Is this project dead?

[JobaDiniz]

So far, I loved PetaPoco, but is this library dead?
I'd like to see this library make an assembly instead of the class and break thing apart, folowing a more good design. More people could contribute to this project, which is a great tiny ORM project.
I don't want an EntityFramework, but some things could be improved to make queries even easier.
It's been 1 year since the last nuget release.

So, any news?

Are you saying you'd prefer a compiled assembly vs. the drop-in C# file? v5 has that; it is the latest NuGet version, but it was never merged into the master branch on GitHub - you'd need to switch to the v5 branch to get it there.

There are a couple forks that have kept development active. schotime's NPoco adds many new features in the areas of querying, mapping, templating, and more. Check out the list of "Extras" in the wiki.

My own AsyncPoco (shameless plug) adds asynchrony for those on .NET 4.5. It basically replaces the entire query API with async equivalents. I'm wide open to suggestions for enhancements, whether directly related to async or not. Feel free to create a ticket if you're looking for something specific.

I was a huge fan of PetaPoco, too, but have since moved to NPoco. Will definitely check out AsyncPoco - thanks tmenier!

That's the thing... forks around the github, differents projects... differents features in different places...

[tmenier]

I can tell you that the decision to do async as a fork wasn't taken lightly. It had implications deep in the heart of how connections are managed, etc, that would have made it difficult at best to implement as a feature enhancement to PetaPoco. In the interest of cleanness (and smallness) it worked a lot better as a separate project.

PetaPoco is very much alive!!!

It'll be a few weeks before the ball is really rolling. I'll be adding more information over the next few days

Just published update nuget packages. Proof that this project is alive. Looking for help #204
