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/

I am looking for a javascript solution which can unordered list to a treeview with checkboxes.
So far the best one I have seen is Dynatree. However, looking at the page and the fiddle , I learned that there is a designated successor named Fancytree.
I am planning to implement the solution in a production environment.
Which is the best library to use?
As of today (nov. 2013) Dynatree is the stable version.
While the core functionality in Fancytree is already pretty stable too, there still may be some changes to the API and markup. I am planning to release Fancytree early next year.
So if you want to be on the save side, use Dynatree.
If you are fine with core functionality, want to help to test and improve this open source project and are ready to modify your code every now and then: use Fancytree.
(Disclaimer: I am the author of both.)
Update 2014-05-01
Today I released v2.0.0
Dynatree is EOL. Last commit was on 19 Aug 2016.
I will support Dynatree for a while, but no new features will be added.
It is recommended to migrate to Fancytree. It's easy: see also the migration hints.

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 would like to get all 3 of these libraries working together but have a version problem.
Latest version of Linq To Hibernate (1.0) came out on 2009-07-26 and works with NHibernate 2.1.0 afaik. Fluent NHibernate's oldest release on the other hand is for NHibernate 2.1.2.
Google search yielded this zip file of binaries compiled together but it's somewhat outdated (2009-07-19). I'm not sure downloading the latest source code of each project and trying to build them together will work or not, I'd rather not to go that way unless I have to.
I guess the weakest link in this combination is Linq To NHibernate and maybe I should think of leaving it outside if there isn't an active community effort.
In short: Does anyone use these libraries together and if so, how did you solve this issue? Do you build it all yourself?
Note:
Looks like a duplicate of this question but it has been 1 year since it's answered, and the links given in the accepted answer don't work anymore.
NHibernate ver 3 has been released which already has the linq libraries. Download the latest binaries.
I don't think Fluent has been updated to use 3 yet so download the latest source for fluent and replace the NHibernate assemblies with the new NHibernate version 3 assemblies. You will need to tweak the source ever so slightly so that it compiles. Compile it in release mode and grab the output from the project bin folder.
It has been working fine for us.
EDIT
As Kohan pointed out you can download the latest version of Fluent 1.2 with the latest version of NHibernate 3 from the link to Fluent NHibernate I provided earlier.
I was just looking on nhforge and saw the most recent release of nhibernate 3.0 is the alpha 1 release. Is that the most recent available binaries, or did I miss them?
Also, is nhiberante 3.0 solid enough to use in a production environment. Is anyone currently using 3.0 for development?
I am beginning to develop a new project and was wondering if I should stick to 2.12 or if it safe to move onto 3.0.
Thank for any thoughts.
EDIT -
I just found the following web post - http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/08/NHibernate-3.0 - which contains the following -
"NHibernate has reached version 3.0 Alpha 1, and is “rock solid”, according to Jason Dentler, author of the upcoming book "NHibernate 3 Cookbook" from Packt Publishing, and interviewed by Scott Hanselman. Dentler also said that even if it is an alpha release, NHibernate 3 is already used in production."
NHiberante does not have an instable branch. The code in the trunk is stable, but it is not feature complete until released. There can be issues in new features, but no issues in existing features. You can use the NHiberante trunk in production. Thousands of people do it already, you won't be the first one. The version in the trunk is more stable than the alpha binary release, because it contains bug-fixes. For NHiberante the rule is: The newer, the more stable.
"ready for production" is hard to answer. I suppose since it's alpha, you can simply say "no".
However, I am using it in a small project that is in production with no issues at all. I am quite impressed with the quality and "solid-ness" for an alpha release. Note that I have much of the code using nhibernate covered with integration tests, so my confidence is pretty high.
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
