20 September 2012 - Torque-4.0-beta1 released

This release of the Torque 4 branch allows feedback before the 4.0 release. The main changes with respect to Torque 3.3 are:

• The "look and feel" of Torque 3 was maintained.
• The generator is now a general-purpose code generator.
• As the templates are now modular, it is easy to extend or modify the generated code without having to replace the whole templates.
• A new Criteria implementation was created, with slightly changed semantics. The old Criteria implementation was retained but deprecated.
• Prepared statements are sued throughout all queries.
• Column names are now encapsulated in objects.

18 February 2011 - Village 3.3.1 released

Village is the bridge between Torque and the JDBC-API. This release fixes some long outstanding bugs and can be used as a drop-in replacement for village-3.3. The source and binaries are available in the Maven Repository

Changes in this version:

• Fixed: Case sensitivity issues with cached metadata.
• Fixed: Getting the metadata from a prepared statement without execution does not work with Oracle.
• Fixed: Use cached metadata when running selects. Metadata can be loaded into the cache with Schema.initSchemas(Connection) Issue: TORQUE-36.
• Fixed: Statement is left open when Exception is thrown in the QueryDataSet constructor. Issue: TORQUE-123.
• Fixed: Village does not close every resultSet it opens. Issue: TORQUE-8.
• Deal with situation arising in jre1.6.0_18 where an IllegalArgumentException is encountered for dates with a single digit month or day of month. Issue: TORQUE-133.
• Fixed the infamous NPE when Oracle returns null for a blob.

07 September 2008 - Torque 4 branch created

10 February 2007 - Maven 1.0.x Dependency Problems

Maven default repository has moved and now Maven 1.0.x is unable to find required dependencies without a minor configuration change. You will need to add the following to your project.properties file:

maven.repo.remote=http://repo1.maven.org/maven

A good place to do add this is in your user id's default Maven project.properties file. This is in your user home directory, e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\userid on Windows or ~userid on *nix. If it doesn't exist, just create one with just that line.

For more information see the Maven 1.1 Site.
