I'm pleased to announce that we released DataMapper 1.0 "Vermouth" earlier today.
Thank you to everyone in the community, especially this mailing list and the IRC channel. There's no way we could've reached this milestone without your encouragement and assistance. It's extremely rewarding to see DM hit 1.0, but at the same time it also sets a baseline for future development to build on. In some ways we're only just getting started, the future we have planned for DM is even more ambitious. I'll be writing more about our plans in the coming weeks. Before you install ------------------ The installation process for DM 1.0 is pretty similar to what it was previously in 0.10.x and 0.9.x with a few exceptions: 1) Using auto-migration and auto-upgrading require dm-migrations rather than just dm-core. The reason for this is that dm-migrations should share a lot of code with auto-migrations, but they don’t, and in an attempt to DRY things up we’ve centralized all the code in one package and will begin refactoring the code over the coming months. 2) Transactions require the use of the dm-transactions gem. 3) It is no longer necessary to gem install data_objects or any do_* gem directly. Each DO based adapter has been extracted into their own gems, and installing them will setup the dependencies on dm-core and the appropriate DO gem(s). The new adapters are: dm-sqlite-adapter dm-postgres-adaper dm-mysql-adapter dm-oracle-adapter dm-sqlserver-adapter Installation ------------ Install dm-core: $ gem install dm-core The next thing you want to do is decide which adapter you want to use. For example if you want to use sqlite, do: $ gem install dm-sqlite-adapter This should pull in data_objects and do_sqlite3 automatically, so no need to specify either of those explicitly anymore. It’s likely you’ll want to use migrations (for classic or auto- migrations), and transactions when using sqlite, so to install them do: $ gem install dm-migrations dm-transactions There is also a metagem which combines several gems into a single package: $ gem install data_mapper This pulls a nice base stack for DM development. The gems included are: dm-core dm-aggregates dm-constraints dm-migrations dm-transactions dm-serializer dm-timestamps dm-validations dm-types So putting this all together you can do: $ gem install data_mapper dm-sqlite-adapter Changes ------- In previous release announcements I've provided details about the changes, so I'm not going to repeat myself ;) Instead I'm going to refer you to the list of 61 tickets we've resolved for the 1.0 milestone: http://datamapper.lighthouseapp.com/projects/20609/milestones/62234-0103 How to report issues -------------------- Please report any issues you find in IRC, on the mailing list, or in the tracker: IRC: #datamapper Mailing List: http://groups.google.com/group/datamapper Bug Tracker: http://datamapper.lighthouseapp.com/projects/20609-datamapper -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
