+ deleted
  
- The plans of the Torque development team for Torque 4 are summarized below. 
Please change this page only after discussing your proposal on the Torque 
developers list.
- 
- ----
- 
- Consensus is to do the following things:
- 
-  * Next main version should be 4.0.
- 
-  * Simplify the repository structure: No svn externals any more
- 
-  * Kick out village
- 
-  * Change the way to handle non-record-type queries (we used village for that 
until now)
- 
-  * Criterias should not be modified any more inside queries.
- 
-  * Disentangle Query description and SQL creation code.
- 
-  * Use the Criteria object only to hold query data and another object to hold 
update data. Criteria should not extend Hashtable any more.
- 
-  * Use a column object to hold the column name in the runtime instead of 
Strings
- 
-  * Support views
- 
-  * Use a custom velocity renderer to have nicely trimmed generated code.
- 
-  * Have a non-static version of Peer classes. Implementation details are 
under discussion.
- 
-  * Evaluate whether ddlutils can be used for some generator tasks
- 
- Under discussion:
- 
-  * Switch to Maven 2 as build system.
- 
-  * Make the generator more generic.
- 
-  * Support primitives in data objects
- 
- Problematic:
- 
-  * Use Java 5 style generics and enumerations. The problem is that Java 5 
code does not run on jdk 1.4
- 
- In a later version of Torque 4:
- 
-  * Support for object level views
- 
- In a later version of Torque 4, under discussion:
- 
-  * Support for lazy loading
-
