Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of ODB 1.5.0.

ODB is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It
allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having
to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of
the mapping code.

Major new features in this release:

  * Support for the PostgreSQL database, including updates to the Boost
    and Qt profiles.

  * Support for per-class database operations callbacks.

  * New NULL handling mechanism.

  * Ability to specify database default values and additional column
    definition options.

A more detailed discussion of the new features as well as some performance
numbers for the new PostgreSQL support can be found in the following blog
post:

For the complete list of new features in this version see the official
release announcement:

ODB is written in portable C++ and you should be able to use it with any
modern C++ compiler. In particular, we have tested this release on GNU/Linux
(x86/x86-64), Windows (x86/x86-64), Mac OS X, and Solaris (x86/x86-64/SPARC)
with GNU g++ 4.2.x-4.5.x, MS Visual C++ 2008 and 2010, and Sun Studio 12.
The currently supported database systems are MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL.

Enjoy,
