Well, we have finally gotten BizBlox ported to .Net 2.0 and using ADO2 specific features. There is an updated preview installer available on SourceForge with the two streams in one (.Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0).
BizBlox now supports a much better transactional model and also features some minor updates to be compliant with C# and CLS 2.0.
It was a tough decision to make BizBlox development become two independant streams and will mean a little more work in the code maintenance, but at the end of the day there are too many advanced, powerful .Net 2.0 native feaures which the API should provide access to, so we chose to create two streams in the source trunk and not simply do a ‘permanent branch’.
The first impact of making this decision is that the .Net 1.1 version of BizBlox does not support the new transactional features which the .Net 2.0 version does, yet the 2.0 version is backwardly compatible with the 1.1 version. I think this is a situation which will ocntinue to emerge as we continue on development.
The 1.4 release will be tidied up and the BizBlox Builder code generation engine for 1.4 will be released as soon as we have a stable and fully documented API release.
