AutoMapper 0.3 Beta released

5 April, 2009. It was a Sunday.

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 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!
