The EntitySpaces 2008 Release Candidate is available now. Both the Developer and Trial Versions are available. Not all of the items on the roadmap are going to make the 1st ES2008 release. Those items listed on the roadmap not shown in red will be included in a follow on maintenance release. We are probably looking at less than two weeks before the official release so we encourage you to upgrade and try it out to make sure that there are no fixes that you need.

Here is a short list of fixes and enhancements included in the Release Candidate:

• esDataSource will automatically fetch the TotalRowCount if you do not set it
• Added LINQ support too (optional template option)
• Added source code for VistaDB and SqlCe MetadataEngine plugins to installer
• Fixed some Casting issues
• Fixed DatePart sub-operator for Oracle
• Fixed CodeSmith generation error for SqlCe
• Fixed CodeSmith generating un-compileable code for Oracle sequences
• Fixed ordering issue with paging for Oracle
• PostgreSQL Guid Support

From mobile devices to large scale enterprise solutions in need of serious transaction support, EntitySpaces can meet your needs. Whether you’re writing an ASP.NET application with medium trust requirements, a Mono application, or a Windows.Forms application, the EntitySpaces architecture is there for you. EntitySpaces is provider independent, which means that you can run the same binary code against any of the supported databases. EntitySpaces is available in both C# and VB.NET. EntitySpaces uses no reflection, no XML files, and sports a tiny foot print of less than 200k. Pound for pound, EntitySpaces is one tough, dependable .NET architecture.
