CAY-560 implemented in 3.0M4?

[Michael Shea <mi...@nitido.com>]

I've noticed that in the release notes for 3.0M4, it indicates that 
CAY-560 has been implemented (support for outer joins).
Looking at the JIRA page for CAY-560 
(http://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-560), it mostly seems to 
talk about Expression.fromString() support.
However, reading this page 
(http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/guide-to-30-features.html) indicates that 
"/as of M4 there is no Expression.fromString() support)/.".

So: Is there support for outer joins in 3.0M4? If so, how do I actually 
create an expression that uses outer joins, as there is no 
Expression.fromString() support? Are there new ExpressionFactory methods?

Thanks!

It is in M4, this docs page is wrong. The following oage explains how  
to build epxressions matching on outer joins:
