[ann] new release 1.0.rc3

[Thomas Mahler <th...@web.de>]

Hi all,

I've released the next release candidate this morning.
The most important change: The files are now available for download from
the apache site.
You'll find the new release at:
http://db.apache.org/builds/ojb/1.0.rc3/

from the release notes:

========================================================================
ObJectRelationalBridge -- Bridging Java Objects and Relational Databases
========================================================================

ObJectRelationalBridge (OJB) is an Object/Relational mapping tool that
provides transparent transactional persistence for Java Objects against
relational databases. OJB provides ODMG and JDO interfaces.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 1.0 rc3
---------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES:
- With this release we are feature complete for the 1.0 release!
For 1.0 you should not expect more features to be added.


NOTES:
- Intern table OJB_HL_SEQ (used by SequenceManagerHighLowImpl)
   has changed! Now need an additional column 'VERSION' of type INTEGER
   When updating from earlier version drop/reinstall table with 
additional field
- PersistenceBrokerAware interface changed, methods beforeStore and 
afterStore
   split into xxxInsert/xxxUpdate methods, all methods now expect an 
PersistenceBroker
   argument
- PersistenceBrokerListener interface replaced by PBStateListener
- ManageableCollection interface add new method afterStore(...)
- Remove obsolete method 'invalidate(Identity oid)' from PB-api


CHANGES:
- enhanced PB-api listener classes
- unified handling of events in PB-api
- adapt sequence manager implementations using 'long' instead 'int' keys
- SequenceManagerHighLowImpl now use optimistic locking to support 
sequencing
   across different JVM (except j2ee conform app server, see sequence 
manager doc).
- Add new attribute 'autoNaming' to sequence manager implementations. Now
   the implementations allow to switch on/off auto-generating of 
sequence names
- merging the three package o.a.ojb.broker.ta, .singlevm and .server into
   a new package o.a.ojb.broker.core

BUG FIXES:
- fixed problems with the JDO FieldManager to work with 1:1, 1:n and m:n
   associations
- OJB143, OJB152, OJB153, OJB156, OJB158, OJB159, OJB161

Please refer to our Bug tracking site under
http://scarab.werken.com/scarab/issues/id/OJBxxx to see details for a bug
with id OJBxxx.


I hope you all enjoy the new release!
We had very few severe bugs in rc1 and rc2 and I'm confident that a 
"real" 1.0 will be out soon.

cheers,
thomas

Great to have a new release and to have all files hosted at apache site you
should just update the links on the main page:

the links are in the "download" section.
