Welcome to NHibernate
NHibernate is a mature, open source object-relational mapper for the .NET framework. It is actively developed, fully featured and used in thousands of successful projects.
The NHibernate community website - https://nhibernate.info - has a range of resources to help you get started, including howtos, blogs and reference documentation.
Latest Release Version
The quickest way to get the latest release of NHibernate is to add it to your project using NuGet (https://nuget.org/List/Packages/NHibernate).
Alternatively binaries are available from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhibernate.
You are encouraged to review the release notes (releasenotes.txt), particularly when upgrading to a later version. The release notes will generally document any breaking changes.
Nightly Development Builds
The quickest way to get the latest development build of NHibernate is to add it to your project using NuGet from Cloudsmith feed (https://cloudsmith.io/~nhibernate/repos/nhibernate-core/packages/).
In order to make life a little bit easier you can register the package source in the NuGet.Config file in the top folder of your project, similar to the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<add key="NHibernateDevBuilds" value="https://nuget.cloudsmith.io/nhibernate/nhibernate-core/v3/index.json" />
</packageSources>
</configuration>
Package repository hosting is graciously provided by Cloudsmith. Cloudsmith is the only fully hosted, cloud-native, universal package management solution, that enables your organization to create, store and share packages in any format, to any place, with total confidence.
Community Forums
There are two official NHibernate community forums:
- NHibernate Users - a forum for users to find help using NHibernate
- NHibernate Development - a forum for the developers of NHibernate
Bug Reports
If you find any bugs, please report them using the GitHub issue tracker. A test-case that demonstrates the issue is usually required. Instructions on providing a test-case can be found in contributing guidelines or here.
