FarCry 6.1 (codename: Mayonnaise) Core Milestone Released

August 8 2011, 7:09 PM  by Geoff Bowers
There is now an official milestone for 6.1.0 and a corresponding maintenance branch. There is no official distro at this time -- just the ./core framework milestone. You can certainly upgrade existing projects if you have a mind, but we'll be releasing a friendlier distribution for folks new to FarCry in the very near future.

milestone-6-1-0

6.1.0 maintenance branch (p610)
https://farcry.jira.com/svn/FC/branches/p610 

# Key Features
  • Precision; allow the developer to nominate the exact precision of a property and have the database schema update accordingly
  • Better support options for new databases; a clean component architecture for adding new database gateways (only supports MSSQL & mySQL at this time)
  • Indexation; allow developers to nominate database indices that are automatically deployed, dropped and altered as needed 
  • Model schema tables that are not FarCry content types. Sometimes you just need a table without all the framework baggage; for example, refObjects and the nested tree model
  • Options for deploying and undeploying multiple objects, and mass property changes. This would make installers and updaters a breeze not to mention make development of customisations even simpler
