FNH development has been slow recently, because the main developer, James Gregory, has taken a new job in Australia.
This has left him with little time to work on FNH. But people are still submitting fixes, and another release is planned, date unspecified. That said, I'm also a little concerned about the slow pace, and considering other options. For my particular application (scientific data collection and analysis), there's very little relational data, so a NoSQL solution might be a better choice. RavenDB looks particularly interesting. Seems to offer all the convenience of FNH automapping, while greatly reducing the complexity associated with persisting everything to an underlying relational database. -Tom On Wednesday, April 11, 2012 4:54:49 PM UTC-4, Marcelo Grossi wrote: > > Hi Tom, > > Is FNH still being developed?
