CHANGELOG.md

0.xy.z (TBD)

Minor Changes

• Fixed a crash on iOS when creating many short-lived realms very rapidly in parallel (#653)
• RealmObject.IsValid can be called to check if a managed object has been deleted
• Accessing properties on invalid objects will throw an exception rather than crash with a segfault (#662)

0.76.1 (2016-06-15)

Minor Changes

• The Realm static constructor will no longer throw a TypeLoadException when there is an active System.Reflection.Emit.AssemblyBuilder in the current AppDomain.
• Fixed Attempting to JIT compile exception when using the Notifications API on iOS devices.

Breaking Changes

No API change but sort order changes slightly with accented characters grouped together and some special characters sorting differently. "One third" now sorts ahead of "one-third".

It uses the table at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt

It groups all characters that look visually identical, that is, it puts a, à, å together and before ø, o, ö even. This is a flaw because, for example, å should come last in Denmark. But it's the best we can do now, until we get more locale aware.

Uses core 1.1.2

0.76.0 (2016-06-09)

Major Changes

• RealmObject classes will now implicitly implement INotifyPropertyChanged if you specify the interface on your class. Thanks to Joe Brock for this contribution!

Minor Changes

• long is supported in queries
• Linker error looking for System.String System.String::Format(System.IFormatProvider,System.String,System.Object) fixed
• Second-level descendants of RealmObject and static properties in RealmObject classes now cause the weaver to properly report errors as we don't (yet) support those.
• Calling .Equals() on standalone objects no longer throws.

0.75.0 (2016-06-02)

Breaking Changes

• File format of Realm files is changed. Files will be automatically upgraded but opening a Realm file with older versions of Realm is not possible. NOTE: If you were using the Realm Browser specified for the old format you need to upgrade. Pick up the newest version here.
• RealmResults<T> no longer implicitly implements INotifyCollectionChanged. Use the new ToNotifyCollectionChanged method instead.

Major Changes

• RealmResults<T> can be observed for granular changes via the new SubscribeForNotifications method.
• Realm gained the WriteAsync method which allows a write transaction to be executed on a background thread.
• Realm models can now use byte[] properties to store binary data.
• RealmResults<T> received a new ToNotifyCollectionChanged extension method which produces an ObservableCollection<T>-like wrapper suitable for MVVM data binding.

Minor Fixes

• Nullable DateTimeOffset properties are supported now.
• Setting null to a string property will now correctly return null
• Failure to install Fody will now cause an exception like "Realms.RealmException: Fody not properly installed. RDB2_with_full_Realm.Dog is a RealmObject but has not been woven." instead of a NullReferenceException
• The PCL RealmConfiguration was missing some members.
• The Fody weaver is now discoverable at non-default nuget repository paths.

0.74.1 Released (2016-05-10)

Minor Fixes

• Realms now refresh properly on Android when modified in other threads/processes.
• Fixes crashes under heavy combinations of threaded reads and writes.

Minor Changes

• The two Realm and RealmWeaver NuGet packages have been combined into a single Realm package.
• The String.Contains(String), String.StartsWith(String), and String.EndsWith(String) methods now support variable expressions. Previously they only worked with literal strings.
• RealmResults<T> now implements INotifyCollectionChanged by raising the CollectionChanged event with NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset when its underlying table or query result is changed by a write transaction.

0.74.0 Private Beta (2016-04-02)

Major Changes

• The Realm assembly weaver now submits anonymous usage data during each build, so we can track statistics for unique builders, as done with the Java, Swift and Objective-C products (issue #182)
• Realm.RemoveRange<>() and Realm.RemoveAll<>() methods added to allow you to delete objects from a realm.
• Realm.Write() method added for executing code within an implicitly committed transaction
• You can now restrict the classes allowed in a given Realm using RealmConfiguration.ObjectClasses.
• LINQ improvements:
  • Simple bool searches work without having to use == true (issue #362)
  • ! operator works to negate either simple bool properties or complex expressions (issue #77)
  • Count, Single and First can now be used after a Where expression, (#369) eg
    realm.All<Owner>().Where(p => p.Name == "Dani").First(); as well as with a lambda expression
    realm.All<Owner>().Single( p => p.Name == "Tim");
  • Sorting is now provided using the OrderBy, OrderByDescending, ThenBy and ThenByDescending clauses. Sorts can be applied to results of a query from a Where clause or sorting the entire class by applying after All<>.
  • The String.Contains(String), String.StartsWith(String), and String.EndsWith(String) methods can now be used in Where clauses.
  • DateTimeOffset properties can be compared in queries.
• Support for armeabi builds on old ARM V5 and V6 devices has been removed.

Minor Changes

• Finish RealmList.CopyTo so you can apply ToList to related lists (issue #299)
• NuGet now inserts libwrappers.so for Android targets using $(SolutionDir)packages so it copes with the different relative paths in cross-platform (Xamarin Forms) app templates vs pure Android templates.
• Realm.RealmChanged event notifies you of changes made to the realm
• Realm.Refresh() makes sure the realm is updated with changes from other threads.

0.73.0 Private Beta (2016-02-26)

Major Changes

• RealmConfiguration.EncryptionKey added so files can be encrypted and existing encrypted files from other Realm sources opened (assuming you have the key)

Minor Fixes

• For PCL users, if you use RealmConfiguration.DefaultConfiguration without having linked a platform-specific dll, you will now get the warning message with a PlatformNotSupportedException. Previously threw a TypeInitExepction.
• Update to Core v0.96.2 and matching ObjectStore (issue #393)

0.72.1 Private Beta (2016-02-15)

No functional changes. Just added library builds for Android 64bit targets x86_64 and arm64-v8a.

0.72.0 Private Beta (2016-02-13)

Uses Realm core 0.96.0

Major Changes

• Added support for PCL so you can now use the NuGet in your PCL GUI or viewmodel libraries.

0.71.1 Private Beta (2016-01-29)

Minor Fixes

Building IOS apps targeting the simulator sometimes got an error like:

Error MT5209: Native linking error...building for iOS simulator, 
but linking in object file built for OSX, for architecture i386 (MT5209) 

This was fixed by removing a redundant simulator library included in NuGet

0.71.0 Private Beta (2016-01-25)

Uses Realm core 0.95.6.

Platform Changes

Now supporting:

• Xamarin Studio on Mac - IOS and Android
• Xamarin Studio on Windows - Android
• Visual Studio on Windows - IOS and Android

Major Changes

• Added Android support as listed above.
• Added RealmConfiguration to provide reusable way to specify path and other settings.
• Added Realm.Equals, Realm.GetHashCode and Realm.IsSameInstance to provide equality checking so you can confirm realms opened in the same thread are equal (shared internal instance).
• Added Realm.DeleteFiles(RealmConfiguration) to aid in cleaning up related files.
• Added nullable basic types such as int?.
• Optimised Realm.All<userclass>().Count() to get rapid count of all objects of given class.
• Related lists are now supported in standalone objects.

LINQ

• Count() on Where() implemented.
• Any() on Where() implemented.
• First( lambda ) and Single( lambda ) implemented.
• Significant optimisation of Where() to be properly lazy, was instantiating all objects internally.

API-Breaking Changes

• [PrimaryKey] attribute renamed [ObjectId].
• Realm.Attach(object) renamed Manage(object).
• Lists of related objects are now declared with IList<otherClass> instead of RealmList.

Bug fixes

• Bug that caused a linker error for iPhone simulator fixed (#375)

0.70.0 First Private Beta (2015-12-08)

Requires installation from private copy of NuGet download.

State

• Supported IOS with Xamarin Studio only.
• Basic model and read/write operations with simple LINQ Where searches.
• NuGet hosted as downloads from private realm/realm-dotnet repo.
