Can anyone link to or list the new features of NHibernate 3.0?
Jason Dentlers book is good start for NHibernate 3
https://www.packtpub.com/nhibernate-3-0-cookbook/book
Also check this article - its the GA but its close to release:
http://www.zvolkov.com/clog/2010/12/04/whats-new-in-nhibernate-3-0-ga/
This is documented in the changelog.txt which is part of the distribution you can download.

I am searching for a good book on NHibernate and sorted out that 'NHibernate in Action' should be good for me.
I am currently working on a project that uses Fluent NHibernate but still would like to dive into how-it-works basics.
Wondering if there is any newer release of NHibernate in Action book other than which explains Version 1.2.
Any ideas?
Get a copy of the NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook
With NHibernate 3 going GA today, I was wondering if I can upgrade a project that is using Fluent NHibernate. Can i simply swap out the 2.1 DLL for the 3.0 and have it work? - Or is there more to it than that?
I know there will be some work with the change in Linq syntax but i am not concerned with that, I just want to know if the DLLs are interchangeable for Fluent.
Many thanks,
Kohan
Addendum
The Fluent guys have done it themselves now:
http://fluentnhibernate.org/downloads
drlongnecker has built Fluent NHibernate for NHibernate 3.0GA. You can grab the source here.
Update: Fluent Nhibernate now officially builds pre-release binaries with NHibernate 3.0.
You need to build them together. Can wait for NuGet to be updated or you can build them yourself.
Or you can put assembly redirect
I am an NHibernate newbie so I apologize if there is an obvious answer to this that I'm missing.
I see some questions on SO and some blog posts referring to NHibernate 3. But when I go to nhforge.org, it looks like the current downloads are for 2.1.2. Is 3 still a work in progress? Are there betas available somewhere? Documentation? Is there an established timeframe / roadmap for 3.X?
Update:
NH 3 has been released :)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhibernate/files/
You can download the latest NHibernate 3.0 Alpha from Sourceforge and view the roadmap / change log for the project on the NHibernate Issue Tracker.
If you click on the "Download Now NH 2.1.2" link on the NHForge home page, that will bring you to the download location for NH 3.0 Alpha 2 source and binaries.
http://nhibernate.info/
For release notes, see this thread from the NH user's group (basically, release notes are available in the download):
http://groups.google.com/group/nhusers/browse_thread/thread/e0cc47b01207b5ae/ef89fb5218e46fd7?lnk=raot&fwc=1&pli=1
Here is an NHibernate features page. Some, but not all, of the 3.0 features are called out here:
http://nhibernate.info/doc/nhibernate-features.html
The NHibernate documentation is here:
http://nhibernate.info/doc/nh/en/index.html
But the documentation doesn't appear to have been updated for NHibernate 3.0 yet. Most of the 3.0 features have documentation available on various blog posts that you can find through Google searches. I'm sure the project would love to have a volunteer pull all the documentation together in one place.
The timeframe / roadmap for NHibernate 3.0 to be officially released is whenever the important bugs have all been fixed. You can watch the progress on bug fixes on the NHibernate JIRA:
https://nhibernate.jira.com/browse/NH
Like most software, NHibernate 3.0 will be released when "it's ready". Here's a quote from Fabio, the project lead for NHibernate:
Roadmap: we hope to fix all of the
actual existing open issues but
because we know that it will be
impossible we can only say you that we
will release NH3 before the end of
this year.
(Source: http://groups.google.com/group/nhusers/msg/40769ab8b95750fc)
From the NHUsers mailing list, it sounds like quite a few people are running NH 3.0 in production.
You can find some information about NH3 from this podcast
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HanselminutesPodcast225LearningAboutNHibernate3WithJasonDentler.aspx
You can also find the source for the project on source Forge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhibernate/files/
It hasn't been released yet. I believe it's still in the alpha stage, as per the wiki
And actually, after listening to Hanselminutes Podcast 225 - Learning about NHibernate 3 with Jason Dentler, http://nhibernate.info/ is a great place to get all the information you're looking for.
Check their website.
You can download binaries there: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhibernate/files/NHibernate/
Is there anyone out there having a working Castle 2.5 based stack including NHibernate (2.1.2.x), FluentNHibernate, Magnum, NServiceBus, rRhino.Security
up and running built for .Net 4?
thanks in advance & greetings,
chris
I recommend using horn to build your stack. All of those projects have available descriptors, you just need to modify them to get the versions you want with the target you want.
What is the current "production ready" version of NHibernate? I get conflicting answers on the hibernate site vs some other posts. Is it 2 or 2.1?? If it's 2.1 where do I get that binary?
The latest production version of NHibernate is 2.1. However there was a large change in 2.1 that is probably preventing people from making the jump right away. Maybe that is why you are getting conflicting answers.
You can always get the latest version from nhibernate.info

Don't forget to grab yourself a copy of NHibernate Linq while you are at it
