New 1.1 Release Candidate

I just put up a new version of DataFaucet, 1.1 and now a release candidate. This new version has a couple of new features.

1. Integrates with the new CacheBox caching framework that lets you hot-swap the caching engine and gives you a nice management application for all your applications (ColdBox, Wheels, onTap, DataFaucet, FuseBox, etc).

2. A new revision of the Persistence Service that I had started working on last year. This feature was inspired by discussion on two of Joe Rineharts blog entries last year, titled Does ColdFusion Have NO Real ORM Frameworks? and What Makes a Framework an ORM? Out of those discussions I created this new system in DataFaucet that I think will appeal to developers who enjoy Dependency Injection (DI) frameworks like ColdSpring or Lightwire, and would like an ORM that will more or less "stay out of your way". It uses your existing DI Factory as a source for objects and will even generate all the database tables necessary to persist those objects.

Here's the documentation for the new Persistence Service:

Enjoy!
