  4. Re:Maintenance on ORM Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    ORM.NET supports the ability to change the schema over time. Granted, it generates static code tied to the schema (it doesn't react at runtime to code changes), but that has its own benefits in terms of execution speed, type safety, etc.

    As you maintain your application, you can edit the schema and re-generate the ORM layer.

    The Future of ORM.NET

    Dear ORM.NET Customers and Supporters,

    Olero Software is no longer able to continue supporting ORM.NET. We apologize for the lack of communication over the last couple of months and any inconveniences this may have caused you.

    We still believe in ORM.NET as a valuable tool and, therefore, have decided to make the source code available to everyone via SourceForge.NET. We hope this will allow current customers the ability to continue to use and make improvements to the tool. It will also allow us -time permitting - to make improvements and fix defects.

    Please submit bug reports via the SourceForge site.
    We will still be actively fixing any bugs reported and supporting paid customers
    We will be working to improve the online documentation.
    If you are interested in development/CVS access to the ORM.NET source tree, please put in a request!
    For the latest version and complete source go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orm-net/

    Sincerely,
    Olero Software
