Dear community, The recently released version 2.6.0 is probably the last minor release on the 2.x version stream. The time has come to move on to the next major step, jOOQ 3.0. Important features of the 3.0 major release will include:
- Improved Record type-safety through row value expressions - Improved Factory / Configuration API through clean separation of query building and query execution - Improved thread-safety (hopefully) - Improved code generator, which should be more extensible (possibly based on Aaron Digulla's suggestions) - A cleaner "classic" API (as opposed to the DSL API) - Experimentation with more advanced JPA annotations support when mapping Record into POJOs - Experimentation with Scala 2.10 Macros - Removal of all deprecated things - Lots of minor improvements to the API For more details about what is currently being planned, please consider the relevant milestone on GitHub: https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues?milestone=17 Also, feel free to suggest major improvements that should be implemented in a major release. Now is the time! Do note that if you're building jOOQ directly from GitHub master, you may find some API instability in the next couple of months. This release currently has no due date. I expect to have a first release candidate ready by the end of December 2012, though Cheers Lukas
