[odb-users] ODB 1.7.0.a1 available

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

The first alpha version for the upcoming ODB 1.7.0 is now available. The 
NEWS file entries so far are:

 * Support for optimistic concurrency. For more information refer to the
   'optimistic' example in the odb-examples package.

 * Support for read-only objects, composite value types, and data members.
   The new readonly pragma can be used to declare one of these entities as
   read-only. Constant data members are automatically treated as read-only.
   For more information, refer to Section 11.1.4 "readonly (object)",
   Section 11.3.6 "readonly (composite value)", and Section 11.4.10
   "readonly (data member)" in the ODB manual.

 * Support for persistent classes without object ids. Such objects have to
   be explicitly declared as not having object id and they have limited
   functionality. For more information, refer to Section 11.1.5 "id", in
   the ODB manual.

 * Support for mapping char[N], unsigned char[N], and std::vector<unsigned
   char> to the BLOB (or equivalent) types. For more information, refer to
   Chapters 13 (for MySQL), 14 (for SQLite), 15 (for PostgreSQL), and 16
   (for Oracle) in the ODB manual.

 * Query result iterator now provides the id() function with allows one to
   get object id without loading the object. For more information, refer to
   Section 4.4 "Query Result", in the ODB manual.

This pre-release (as well as all the future pre-releases) is available
from:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/download/odb/pre-release/

The ODB compiler binaries are only available for Windows, GNU/Linux (x86
and x86_64), and Solaris (x86). The SHA1 sums for all the files in this
pre-release are provided at the end of the email.

Testing and feedback are appreciated.
