A:
NHibernate 3 Alpha (full .NET Framework 3.5 support):
With the 3.0.0 release, NHibernate includes support for LINQ, along with additional features such as:
Along with a long list of bug fixes and improvements, it has several new features including a new strongly typed criteria API called QueryOver; lazy loading of columns; alias delimiting in generated SQL; and support for DetachedCriteria within IStatelessSession. The new release also brings improved support for LINQ, overcoming the HQL limitations of the previous provider.
Upgrading users should be aware that one of the fixes means that null values in dictionaries are no longer silently ignored, which has the potential to break existing application code.
