A month ago iBATIS turned 7 years old, and while we're celebrating a little late, today we're happy to announce iBATIS 3 for Java. iBATIS 3 is a complete rewrite from the ground up and thus represents the biggest change since the very first version of iBATIS released in 2002. There are a lot of modern features that take advantage of Java 5. iBATIS 3 includes simplified design and some great new tools for helping you build great database driven applications. iBATIS 3 carries forward all of the principles that have made iBATIS popular. There are still no required 3rd party dependencies, it's simpler than ever, and yet far more powerful! More information will come in the next few days to help you get started. Introducing the iBATIS Schema Migration System
Along with iBATIS 3, we're happy to introduce the iBATIS Schema Migration System (or iBATIS Migrations for short). This powerful tool was inspired by Rails Migrations and similar tools like dbdeploy to enable good database change management practices, help teams to work concurrently without stepping all over each other and avoid having to centralize database changes. Once you work this way, you'll find it very hard to work any other way again. Developers and DBAs will appreciate it equally. You can find the new artifacts including the new jar files and manuals at the URL below. http://ibatis.apache.org/java.cgi We will send out an email as soon as we get the artifacts out on the Maven repositories. iBatis Team --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-java-unsubscr...@ibatis.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-java-h...@ibatis.apache.org
