The Torque team is pleased to announce the release of Torque 4.0. It is available via download on http://db.apache.org/torque/torque-4.0/download.html (please empty your browser cache) or via maven central under the group id org.apache.torque.
The most prominent changes with respect to 3.3 are - The generator is now a general-purpose code generator. - As the templates are now modular, it is easy to extend or modify the generated code without having to replace the whole set of templates. - A new Criteria implementation was created, with slightly changed semantics. The old Criteria implementation was retained but deprecated. - Prepared statements are used throughout all queries. - Column names are now encapsulated in objects. However, the overall look and feel of Torque 3 was maintained. The most prominent changes with respect to 4.0-beta1 are - Updates using custom SQL now use prepared statements. - The documentation is now available for download. - The documentation structure was reorganized. - There are now specific exceptions thrown for deadlocks and constraint violations (DeadlockException and ConstraintViolationException). - Associated object state can now be set by a bulk operation (see generated setAndSave methods in Peers). - And a few bugs were fixed.
