I am very pleased to announce that version 0.6.0 of Elixir (http://elixir.ematia.de) is now available. As always, feedback is very welcome, preferably on Elixir mailing list.
Please look at: http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/wiki/Migrate05to06 for detailed upgrade notes. Here are the highlights for this release: - Added support for SQLAlchemy 0.5 - Better support for entities spread across several modules: in relationship definitions, you don't have to use the "full path" to the other entity anymore. - Changed the default session characteristics to be more inline with SQLAlchemy defaults (if you were using the default session, please look at those upgrade notes!). - New methods on the base entity to update entities from or dump entities to a hierarchical (JSON-like) dictionary structure. It also features a bunch of bugfixes, mostly related to non-default schema and autoloaded entities. The full list of changes can be seen at: http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/browser/elixir/tags/0.6.0/CHANGES What is Elixir? --------------------- Elixir is a declarative layer on top of the SQLAlchemy library. It is a fairly thin wrapper, which provides the ability to create simple Python classes that map directly to relational database tables (this pattern is often referred to as the Active Record design pattern), providing many of the benefits of traditional databases without losing the convenience of Python objects. Elixir is intended to replace the ActiveMapper SQLAlchemy extension, and the TurboEntity project but does not intend to replace SQLAlchemy's core features, and instead focuses on providing a simpler syntax for defining model objects when you do not need the full expressiveness of SQLAlchemy's manual mapper definitions.
