Roller going into Hibernation?
Dave sent an e-mail to the roller-devel mailing list tonight. If I had a more stable internet connection, I'd be crazy enough to upgrade this site tonight. It's good its unstable as I have two releases deadlines in the next couple of days (one COB tomorrow, one COB Thursday) and I'd hate to get caught up in a Roller upgrade - especially if it didn't work. Anyway, here's Dave's e-mail:
Subject: [Roller-development] Warning - latest code from CVS may be unstable
In other words: Roller now uses Hibernate for persistence!
I am in the process of checking in my Hibernate changes and switching
Roller over to Hibernate. The backend unit tests pass and I've tested
most of the UI (see the Open Office spreadsheet docs/test-plan.sxc), but
upgrading to current CVS is not recommended at this juncture... it
wouldn't be prudent.
I'll probably upgrade my site to the latest CVS code tomorrow night.
I'll let you know how it goes.
What I want to know is - How does it work? Are you pleased with the results? Is it faster? Either way (dud or wild success), I appreciate your hard work Dave and hope this change makes Roller the best weblogger ever!
