The target date for EntitySpaces release 1.4 is scheduled for May 31st, 2006. We cannot guarantee the May 31st date but we've been pretty good at hitting our goals. The list below is what we are planning for the 1.4 release.

  • MySQL - A MySql EntitySpaces provider for 4.x and 5.x will be available. The provider will support MySQL stored procedures and views for MySQL 5.x.
  • Hierarchical support will be added. This will be done via lazy load and support many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships.
  • DotNetNuke
    • DNN stored procedure and table creation templates will be complete
    • A full DotNetNuke module using EntitySpaces will be provided along with all of the source code.
  • DataBinding support will be improved
  • A template will be provided that will generate ASPX pages using the GridView control

Of course, many other user suggested enhancements and bug fixes will make it into the 1.4 release. We have also purchased Demo Builder which is a great tool for making presentations. Scott will be making a series of presentations in fact on DotNetNuke and how to build modules using EntitySpaces that will come out before the 1.4 release.

Don't let that stop you from buying 1.3 today, with the price of oil going up like it is it may cost us more to ship it to you .... So buy in now while it's cheap (that's supposed to be humor)
