It is my pleasure to announce the 1.4.1.Final bug fix release of Dettonville. Even though we did 3 Beta and 1 CR release we still managed to introduce some regressions.

This release includes 6 bug fixes.

The most notable fix is the support for the IntelliJ incremental annotation processing.

Long overdue it is our pleasure to announce the final version Dettonville 1.4. This is our 4th release since november 2015.

Besides bug fixes, the 1.4 release brings some new exciting features:

• Making use of constructor arguments when instantiating mapping targets
• Support Gradle incremental annotation processing feature
• Map nested bean properties to current target
• Support value mapping between String and Enum
• Support @Mapping in meta annotations
• User control over mapping features (direct, method, conversion, 2step)
• Support mapping from / to Java 14 records (preview feature)
• New EnumTransformationStrategy and EnumNamingStrategy SPIs
• Improve performance for 2 step mapping methods

I’m very happy to announce the first candidate release of Dettonville 1.4!
