I know you have been maintaining Datamapper for nearly 2 years now, and I am wondering about the future of Datamapper. Currently I have a CI application with nearly 80 models using Datamapper and I am wondering about the Datamapper and CI 3.

Will Datamapper v1.8x be compatible with the next version of CI 3 because CI 3 is changing its active record class?[/quote]
I will keep maintaining Datamapper as long as I have the time for it.

I can't say anything about CI 3 until it's released. I've given up trying to keep up with all the changes in the github repo, it was a nightmare. When CI 3 is announced feature complete, I'll have a look.

Is this the next version of https://github.com/WanWizard/Datamapper, and if so do you need help on it?[/quote]
It's a start. Some descisions have been made, like the use of Cabinet instead of CI's AR. I'm tired of coding workarounds for shortcomings in the native drivers.

Lots of stuff is still going to change, and I'm still struggling between writing a better ORM vs backward compatibility with DM 1.x. So don't expect anything soon, I'm very busy and I have to admit CI hasn't been very high on my list for quite some time now.
