Today, I dropped AutoMapper 0.3 Beta. From the release notes:
New Features
- Mapping to interfaces
- Do not need any implementation configured
- Implementation is created at runtime using proxies
- Dynamic mapping
- Do not need to configure source/destination type
- Used with Mapper.DynamicMap
- Checks configuration before executing the map
- Allows mapping from anonymous types source
- Mapping to fields on the destination type
- Configuring null destination objects behavior
- Mapping to IDictionary<,>
- Configuring global constructors for IValueFormatters, IValueResolvers, and ITypeConverters
- Common use is to substitute an IoC container
Enhancements
- Configuration validation does a dry run, includes array element type checking
- Better configuration exception messages
- Better mapping exception messages, gives resolution context hierarchy
- Mapping to camelCase members
- Custom top-level type converters with ITypeConverter<TSource, TDestination>
Bugs Fixed
- Configuration validation did not respect ignored destination members
- Support for international characters in member names
Thanks
Thanks to the following peeps that sent in patches or made contributions otherwise:

This release was a lot of fun, as I got to play with dynamic proxies, and cleaned up quite a bit of the semantic model. As a reminder, you can always check out the samples or the unit tests in the trunk for specific examples on how to use all the features. Enjoy!
