/adapter).
DONE- Various UnitOfWork enhancements
DONE- SetNewFieldValue(index, null) should reset references if field with passed in index is an FK field.
DONE- Setting a field mapped onto a relation to null should make fields on which the FK is based on also null (i.e. default value)
DONE- VS.NET 2005 project files / adjustment of the project file generator task performer to handle vs.net 2005 project files.. Note: some references will have to be added manually, I don't know how to add them in the project file, as some ado.net providers use a hintpath and a regkey.
DONE- minor changes to the generator config files (renaming)
Then there are some bugs which I want to fix, though I'll review them if they lead to new features or that they can be fixed in the beta period. I absolutely want to fix all bugs still open (lots of them are fixed by the new features already) before final release.
Sorry it will take another week, however I want these features to be part of the new version, so I'm not going to cut a week short just by dropping these.
