We are glad to announce 3.1M3 release of Cayenne. This is an important milestone on our way to Beta. In fact there is a good chance that the next release will be announced as Beta. Upgrade to M3 is strongly recommended to all 3.1 users, as it contains some critical bug fixes. The highlights of the M3:
* Core API improvements - cleaner vararg APIs in ObjectContext and Cayenne classes, ObjectContext.localObject(Object), etc. * Switching more of the internals to DI (query cache providers, loggers, various strategies controlling ObjectContext behavior, etc.). We'll keep working on this, so M4 will have more of it, and in fact there are a number of existing patches waiting for review (e.g. DI-based ExtendedTypes). * New QueryCache implementation based on EHCache (not thoroughly tested yet, so user feedback will be very helpful). * Refactoring of "cayenne-lifecycle" based on experience using it in the real apps. * Fixing a number of critical bugs.
