Whitesquare software would like to announce the first release of DCAF v2 (version 0.1.0).

DCAF v2 builds upon the structure available in the primary version of DCAF, but introduces the ability to have non numeric primary keys, and better support for cross database identity columns.

Not all features of DCAF have been ported to V2 as of yet, and changes are still occuring that may breal future compatibility. A related dcafg v2 project is underway and should be released shortly.

Builds of dcaf v2 are available in the Whitesquare Software Maven repository.

Date support has been in the library for a while now, but I have been recently been developing on SQLServer where I need to write to datetime fields. And it seems that the java.sql.Date is just that. Just the date. No time component.

Although DCAF exposes this field back to the developer as a java.util.Date, there is some conversion down deep that actually processes it back to its java.sql.* equivalent. So a simple change to offer a TIMESTAMP datatype along with the supported DATE type.

Checkins to come soon, after more testing and a new DCAF release on the horizon.
