Slick 2.0.0-M1

We have just released Slick 2.0.0-M1, the first milestone for Slick 2.0. It should show up on Maven Central within the next few hours. You can find the source code here: https://github.com/slick/slick/tree/2.0.0-M1.

These are the major new features added in this miletone:

• Refactored profile and driver architecture to support non-SQL databases
• A query interpreter and in-memory driver
• Code generator phase incorporated into the query compiler
• Query scheduling
• Full type information available in query ASTs
• Support for server-side Option conversions (e.g. .getOrElse on a computed Option column)
• Improved direct embedding

Note that this is not a production-ready or beta release. In particular, the manual has not yet been updated to reflect the changes and new features (but there are unit tests and scaladoc comments for them). The Slick Extensions package is not available for this milestone release.
