7.0.0-beta02

• EF Core 8 RC2

7.0.0-beta01

• BREAKING: Use SmartEnumAttribute<T> instead of IEnum<T>/IValidatableEnum<T>
• Added support for EF Core 8

6.4.0

• Implemented new method Map on smart enums that returns the provided instances for a specific item.

6.3.0

• Added new enum-gen parameter SkipSwitchMethods
• SourceGen Logging: file name uniqueness can be disabled with ThinktectureRuntimeExtensions_SourceGenerator_LogFilePathMustBeUnique

6.2.0

• Added support for properties with init-accessors
• Source Generator is not just looking for implemented operator-interfaces but checks for user-defined operators as well (useful for DateOnly)
• The generation of the equality operators can be controlled via EqualityComparisonOperators

6.1.0

• Added logging to source generators which is disabled by default

6.0.1

• [BREAKING] String-members of Value Objects (as of Smart Enums) are compared with StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase by default.
• Added further comparer accessors for CurrentCulture*IgnoreCase and InvariantCulture*IgnoreCase
• Optimizations on Source Generator pipelines

6.0.0

• v6 supports .NET 7 only.
• Introduced new interface "IEnum<in TKey, T>" which is going to be implemented by the source generator
• The key equality comparer is static abstract property in .NET 7
• The property "Items" is "static abstract"
• Keyed value objects implement IKeyedValueObject<T, TKey>
• Replaced KeyedValueObjectAttribute with non-generic interface IKeyedValueObject
• The delegate "Validate" is obsolete
• Replaced ValueObjectConstructorAttribute with IComplexValueObject
• Renamed ValueObjectMetadata to KeyedValueObjectMetadata
• Introduced ComplexValueObjectMetadata because it easier to use and faster then reflection
• Configurable whether to generate code for ToString()
• Member comparers are provided via generic attributes instead of strings.
• ValueObjectTypeConverter doesn't have to be generated thanks to abstract static members
• Introduced non-generic IValidatableEnum which is used by serializers
• Renamed ValueObjectIgnoreAttribute to ValueObjectMemberIgnoreAttribute
• Renamed SkipCompareTo to SkipIComparables
• Smart Enums and Value Object implement IComparable, IFormattable and IParsable
• Minimal WebApi is able to bind Smart Enums and Value Objects thanks to IParsable
• Introduced new setting "SkipIFormattables"
• ToString doesn't return null
• Added implementation of IAdditionOperators, ISubtractionOperatorss, IMultiplyOperators, IDivisionOperators, IComparisonOperators
  • Added operators that work with key-member-types
• Always-valid-smart-enums are considered equal if the object references are equal.
• Smart enums implement comparison operators as well.
• ValueObjectEqualityMemberAttribute is obsolete because we have ValueObjectMemberEqualityComparerAttribute
