Initial work towards 2.0 version

[Fabio R.]

Hi all,

I'm happy to annouce that I've just pushed the code to Github:
   http://github.com/fgrehm/outlet-orm

This new version brings some changes to the API and new features. There's still some work to be done in order to catch up with SVN trunk version but the basic functionality is working.

New features:
  - Proxy autoloading and caching
      -> skips Outlet::createProxies()
  - Unit of work
      -> http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/unitOfWork.html
  - Autoupdate
      -> when flushing session, the library can automatically detect entities that where changed and add update orders to unit of work

If you are not familiar with Git but want to try it out, just download a zip file from Github.
For those willing to contribute, just fork my repository and send me a pull request when you are done :-)

Please note that at the moment this is only meant for developers interested on previewing or contributing to 2.0 code. We will continue to maintain the 1.0 branch (bug fixes and updates) until the 2.0 branch is ready (and this might take a while).


I hope you like it and let us know if you run into any issue.

Regards,

Awesome, I love Git and this will me contributing much easier :)

Quick question- Do you think it's worth importing the full subversion
history?

Hi JamesD,

We are happy that you liked! We'll love to get some contribution up there :-D

Well, I've been discussing this migration to Github with Alvaro (the creator of Outlet) but we haven't decided to do it yet. We are going to give it a try on 2.0 development and see how it goes. More help we get, more likely we'll switch ;-)
