This is the most wordy (and slightly controversial) release note I've
written. I'll leave it 24 hours if anyone has amendments to this
before I touch the front page to have it update, and send to the email
lists/freshmeat/etc/etc
Cheers

New News: CAYSITE : Cayenne 3.0M6 Released (25 May 2009)
Cayenne 3.0M6 Released (25 May 2009) has been created by Ari
Maniatis (May 27, 2009).
Content:
Another release on the journey to Cayenne 3.0! This milestone adds a
plethora of new features including quoting of identifiers (useful
for db column names with spaces), nested contexts in ROP, and EJBQL/
SQLTemplate/ProcedureQuery queries now support the full range of
configuration options available to native SelectQueries. The Modeler
received new features such schema analysis on startup (which can
prompt the user to create or upgrade the database schema) and
support for EJBQL. Naturally, lots of bug fixes have also made it
into Cayenne in the last 5 months since the previous milestone.
In response to user demand, the Cayenne team have also decided to
not target JPA compliance for 3.0, and instead focus on further
improvements to the range and flexibility of the native API.
Although Cayenne may return to focus on JPA in the future, the work
done already (such as lifecycle events, EJBQL, etc) has been very
useful and will remain important parts of Cayenne for everyone to
use. Cayenne's clean and powerful API is one of the main reasons
users choose this library and focussing our efforts there is our
primary goal.
We hope you enjoy this latest release. There will probably be only
one more release with new features before 3.0 is settled into beta
testing, so we encourage everyone to try this latest milestone, and
report back to us with any important missing functionality. We have
several developers who track Cayenne trunk reasonably closely in
production systems, so we are confident of the stability of this
release. It is likely that there will be some API changes before the
final 3.0 is released.
