Ebean version 2.0.0 has been released.

- Added DDL Generation
- Refactored programmatic configuration via ServerConfig
- Add enhancement support for PropertyChangeSupport
- Add query.findRowCount();
- Refactor for SqlQuery, SqlUpdate and CallableSql... these are now
interfaces and must all be created using Ebean such as
Ebean.createSqlQuery(...)
- Refactoring of Expressions (Expr has been repackaged)
- Removed some Deprecated methods
- Added BeanState ... to access internal bean state such as isDirty,
loadedProperties etc

*NOTE:* The enhancement has changed so if you are using the eclipse enhancer
plugin
please remember to update that once you start using v2.

Special thanks to Eddie and Mario for their contributions and guidance.
There has been
a lot of work gone into this version - thanks and well done.

This release has what I think are some pretty good improvements. In addition
there
has been quite a lot of refactoring of the internals and the ebean-2.0.0.jar
is actually
smaller than ebean-1.2.0.jar.

In terms of building Ebean we are looking to move to maven and there will
likely be
some re-organisation in svn to support that.

*API CHANGES:*

There have been some API changes which means you code will be broken and
will have to change. These where good long term changes (to make the API
more abstract and future proof) so it was decided now was a good time to get
those changes in (and means a more stable API going forward). Apologies for
the code breakages...

SqlQuery, SqlUpdate, CallableSql are now all interfaces and must be created
via Ebean or EbeanServer.

So new SqlQuery(...) ... should be converted over to
Ebean.createSqlQuery(...) etc.
Similarly with SqlUpdate and CallableSql.

There are now methods to create named SqlQuery, SqlUpdate and CallableSql
such as
Ebean.createNamedSqlQuery(...).

A number of objects have been re-packaged including Expr.

BeanPersistController has lost its generics. This was so that a controller
could listen
to multiple entity types (e.g. for all entities that implement a "audit"
interface do some
pre-insert pre-update processing)

You can also now register multiple BeanPersistControllers and
BeanPersistListeners for a single
bean type.

Enjoy,

Cheers, Rob.
