Nhibernate 3.0 and FluentNHibernate

Question

is anyone building the truck NHibernate and FluentNhibernate together? How's it working? are you using it for production systems?

How is the Linq support?

Is it nearly ready for release?

Is there a nice and concise way to keep up to date with what is going on in the world of NHibernate? (ie, without having to read lots of blogs, and mailing lists )

Answer 1

You can find trunk FNH builds here: http://hornget.net/packages/orm/fluentnhibernate/fluentnhibernate-trunk (I haven't tried it as I don't use Fluent)

NHibernate 3.0 is pretty stable and the new Linq provider is very good, with an excelent coverage of the possible Linq constructs and clever, non-intrusive support of NHibernate specific concerns (caching, fetching)

I'd use it in production without much concern; being in a "pre-alpha" state only reflects the seriousness of the project team, as the current state is more similar to that of a Visual Studio RC than a CTP or Beta.

Update (2010-09-24): Alpha3 will be released this weekend, and a release is to be expected before the end of the year.

Where can you find FNH trunk builds now? hornget.net is gone...
