We've released ORM Profiler v1.1, which has the following new features:

When I woke up this morning, in the vague state of my barely booted mind a thought popped up: we software developers bicker and debate almost solely about procedure, never about diagnostics and which solution to apply to a given problem. It looks like what's really important about what we do is how we create solutions to problems, not about finding out what's wrong in the first place. For doctors things are precisely the opposite: they first and foremost try to get a diagnose what the problem is, what causes it and with that information they pick a solution which is known to fix / cure the problem found with the patient. No diagnose, no cure.

Last weekend we released LLBLGen Pro v3.5! Below the list of what's new in this release. Of course, not everything is on this list, like the large amount of work we put in refactoring the runtime framework. The refactoring was necessary because our framework has two paradigms which are added to the framework at a different time, and from a design perspective in the wrong order (the paradigm we added first, SelfServicing, should have been built on top of Adapter, the other paradigm, which was added more than a year after the first released version). The refactoring made sure the framework re-uses more code across the two paradigms (they already shared a lot of code) and is better prepared for the future. We're not done yet, but refactoring a massive framework like ours without breaking interfaces and existing applications is ... a bit of a challenge ;)

Recently I received an email with the following contents:

We have released v1.0 of our new product, ORM Profiler! ORM Profiler is a tool for data-access analysis, a must-have if you really want to know what's going on inside your application when it accesses the database. See this earlier blogpost for a more detailed overview or visit the website and grab the trial to test it out :)

To celebrate today's release of ORM Profiler has been released today we lowered the LLBLGen Pro license price for the month October (starting today ;)) with €100 to €199!

Normally I don't use this blog to post short messages with a link to other blogposts, but as this blogpost is worth reading, I make an exceptions ;)
