folks! a while ago while working on concurrency issues we realized that we need to add an integer modCount field to ItemState and that this field needs to get persisted as well. the persistence format will change as a result.
since we haven't released anything yet i guess this is one of the last occasions for such changes without having to worry about backwards compatibility issues. while at it i also plan to clean up some persistence manager implementations and improve the serialization format currently used by ObjectPersistenceManager and DbPersistenceManager (reduce size of binary representation). i'll commit the changes in the next couple of days unless somebody raises serious objections. cheers stefan
