v1.9.0b1

1.9 - BETA 1

v1.9 is finally here! This is a feature packed release and may bring the most new features since the initial launch.

We have have been testing various iterations of these features over the last few months, and we are ready for additional users. Docs are still slim for the new components, but we expect them to be complete before release 1.9 stable.

New features include:

• CSV fixture loading
• Improved DTO handling
• New filters
• Dogpile Caching Support
• Multi-node configuration support for read replica optimized services.
• and more...
