Slick 1.0.0-RC2

We are happy to announce the release of Slick 1.0.0-RC2 for Scala 2.10.0. All artifacts are available from Maven Central. You can find the source code here: https://github.com/slick/slick/tree/1.0.0-RC2. The documentation for this release is located at http://slick.typesafe.com/doc/1.0.0-RC2/.

This is the second release candidate for Slick 1.0.0, with some bug fixes, improved documentation and new test cases on top of RC1. If no critical bugs are discovered in RC2, we expect to release it as 1.0.0 final in two weeks.

Note that the groupId for all Slick artifacts has changed between 1.0.0-RC1 and 1.0.0-RC2 from com.typesafe to com.typesafe.slick. RC2 has also been published under the old groupId with the appropriate relocation information in the POM. Any new releases will only be published under com.typesafe.slick.

Here is a complete list of changes since 1.0.0-RC1:
