Natural ORM Architect: 2015-01 CTP Released

The January 2015 Community Technology Preview of Natural Object-Role Modeling Architect for Visual Studio is now available through http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/orm or http://www.ormfoundation.org

Expanding the appropriate file download and running Setup.bat will uninstall any old NORMA version and reinstall the new NORMA components. Visual Studio instances should be shutdown before running setup, and Vista/Windows7/Windows8 users should either launch the provided SetupVistaOrLater.bat or explicitly run Setup.bat as an Administrator. The release includes modifications through changeset 1559.

The January 2015 release is primarily a bug fix release. Support for database import from Oracle has also been added (see the Readme for driver details).

The web browser viewers at http://ORMSolutions.com have also been updated to support the constraint types.

Details are available in the included Documentation\Readme.htm installed with NORMA and in the SVN change logs on sourceforge. A copy of the readme has also been posted on sourceforge so you can review changes before you download the binaries.
