Can you please let me know what the status is on support for new SQL Server data types? Also would like to expand my inquiry to XML and variant datatype and if they are support and if so how they are to be used via BO Mapper, etc

Thank you.

We are planning on releasing them and will allocate some time this month to look at them. This has been on the radar for a while and is already something the developing team planned to address, as you know. In our list of most pressing to least in regards to overall community impact, this item is close to the top and will be in there very soon. We will make sure you are the first one to know it when it is ready.

One thing could help us all, could you please give me a list of the data types you are most interested in order of priority? FILESTREAM, for example, will require much more time and some business logic changes. So this one will not be in there the same time as some of the new dates, etc.

Cheers.
