2.0.0 Developer Build #22 (Beta 1)

Notable Changes

• More API changes to conform to internal spec (in other words, to have as close to the same signatures as Java and Swift as possible). The final review has been completed and there are no more anticipated changes. See #941 for a list of most of the changes
• URI scheme update: The target URI scheme has changed from blip:// (blips:// ) to ws://(wss://) respectively

Known Issues

• Database copy API on Android requires copying files out of the assets first into a temporary location (since they have no file paths when they are in Android assets)

2.0.0 Developer Build #21

Notable Changes

• Fairly sweeping API changes to conform to the internal specification (in other words, to have as close to the same signatures as Java and Swift as possible). A final review is underway and hopefully not too many more changes are needed. Here are a few big ones:
  • Replication, Database, and IQuery events are no longer events, but now have methods (with the same signature as event handlers) registered via AddChangeListener (with an overload to accept a TaskScheduler, and now where possible the support assemblies provide a main thread task scheduler for convenience).
  • IQuery.Run() -> IQuery.Execute()
  • Mutable objects Set(), Add(). and Insert() overloads have been renamed (Set(string, object) -> SetValue(string, object), Set(string, string) -> SetString(string, string), etc)
  • Expression.Meta().ID -> Meta.ID
  • Query functions that operate on arrays moved to ArrayFunction class
  • No more ToLive() function on queries, and no more ILiveQuery. Queries are now automatically live if a change listener is added to them (No call to Run() needed for this behavior). They will stop firing if all change listeners are removed, or they are disposed.
  • Full text searching has been fleshed out more, and Match() has been removed from IExpression. Now the way to do it is to use FullTextExpression.Index(string).Match(searchString) where the Index argument is the name of the full text index you want to use.
  • Creating indexes now skips a step and takes arguments directly (Index.ValueIndex().On(...) -> Index.ValueIndex(...))
  • Fragment and MutableFragment are replaced by interfaces IFragment and IMutableFragment. The methods of getting and setting values have been converted to properties (ToFloat() / SetFloat() -> Float)
• Fixes bugs: #928, #929, #931, #932, #934, #936, and other issues uncovered during testing

Known Issues

• Some source files are not automatically available during debugging due to a combination of two issues:
  • 1: Source link has no submodule support
  • 2: VS 2017 debugger does not support PDB embedded source files yet (Support claimed in VS 15.5 though)
• Database copy API on Android requires copying files out of the assets first into a temporary location (since they have no file paths when they are in Android assets)

2.0.0 Developer Build #20

Notable Changes

• The biggest change by far is the change to immutability rules. By default, databases now return read only documents and the naming of these objects has changed. In general, ReadOnlyXXX has become simply XXX, and XXX has become MutableXXX. For example, ReadOnlyDocument has become Document, and Document has become MutableDocument. To create a mutable document from a non-mutable one, use the ToMutable() function. Mutable documents will not have any concurrency guarantees, but non-mutable ones will.
• Couchbase.Lite.Support.NetDesktop has been changed so that it is no longer a .NET Standard 1.4 library, but a multi-targeted .NET Core 1.0+ / .NET Framework 4.6.1+ library. There was a needed API that was not available in the .NET Standard 1.4 API, but moving the .NET Standard version up would have lost 4.6.1 support. The assembly is still compatible with its intended targets.
• Fixes bugs: #925, #926, and other issues uncovered during testing

Known Issues

• Some source files are not automatically available during debugging due to a combination of two issues:
  • 1: Source link has no submodule support
  • 2: VS 2017 debugger does not support PDB embedded source files yet (Support claimed in VS 15.5 though)
• Database copy API on Android requires copying files out of the assets first into a temporary location (since they have no file paths when they are in Android assets)

2.0.0 Developer Build #19

Notable Changes

• IReadOnlyDictionary / IDictionaryObject, IReadOnlyArray / IArray now return Dictionary<string, object> and List<object> instead of IDictionary<string, object> and IList<object> so that the return value can be used in both read only and read write interface signatures (e.g. both Foo(IDictionary<string, object> and Foo(IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>))
• Ensure that calls to Activate are only performed once (unclear on the impact on Android if the passed activity gets destroyed)
  Fixes bugs: #864, #908, #918, #922 and other issues uncovered during testing

Known Issues

• Some source files are not automatically available during debugging due to a combination of two issues:
  • 1: Source link has no submodule support
  • 2: VS 2017 debugger does not support PDB embedded source files yet
• Database copy API on Android requires copying files out of the assets first into a temporary location (since they have no file paths when they are in Android assets)

2.0.0 Developer Build #15

Notable Changes

• Collation API now supported on Linux platforms (Android coming soon)
• Statically compile, so iOS 9 will work now
• Add a database copy API (note: current behavior will replace an existing database, but this may change) to make copies of a database (useful for seeding and/or backup).

Known Issues

• Collation API is not implemented on Android yet (needs ICU wrapper)
• Some source files are not automatically available during debugging due to a combination of two issues:
  • 1: Source link has no submodule support
  • 2: VS 2017 debugger does not support PDB embedded source files yet
• Database copy API on Android requires copying files out of the assets first into a temporary location (since they have no file paths when they are in Android assets)

2.0.0 Developer Build #14

NOTE The symbol server (http://mobile.nuget.couchbase.com/symbols/Developer/) has been retired in favor of SourceLink, which will link the symbol files directly to GitHub for download. This makes use of the portable PDB format, which is much smaller. The symbols will be included in the main package.

Notable Changes

• Select all properties via SelectResult.All()
• Lots of new functions (Check the Function class) for use in querying
• Collection functions (Any / Every / AnyAndEvery) for running predicates on array items during query
• Collation API (see Collation class) for locale and language based sorting of strings
• Typed setter functions (SetString, SetInt, etc) and added GetFloat for completion
• Expanded the replicator statuses
• Bug Fixes: #897

Known Issues

• Library still does not work on iOS 9 (it will soon)
• Collation API is not implemented on Android or Linux platforms yet (needs ICU wrapper for Android and bundled ICU for Linux)
• Some source files are not automatically available during debugging due to a combination of two issues:
  • 1: Source link has no submodule support
  • 2: VS 2017 debugger does not support PDB embedded source files yet

2.0.0 Developer Build #13

Notable Changes

• Queries can now make use of Limit() and Offset()
• The internal synching mechanism has been altered in a breaking way. With this release you need to use Sync Gateway 1.5.0-477 or higher.
• SelectResult can now use As to create an alias for that particular column
• Columns can now be accessed by key instead of just by index (by default the key is the last element of the property name that was selected [e.g. contact.address.city -> city], or an arbitrary 1-based index string $1, $2, $3, etc for rows that are not based on a property such as min, sum, etc. If an alias is provided, that will be used instead)
• Corrected a silly spelling mistake (Support.NetDestkop-> Support.NetDesktop)
• Removed DocumentID, Document, etc from IQueryRow and use IResult instead (see docs\examples\Program.cs for how to get the Document or ID, but Document might make a comeback before GA)
