We've released yet another version of MetaModel, namely version 1.1.6.

This release contains very few changes to the 1.1.5 release:

• A convenience method was added to the Query class: select(FunctionType, Column).
• Upgrading the Apache POI version in MetaModel introduced a few bugs that we did not discover in the 1.1.5 milestone. In 1.1.6 we fixed these bugs and unittesting was significantly improved for this part of the code to prevent any new bugs from emerging.

We hope you enjoy this release and excuse for the hectic release schedule - the before mentioned bug fixes where critical and we hope that you appreciate the quick response from the community.

We have just released the newest version of MetaModel, 1.1.5. This release is a minor release which means no API changes, but a few upgrades in terms of performance, flexibility and ease of distribution (full list):

• The most important upgrade have been to CSV performance. We encountered a bug when querying this type of datastore that meant that the whole DataSet was stored in memory while using it. This has undergone quite some refactoring so that it will now stream through memory as expected, thus keeping the door open for very large CSV files.
• A minor change in the column naming scheme have been implemented for the Excel-based DataContext's. This means that if the first row of a spreadsheet contains only blank fields, we will automatically assign the names "[column 1]", "[column 2]" etc. accordingly.
• The downloadable zip or tar.gz file will now contain a "MetaModel-1.1.5-all.jar" file, which is an assembled jar file containing the classes of all MetaModel modules (core, csv, jdbc, excel etc.), which should substantially ease deployment of the framework.

We hope you enjoy the new release of MetaModel and keep up the good work of providing the valuable feedback that drives development of it.
