4.2.0 (2019-10-07)

Enhancements

  • Added int IndexOf(object) and bool Contains(object) to the IRealmCollection interface. (PR #1893)
  • Exposed an API - SyncConfigurationBase.EnableSessionMultiplexing() that allows toggling session multiplexing on the sync client. (PR 1896)
  • Added support for faster initial downloads when using Realm.GetInstanceAsync. (Issue 1847)
  • Added an optional cancellationToken argument to Realm.GetInstanceAsync enabling clean cancelation of the in-progress download. (PR 1859)
  • Added support for Client Resync which automatically will recover the local Realm in case the server is rolled back. This largely replaces the Client Reset mechanism for fully synchronized Realms. Can be configured using FullSyncConfiguration.ClientResyncMode. (PR #1901)
  • Made the createUser argument in Credentials.UsernamePassword optional. If not specified, the user will be created or logged in if they already exist. (PR #1901)
  • Uses Fody 6.0.0, which resolves some of the compatibility issues with newer versions of other Fody-based projects. (Issue #1899)

Fixed

  • Fixed an infinite recursion when calling RealmCollectionBase<T>.IndexOf. (Issue #1892)

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.23.1 or later.

Internal

  • Upgraded Sync from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1.
  • Implemented direct access to sync workers on Cloud, bypassing the Sync Proxy: the binding will override the sync session's url prefix if the token refresh response for a realm contains a sync worker path field.

4.1.0 (2019-08-06)

Breaking Changes

  • Removed the isAdmin parameter from Credentials.Nickname. It doesn't have any effect on new ROS versions anyway as logging in an admin nickname user is not supported - this change just makes it explicit. (Issue #1879)
  • Marked the Credentials.Nickname method as deprecated - support for the Nickname auth provider is deprecated in ROS and will be removed in a future version. (Issue #1879)
  • Removed the deleteRealm parameter from PermissionDeniedException.DeleteRealmInfo as passing false has no effect. Calling the method is now equivalent to calling it with deleteRealm: true. (PR #1890)

Enhancements

  • Added support for unicode characters in realm path and filenames for Windows. (Core upgrade)
  • Added new credentials type: Credentials.CustomRefreshToken that can be used to create a user with a custom refresh token. This will then be validated by ROS against the configured refreshTokenValidators to obtain access tokens when opening a Realm. If creating a user like that, it's the developer's responsibility to ensure that the token is valid and refreshed as necessary to ensure that access tokens can be obtained. To that end, you can now set the refresh token of a user object by calling User.RefreshToken = "my-new-token". This should only be used in combination with users obtained by calling Credentials.CustomRefreshToken. (PR #1889)

Fixed

  • Constructing an IncludeDescriptor made unnecessary table comparisons. This resulted in poor performance when creating a query-based subscription (Subscription.Subscribe) with includedBacklinks. (Core upgrade)
  • Queries involving an indexed int column which were constrained by a LinkList with an order different from the table's order would give incorrect results. (Core upgrade)
  • Queries involving an indexed int column had a memory leak if run multiple times. (Core upgrade)

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.23.1 or later.

Internal

  • Upgraded Sync from 4.5.1 to 4.7.0 and Core 5.20.0 to 5.23.1.

4.0.1 (2019-06-27)

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent iOS apps from being published to the app store with the following error:

    This bundle Payload/.../Frameworks/realm-wrappers.framework is invalid. The Info.plist file is missing the required key: CFBundleVersion.

    (Issue 1870, since 4.0.0)

  • Fixed an issue that would cause iOS apps to crash on device upon launching. (Issue 1871, since 4.0.0)

4.0.0 (2019-06-13)

Breaking Changes

  • The following deprecated methods and classes have been removed:
    • The SyncConfiguration class has been split into FullSyncConfiguration and QueryBasedSyncConfiguration. Use one of these classes to connect to the Realm Object Server.
    • The TestingExtensions.SimulateProgress method has been removed as it hasn't worked for some time.
    • The Property.IsNullable property has been removed. To check if a property is nullable, check Property.Type for the PropertyType.Nullable flag.
    • The Credentials.Provider class has been removed. Previously, it contained a few constants that were intended for internal use mostly.
    • The User.ConfigurePersistance method has been superseded by SyncConfigurationBase.Initialize.
    • User.LogOut has been removed in favor of User.LogOutAsync.
    • User.GetManagementRealm has been removed in favor of the User.ApplyPermissionsAsync set of wrapper API.
    • User.GetPermissionRealm has been removed in favor of the User.GetGrantedPermissions wrapper API.
  • Deprecated the IQueryable<T>.Subscribe(string name) extension method in favor of IQueryable<T>.Subscribe(SubscriptionOptions options).
  • Reworked the internal implementation of the permission API. For the most part, the method signatures haven't changed or where they have changed, the API have remained close to the original (e.g. IQueryable<T> has changed to IEnumerable<T>). (Issue #1863)
    • Changed the return type of User.GetGrantedPermissionsAsync from IQueryable<PathPermission> to IEnumerable<PathPermission>. This means that the collection is no longer observable like regular Realm-backed collections. If you need to be notified for changes of this collection, you need to implement a polling-based mechanism yourself.
    • PathPermission.MayRead/MayWrite/MayManage have been deprecated in favor of a more-consistent AccessLevel API.
    • In User.ApplyPermissionsAsync, renamed the realmUrl parameter to realmPath.
    • In User.OfferPermissionsAsync, renamed the realmUrl parameter to realmPath.
    • Removed the PermissionOfferResponse and PermissionChange classes.
    • Removed the IPermissionObject interface.
    • Removed the ManagementObjectStatus enum.
    • Removed the User.GetPermissionChanges and User.GetPermissionOfferResponses methods.
    • The millisecondTimeout argument in User.GetGrantedPermissionsAsync has been removed.
    • The PermissionException class has been replaced by HttpException.
  • The AuthenticationException class has been merged into the HttpException class.

Enhancements

  • Added Session.Start() and Session.Stop() methods that allow you to pause/resume synchronization with the Realm Object Server. (Issue #138)

  • Added an IQueryable<T>.Subscribe(SubscriptionOptions, params Expression<Func<T, IQueryable>>[] includedBacklinks) extension method that allows you to configure additional options for the subscription, such as the name, time to live, and whether it should update an existing subscription. The includedBacklinks argument allows you to specify which backlink properties should be included in the transitive closure when doing query-based sync. For example:

    class Dog : RealmObject
{
    public Person Owner { get; set; }
}

class Person : RealmObject
{
    [Backlink(nameof(Dog.Owner))]
    public IQueryable<Dog> Dogs { get; }
}

var options = new SubscriptionOptions
{
    Name = "adults",
    TimeToLive = TimeSpan.FromDays(1),
    ShouldUpdate = true
};

var people = realm.All<Person>()
                  .Where(p => p.Age > 18)
                  .Subscribe(options, p => p.Dogs);

await people.WaitForSynchronzationAsync();
// Dogs that have an owner set to a person that is over 18
// will now be included in the objects synchronized locally.
var firstPersonDogs = people.Results.First().Dogs;

    (Issue #1838 & Issue #1834)

  • Added a Realm.GetAllSubscriptions() extension method that allows you to obtain a collection of all registered query-based sync subscriptions. (Issue #1838)
  • Added AccessLevel property to PathPermission to replace the now deprecated MayRead/MayWrite/MayManage. (Issue #1863)
  • Added RealmOwnerId property to PathPermission that indicates who the owner of the Realm is. (Issue #1863)
  • Added support for building with dotnet build (previously only the msbuild command line was supported). (PR #1849)
  • Improved query performance for unindexed string columns when the query has a long chain of OR conditions. (Core upgrade)
  • Improved performance of encryption and decryption significantly by utilizing hardware optimized encryption functions. (Core upgrade)
  • Compacting a realm into an encrypted file could take a really long time. The process is now optimized by adjusting the write buffer size relative to the used space in the realm. (Core upgrade)
  • The string-based query parser (results.Filter("...")) now supports readable timestamps with a 'T' separator in addition to the originally supported "@" separator. For example: startDate > 1981-11-01T23:59:59:1 (Core upgrade)

Fixed

  • Fixes an issue where using the StringExtensions.Contains(string, string, StringComparison) extension method inside a LINQ query would result in an exception being thrown on .NET Core 2.1+ or Xamarin.iOS/Android projects.(Issue #1848)
  • Creating an object after creating an object with the int primary key of "null" would hit an assertion failure. (Core upgrade)

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.23.1 or later.

Internal

  • Upgraded Sync from 3.14.11 to 4.5.1 and Core 5.12.7 to 5.20.0.

3.4.0 (2019-01-09)

NOTE!!! You will need to upgrade your Realm Object Server to at least version 3.11.0 or use Realm Cloud. If you try to connect to a ROS v3.10.x or previous, you will see an error like Wrong protocol version in Sync HTTP request, client protocol version = 25, server protocol version = 24.

Enhancements

  • Download progress is now reported to the server, even when there are no local changes. This allows the server to do history compaction much more aggressively, especially when there are many clients that rarely or never make local changes. (#1772)
  • Reduce memory usage when integrating synchronized changes sent by ROS.
  • Added ability to supply a custom log function for handling logs emitted by Sync by specifying SyncConfigurationBase.CustomLogger. It must be set before opening a synchronized Realm. (#1824)
  • Clients using protocol 25 now report download progress to the server, even when they make no local changes. This allows the server to do history compaction much more aggressively, especially when there are many clients that rarely or never make local changes. (#1772)
  • Add a User-Agent header to HTTP requests made to the Realm Object Server. By default, this contains information about the Realm library version and .NET platform. Additional details may be provided (such as the application name/version) by setting SyncConfigurationBase.UserAgent prior to opening a synchronized Realm. If developing a Xamarin app, you can use the Xamarin.Essentials plugin to automate that: SyncConfiguration.UserAgent = $"{AppInfo.Name} ({AppInfo.PackageName} {AppInfo.VersionString})".

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that could lead to crashes with a message such as Assertion failed: ndx < size() with (ndx, size()) = [742, 742].
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in an incorrect LogLevel being sent to Sync when setting SyncConfigurationBase.LogLevel. (#1824, since 2.2.0)
  • Fixed a bug that prevented Realm.GetInstanceAsync from working when used with QueryBasedSyncConfiguration. (#1827, since 3.1.0)

Breaking Changes

  • The deprecated method realm.SubscribeToObjectsAsync has been removed in this version. (#1772)
  • User.ConfigurePersistence has been deprecated in favor of SyncConfigurationBase.Initialize.

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later. The sync protocol version has been bumped to version 25. The server is backwards-compatible with clients using protocol version 24 or below, but clients at version 25 are not backwards-compatible with a server at protocol version 24. The server must be upgraded before any clients are upgraded.

Internal

  • Upgraded Sync from 3.9.2 to 3.14.11 and Core from 5.8.0 to 5.12.7.

3.3.0 (2018-11-08)

Enhancements

  • Exposed an OnProgress property on SyncConfigurationBase. It allows you to specify a progress callback that will be invoked when using Realm.GetInstanceAsync to report the download progress. (#1807)

Fixed

  • Trying to call Subscription.WaitForSynchronizationAsync on a background thread (without a SynchronizationContext) would previously hang indefinitely. Now a meaningful exception will be thrown to indicate that this is not supported and this method should be called on a thread with a synchronization context. (dotnet-private#130, since v3.0.0)

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.0.0 or later.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous releases in the 3.x.y series.
  • File format: Generates Realms with format v9 (Reads and upgrades all previous formats)

3.2.1 (2018-09-27)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that would typically result in exceptions with a message like An unknown error has occurred. State: *some-number-larger than 127* when subscribing to queries. (dotnet-private#128, since 3.0.0)

3.2.0 (2018-08-04)

Enhancements

  • RealmObject inheritors will now raise PropertyChanged after they have been removed from Realm. The property name in the event arguments will be IsValid.
  • Bundle some common certificate authorities on Linux so connecting to ROS instances over SSL should work out of the box for most certificates. Notably, it will now work out of the box for Realm Cloud instances.

Bug fixes

  • When constructing queries that compare an invalid/unmanaged RealmObject (e.g. realm.All<Foo>().Where(f => f.Bar == someBar)), a meaningful exception will now be thrown rather than an obscure ArgumentNullException.
  • Added ShouldCompactOnLaunch to the PCL version of the library. (dotnet-private#125)

3.1.0 (2018-07-04)

Enhancements

  • Exposed a ChangeSet.NewModifiedIndices collection that contains information about the indices of the objects that changed in the new version of the collection (i.e. after accounting for the insertions and deletions).
  • Update Fody to 3.0.

Bug fixes

  • WriteAsync will no longer perform a synchronous Refresh on the main thread. (#1729)
  • Trying to add a managed Realm Object to a different instance of the same on-disk Realm will no longer throw an exception.
  • Removed the IList compliance for Realm collections. This fixes an issue which would cause the app to hang on Android when deselecting an item from a ListView bound to a Realm collection.

Breaking Changes

  • SyncConfiguration is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Two new configuration classes have been exposed - QueryBasedSyncConfiguration and FullSyncConfiguration. If you were using a SyncConfiguration with IsPartial = true, then change your code to use QueryBasedSyncConfiguration. Similarly, if IsPartial was not set or was set to false, use FullSyncConfiguration.
  • Removed the IList compliance for Realm collections. This will prevent automatic updates of ListViews databound to Realm collections in UWP projects.

3.0.0 (2018-04-16)

Enhancements

  • Allow [MapTo] to be applied on classes to change the name of the table corresponding to that class. (#1712)
  • Added an improved API for adding subscriptions in partially-synchronized Realms. IQueryable<T>.Subscribe can be used to subscribe to any query, and the returned Subscription<T> object can be used to observe the state of the subscription and ultimately remove the subscription. See the documentation for more information. (#1679)
  • Added a fine-grained permissions system for use with partially-synchronized Realms. This allows permissions to be defined at the level of individual objects or classes. See the documentation for more information. (#1714)
  • Exposed a string-based IQueryable<T>.Filter(predicate) method to enable more advanced querying scenarios such as:
    • Following links: realm.All<Dog>().Filter("Owner.FirstName BEGINSWITH 'J'").
    • Queries on collections: realm.All<Child>().Filter("Parents.FirstName BEGINSWITH 'J'") - find all children who have a parent whose name begins with J or realm.All<Child>().Filter("Parents.@avg.Age > 50") - find all children whose parents' average age is more than 50.
    • Subqueries: realm.All<Person>().Filter("SUBQUERY(Dogs, $dog, $dog.Vaccinated == false).@count > 3") - find all people who have more than 3 unvaccinated dogs.
    • Sorting: realm.All<Dog>().Filter("TRUEPREDICATE SORT(Owner.FirstName ASC, Age DESC)") - find all dogs and sort them by their owner's first name in ascending order, then by the dog's age in descending.
    • Distinct: realm.All<Dog>().Filter("TRUEPREDICATE DISTINCT(Age) SORT(Name)") - find all dogs, sort them by their name and pick one dog for each age value.
    • For more examples, check out the javascript query language docs - the query syntax is identical - or the NSPredicate Cheatsheet.
  • The SyncConfiguration constructor now accepts relative Uris. (#1720)
  • Added the following methods for resetting the user's password and confirming their email: RequestPasswordResetAsync, CompletePasswordResetAsync, RequestEmailConfirmationAsync, and ConfirmEmailAsync. These all apply only to users created via Credentials.UsernamePassword who have provided their email as the username. (#1721)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that could cause deadlocks on Android devices when resolving thread safe references. (#1708)

Breaking Changes

  • Uses the Sync 3.0 client which is incompatible with ROS 2.x.
  • Permission has been renamed to PathPermission to more closely reflect its purpose. Furthermore, existing methods to modify permissions only work on full Realms. New methods and classes are introduced to configure access to a partially synchronized Realm.
  • The type of RealmConfiguration.DefaultConfiguration has changed to RealmConfigurationBase to allow any subclass to be set as default. (#1720)
  • The SyncConfiguration constructor arguments are now optional. The user value will default to the currently logged in user and the serverUri value will default to realm://MY-SERVER-URL/default where MY-SERVER-URL is the host the user authenticated against. (#1720)
  • The serverUrl argument in User.LoginAsync(credentials, serverUrl) and User.GetLoggedInUser(identity, serverUrl) has been renamed to serverUri for consistency. (#1721)

2.2.0 (2017-03-22)

Enhancements

  • Added an IsDynamic property to RealmConfigurationBase, allowing you to open a Realm file and read its schema from disk. (#1637)
  • Added a new InMemoryConfiguration class that allows you to create an in-memory Realm instance. (#1638)
  • Allow setting elements of a list directly - e.g. foo.Bars[2] = new Bar() or foo.Integers[3] = 5. (#1641)
  • Added Json Web Token (JWT) credentials provider. (#1655)
  • Added Anonymous and Nickname credentials providers. (#1671)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where initial collection change notification is not delivered to all subscribers. (#1696)
  • Fixed a corner case where RealmObject.Equals would return true for objects that are no longer managed by Realm. (#1698)

Breaking Changes

  • SyncConfiguration.SetFeatureToken is deprecated and no longer necessary in order to use Sync on Linux or server-side features. (#1703)

2.1.0 (2017-11-13)

Enhancements

  • Added an [Explicit] attribute that can be applied to classes or assemblies. If a class is decorated with it, then it will not be included in the default schema for the Realm (i.e. you have to explicitly set RealmConfiguration.ObjectClasses to an array that contains that class). Similarly, if it is applied to an assembly, all classes in that assembly will be considered explicit. This is useful when developing a 3rd party library that depends on Realm to avoid your internal classes leaking into the user's schema. (#1602)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that would prevent writing queries that check if a related object is null, e.g. realm.All<Dog>().Where(d => d.Owner == null). (#1601)
  • Addressed an issue that would cause the debugger to report an unobserved exception being thrown when "Just My Code" is disabled. (#1603)
  • Calling Realm.DeleteRealm on a synchronized Realm will now properly delete the realm.management folder. (#1621)
  • Fixed a crash when accessing primitive list properties on objects in realms opened with a dynamic schema (e.g. in migrations). (#1629)

2.0.0 (2017-10-17)

Enhancements

  • Added support for collections of primitive values. You can now define properties as IList<T> where T can be any type supported by Realm, except for another IList. As a result, a lot of methods that previously had constraints on RealmObject now accept any type and may throw a runtime exception if used with an unsupported type argument. (#1517)
  • Added HelpLink pointing to the relevant section of the documentation to most Realm exceptions. (#1521)
  • Added RealmObject.GetBacklinks API to dynamically obtain all objects referencing the current one. (#1533)
  • Added a new exception type, PermissionDeniedException, to denote permission denied errors when working with synchronized Realms that exposes a method - DeleteRealmUserInfo - to inform the binding that the offending Realm's files should be kept or deleted immediately. This allows recovering from permission denied errors in a more robust manner. (#1543)
  • The keychain service name used by Realm to manage the encryption keys for sync-related metadata on Apple platforms is now set to the bundle identifier. Keys that were previously stored within the Realm-specific keychain service will be transparently migrated to the per-application keychain service. (#1522)
  • Added a new exception type - IncompatibleSyncedFileException - that allows you to handle and perform data migration from a legacy (1.x) Realm file to the new 2.x format. It can be thrown when using Realm.GetInstance or Realm.GetInstanceAsync and exposes a GetBackupRealmConfig method that allows you to open the old Realm file in a dynamic mode and migrate any required data. (#1552)
  • Enable encryption on Windows. (#1570)
  • Enable Realm compaction on Windows. (#1571)
  • UserInfo has been significantly enhanced. It now contains metadata about a user stored on the Realm Object Server, as well as a list of all user account data associated with that user. (#1573)
  • Introduced a new method - User.LogOutAsync to replace the now-deprecated synchronous call. (#1574)
  • Exposed BacklinksCount property on RealmObject that returns the number of objects that refer to the current object via a to-one or a to-many relationship. (#1578)
  • String primary keys now support null as a value. (#1579)
  • Add preview support for partial synchronization. Partial synchronization allows a synchronized Realm to be opened in such a way that only objects requested by the user are synchronized to the device. You can use it by setting the IsPartial property on a SyncConfiguration, opening the Realm, and then calling Realm.SubscribeToObjectsAsync with the type of object you're interested in, a string containing a query determining which objects you want to subscribe to, and a callback which will report the results. You may add as many subscriptions to a synced Realm as necessary. (#1580)
  • Ensure that Realm collections (IList<T>, IQueryable<T>) will not change when iterating in a foreach loop. (#1589)

Bug fixes

  • Realm.GetInstance will now advance the Realm to the latest version, so you no longer have to call Refresh manually after that. (#1523)
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent iOS Share Extension projects from working. (#1535)

Breaking Changes

  • Realm.CreateObject(string className) now has additional parameter object primaryKey. You must pass that when creating a new object using the dynamic API. If the object you're creating doesn't have primary key declared, pass null. (#1381)
  • AcceptPermissionOfferAsync now returns the relative rather than the absolute url of the Realm the user has been granted permissions to. (#1595)

1.6.0 (2017-08-14)

Enhancements

  • Exposed Realm.WriteCopy API to copy a Realm file and optionally encrypt it with a different key. (#1464)
  • The runtime representations of all Realm collections (IQueryable<T> and IList<T>) now implement the IList interface that is needed for data-binding to ListView in UWP applications. (#1469)
  • Exposed User.RetrieveInfoForUserAsync API to allow admin users to lookup other users' identities in the Realm Object Server. This can be used, for example, to find a user by knowing their Facebook id. (#1486)
  • Added a check to verify there are no duplicate object names when creating the schema. (#1502)
  • Added more comprehensive error messages when passing an invalid url scheme to SyncConfiguration or User.LoginAsync. (#1501)
  • Added more meaningful error information to exceptions thrown by Realm.GetInstanceAsync. (#1503)
  • Added a new type - RealmInteger<T> to expose Realm-specific API over base integral types. It can be used to implement counter functionality in synced realms. (#1466)
  • Added PermissionCondition.Default to apply default permissions for existing and new users. (#1511)

Bug fixes

  • Fix an exception being thrown when comparing non-constant character value in a query. (#1471)
  • Fix an exception being thrown when comparing non-constant byte or short value in a query. (#1472)
  • Fix a bug where calling the non-generic version of IQueryProvider.CreateQuery on Realm's IQueryable results, an exception would be thrown. (#1487)
  • Trying to use an IList or IQueryable property in a LINQ query will now throw NotSupportedException rather than crash the app. (#1505)

Breaking Changes

1.5.0 (2017-06-20)

Enhancements

  • Exposed new API on the User class for working with permissions: (#1361)
    • ApplyPermissionsAsync, OfferPermissionsAsync, and AcceptPermissionOfferAsync allow you to grant, revoke, offer, and accept permissions.
    • GetPermissionOffers, GetPermissionOfferResponses, and GetPermissionChanges allow you to review objects, added via the above mentioned methods.
    • GetGrantedPermissionsAsync allows you to inspect permissions granted to or by the current user.
  • When used with RealmConfiguration (i.e. local Realm), Realm.GetInstanceAsync will perform potentially costly operation, such as executing migrations or compaction on a background thread. (#1406)
  • Expose User.ChangePasswordAsync(userId, password) API to allow admin users to change other users' passwords. (#1412)
  • Expose SyncConfiguration.TrustedCAPath API to allow providing a custom CA that will be used to validate SSL traffic to the Realm Object Server. (#1423)
  • Expose Realm.IsInTransaction API to check if there's an active transaction for that Realm. (#1452)

Bug fixes

  • Fix a crash when querying over properties that have [MapTo] applied. (#1405)
  • Fix an issue where synchronized Realms did not connect to the remote server in certain situations, such as when an application was offline when the Realms were opened but later regained network connectivity. (#1407)
  • Fix an issue where incorrect property name will be passed to RealmObject.PropertyChanged subscribers when the actual changed property is below a Backlink property. (#1433)
  • Fix an exception being thrown when referencing Realm in a PCL test assembly without actually using it. (#1434)
  • Fix a bug when SyncConfiguration.EnableSSLValidation would be ignored when passed to Realm.GetInstanceAsync. (#1423)

Breaking Changes

  • The constructors of PermissionChange, PermissionOffer, and PermissionOfferResponse are now private. Use the new User.ApplyPermissionsAsync, User.OfferPermissionsAsync, and User.AcceptPermissionOfferAsync API. (#1361)
  • User.GetManagementRealm and User.GetPermissionRealm are now deprecated. Use the new permission related API on User to achieve the same results. (#1361)
  • User.ChangePassword(password) has been renamed to User.ChangePasswordAsync(password). (#1412)
  • Removed the following obsolete API: (#1425)
    • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey<T>(long id)
    • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey<T>(string id)
    • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey(string className, long id)
    • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey(string className, string id)
    • Realm.Manage<T>(T obj, bool update)
    • Realm.Close()
    • Realm.CreateObject<T>()
    • IOrderedQueryable<T>.ToNotifyCollectionChanged<T>(Action<Exception> errorCallback)
    • IOrderedQueryable<T>.ToNotifyCollectionChanged<T>(Action<Exception> errorCallback, bool coalesceMultipleChangesIntoReset)
    • IRealmCollection<T>.ObjectSchema
  • Realm.DeleteRealm now throws an exception if called while an instance of that Realm is still open.

1.4.0 (2017-05-19)

Enhancements

  • Expose RealmObject.OnManaged virtual method that can be used for init purposes, since the constructor is run before the object has knowledge of its Realm. (#1383)
  • Expose Realm.GetInstanceAsync API to asynchronously open a synchronized Realm. It will download all remote content available at the time the operation began on a background thread and then return a usable Realm. It is also the only supported way of opening Realms for which the user has only read permissions.

1.3.0 (2017-05-16)

Universal Windows Platform

Introducing Realm Mobile Database for Universal Windows Platform (UWP). With UWP support, you can now build mobile apps using Realm’s object database for the millions of mobile, PC, and Xbox devices powered by Windows 10. The addition of UWP support allows .NET developers to build apps for virtually any modern Windows Platform with Windows Desktop (Win32) or UWP as well as for iOS and Android via Xamarin. Note that sync support is not yet available for UWP, though we are working on it and you can expect it soon.

Enhancements

  • Case insensitive queries against a string property now use a new index based search. (#1380)
  • Add User.ChangePassword API to change the current user's password if using Realm's 'password' authentication provider. Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.4.0 or later. (#1386)
  • SyncConfiguration now has an EnableSSLValidation property (default is true) to allow SSL validation to be specified on a per-server basis. (#1387)
  • Add RealmConfiguration.ShouldCompactOnLaunch callback property when configuring a Realm to determine if it should be compacted before being returned. (#1389)
  • Silence some benign linker warnings on iOS. (#1263)
  • Use reachability API to minimize the reconnection delay if the network connection was lost. (#1380)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where Session.Reconnect would not reconnect all sessions. (#1380)
  • Fixed a crash when subscribing for PropertyChanged multiple times. (#1380)
  • Fixed a crash when reconnecting to Object Server (#1380)
  • Fixed a crash on some Android 7.x devices when opening a realm (#1380)

1.2.1 (2017-05-01)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where EntryPointNotFoundException would be thrown on some Android devices. (#1336)

Enhancements

  • Expose IRealmCollection.IsValid to indicate whether the realm collection is valid to use. (#1344)
  • Update the Fody reference which adds support for building with Mono 5. (#1364)

1.2.0 (2017-04-04)

Realm is now being distributed as a .NET Standard 1.4 library as this is a requirement for supporting UWP. While internally that is a rather big move, applications using it should not be affected. After the upgrade, you'll see a number of new NuGet dependencies being added - those are reference assemblies, already part of mscorlib, so will not affect your application's size or performance. Additionally, we're releasing a new platform specific DataBinding package that contains helper methods that enable two-way databinding scenarios by automatically creating transactions when setting a property.

If you encounter any issues after the upgrade, we recommend clearing the bin and obj folders and restarting Xamarin Studio. If this doesn't help, please file an issue explaining your solution setup and the type of problems you encounter.

Files written with this version cannot be read by earlier versions of Realm. This version is not compatible with versions of the Realm Object Server lower than 1.3.0.

Bug fixes

  • Fixes the RemoveAll(string) overload to work correctly. (#1288)
  • Resolved an issue that would lead to crashes when refreshing the token for an invalid session. (#1289)
  • The IObservable returned from session.GetProgressObservable will correctly call OnComplete when created with mode: ProgressMode.ForCurrentlyOutstandingWork. (#1292)
  • Fixed a memory leak when accessing string properties. (#1318)
  • Fixes an issue when using EncryptionKey with synchronized realms. (#1322)

Enhancements

  • Introduce APIs for safely passing objects between threads. Create a thread-safe reference to a thread-confined object by passing it to the ThreadSafeReference.Create factory method, which you can then safely pass to another thread to resolve in the new realm with Realm.ResolveReference. (#1300)
  • Introduce API for attempting to reconnect all sessions. This could be used in conjunction with the connectivity plugin to monitor for connectivity changes and proactively request reconnecting, rather than rely on the built-in retry mechanism. (#1310)
  • Enable sorting over to-one relationships, e.g. realm.All<Parent>().OrderBy(p => p.Child.Age). (#1313)
  • Introduce a string.Like extension method that can be used in LINQ queries against the underlying database engine. (#1311)
  • Add an User.IsAdmin property that indicates whether a user is a Realm Object Server administrator. (#1320)

Breaking Changes

  • DateTimeOffset properties that are not set will now correctly default to 0001-1-1 instead of 1970-1-1 after the object is passed to realm.Add. (#1293)
  • Attempting to get an item at index that is out of range should now correctly throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException for all IRealmCollection implementations. (#1295)
  • The layout of the .lock file has changed, which may affect scenarios where different processes attempt to write to the same Realm file at the same time. (#1296)
  • PropertyChanged notifications use a new, more reliable, mechanism, that behaves slightly differently from the old one. Notifications will be sent only after a transaction is committed (making it consistent with the way collection notifications are handled). To make sure that your UI is promptly updated, you should avoid keeping long lived transactions around. (#1316)

1.1.1 (2017-03-15)

Bug fixes

  • Resolved an issue that prevented compiling for iOS on Visual Studio. (#1277)

1.1.0 (2017-03-03)

Enhancements

  • Added Azure Active Directory (AzureAD) credentials provider. (#1254)

Breaking Changes

This is a preparation release for adding UWP support. We have removed all platform-specific logic from the Realm assemblies, and instead weave them in compile time. While this has been tested in all common scenarios, it may create issues with very complex project graphs. If you encounter any of these issues with iOS projects:

  • Compilation fails when running Task WeaveRealmAssemblies
  • App crashes when first accessing a Realm

please file an issue and explain your solution setup.

1.0.4 (2017-02-21)

Bug fixes

  • The Realm NuGet package no longer clobbers the path to Win32 native binaries in Realm.Database. (#1239)
  • Fixed a bug where garbage collecting an object with PropertyChanged subscribers would cause crashes. (#1237)

1.0.3 (2017-02-14)

Out of Beta!

After about a year and a half of hard work, we are proud to call this a 1.0 release. There is still work to do, but Realm Xamarin is now being used by thousands of developers and has proven reliable.

Sync

Realm Xamarin now works with the Realm Mobile Platform. This means that you can write Xamarin apps that synchronize seamlessly with a Realm Object Server, allowing you to write complex apps with Xamarin that are offline-first and automatically synchronised by adding just a few lines of code. You can read about this in the documentation.

Windows Desktop

Realm Xamarin is no longer iOS and Android only. You can now use it to write .NET programs for Windows Desktop. Add the NuGet package to your regular .NET project and start using Realm. Some features are not supported on Windows yet. Most notably, sync does not yet work for Windows, but also encryption and notifications across processes are missing. We are working on it and you can expect support soon.

Breaking Changes

  • IRealmCollection<T>.ObjectSchema is deprecated and replaced with ISchemaSource.ObjectSchema. (#1216)

Bug fixes

  • [MapTo] attribute is now respected in queries. (#1219)
  • Letting a Realm instance be garbage collected instead of disposing it will no longer lead to crashes. (#1212)
  • Unsubscribing from RealmObject.PropertyChanged in a PropertyChanged callback should no longer lead to crashes. (#1207)
  • WriteAsync now advances the read transaction so the changes made asynchronously are available immediately in the original thread. (#1192)
  • Queries on backlink properties should no longer produce unexpected results. (#1177)

0.82.1 (2017-01-27)

Bug fixes

  • Addressed an issue where obtaining a Realm instance, reading an object, then obtaining another instance on the same thread would cause the object to become invalid and crash the application upon accessing any of its members.

0.82.0 (2017-01-23)

Breaking Changes

  • Moved all exceptions under the Realms.Exceptions namespace. (#1075)
  • Moved RealmSchema to Realms.Schema namespace. (#1075)
  • Made the ErrorEventArgs constructor internal. (#1075)
  • Made ObjectSchema.Builder and RealmSchema.Builder internal. (#1075)
  • Passing an object that has IList properties to Add(obj, update: true) will no longer merge the lists. Instead, the IList property will contain only the items in the object. (#1040)

Enhancements

  • Added virtual OnPropertyChanged method in RealmObject that you can override to be notified of changes to the current object. (#1047)
  • Added compile time checks that [Required] is applied on correct property types. (#1072)
  • Realm.Add(RealmObject obj) will now return the passed in object, similarly to Realm.Add<T>(T obj). (#1162)
  • Added an extension method for string.Contains that accepts StringComparison argument and can be used in queries. When querying, only StringComparison.Ordinal and StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase can be used. When not used in queries, all values for StringComparison are valid. (#1141)

Bug fixes

  • Adding a standalone object, that has an IList<T> property that has never been accessed, to the Realm will no longer throw a NullReferenceException. (#1040)
  • IList<T> properties will now correctly return IsReadOnly = true when managed by a readonly Realm. (#1070)
  • The weaver should now correctly resolve references in PCL and netstandard assemblies. (#1117)
  • Add some missing methods to the PCL reference assembly. (#1093)
  • Disposed realms will not throw ObjectDisposedException when trying to access their members. Additionally, disposing a realm will not invalidate other instances on the same thread. (#1063)

0.81.0 (2016-12-14)

Breaking Changes

  • The IQueryable<T>.ToNotifyCollectionChanged extension methods that accept parameters are now deprecated. There is a new parameterless one that you should use instead. If you want to handle errors, you can do so by subscribing to the Realm.OnError event. (#938)
  • RealmResults<T> is now marked internal and Realm.All<T>() will instead return IQueryable<T>. We've added a new extension method IQueryable<T>.SubscribeForNotifications(NotificationCallbackDelegate<T>) that allows subscribing for notifications. (#942)
  • Realm.CreateObject<T> has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. (It could cause a dangerous data loss when using the synchronised realms coming soon, if a class has a PrimaryKey). (#998)
  • RealmConfiguration.ReadOnly has been renamed to RealmConfiguration.IsReadOnly and is now a property instead of a field. (#858)
  • Realm.All has been renamed to Realm.GetAll and the former has been obsoleted. (#858)
  • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey has been renamed to Realm.Find and the former has been obsoleted. (#858)
  • Realm.Manage has been renamed to Realm.Add and the former has been obsoleted. (#858)
  • RealmConfiguration.PathToRealm has been renamed to Realm.GetPathToRealm and the former has been obsoleted. (#858)
  • RealmResults.NotificationCallback has been extracted as a non-nested class and has been renamed to NotificationCallbackDelegate. (#858)
  • Realm.Close has been removed in favor of Realm.Dispose. (#858)
  • RealmList<T> is now marked internal. You should use IList<T> to define collection relationships. (#858)

Enhancements

  • In data-binding scenarios, if a setter is invoked by the binding outside of write transaction, we'll create an implicit one and commit it. This enables two-way data bindings without keeping around long-lived transactions. (#901)
  • The Realm schema can now express non-nullable reference type properties with the new [Required] attribute. (#349)
  • Exposed a new Realm.Error event that you can subscribe for to get notified for exceptions that occur outside user code. (#938)
  • The runtime types of the collection, returned from Realm.All and the collection created for IList<T> properties on RealmObject now implement INotifyCollectionChanged so you can pass them for data-binding without any additional casting. (#938, #909)
  • All RealmObjects implement INotifyPropertyChanged. This allows you to pass them directly for data-binding.
  • Added Realm.Compact method that allows you to reclaim the space used by the Realm. (#968)
  • Realm.Add returns the added object. (#931)
  • Support for backlinks aka LinkingObjects. (#219)
  • Added an IList<T>.Move extension method that allows you to reorder elements within the collection. For managed Lists, it calls a native method, so it is slightly more efficient than removing and inserting an item, but more importantly, it will raise the CollectionChanged with NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Move which will result in a nice move animation, rather than a reload of a ListView. (#995)

Bug fixes

  • Subscribing to PropertyChanged on a RealmObject and modifying an instance of the same object on a different thread will now properly raise the event. (#909)
  • Using Insert to insert items at the end of an IList property will no longer throw an exception. (#978)

0.80.0 (2016-10-27)

Breaking Changes

  • This version updates the file format. Older versions will not be able to open files created with this version. (#846)
  • RealmList<T> is now marked as internal. If you were using it anywhere, you should migrate to IList<T>. (#880)

Enhancements

  • iOS Linking all should work - we now add a [Preserve] attribue to all woven members of your RealmObject subclasses so you do not need to manually add [Preserve(allMembers=true)] (#822)
  • Realm.Manage calls are now much faster. You should prefer that to Realm.CreateObject unless you are setting only a few properties, while leaving the rest with default values. (#857)

  • Added bool update argument to Realm.Manage. When update: true is passed, Realm will try to find and update a persisted object with the same PrimaryKey. If an object with the same PrimaryKey is not found, the umnamaged object is added. If the passed in object does not have a PrimaryKey, it will be added. Any related objects will be added or updated depending on whether they have PrimaryKeys. (#871)

    NOTE: cyclic relationships, where object references are not identical, will not be reconciled. E.g. this will work as expected:

    var person = new Person { Name = "Peter", Id = 1 };
person.Dog = new Dog();
person.Dog.Owner = person;

    However this will not - it will set the Person's properties to the ones from the last instance it sees:

    var person = new Person { Name = "Peter", Id = 1 };
person.Dog = new Dog();
person.Dog.Owner = new Person { Id = 1 };

    This is important when deserializing data from json, where you may have multiple instances of object with the same Id, but with different properties.

  • Realm.Manage will no longer throw an exception if a managed object is passed. Instead, it will immediately return. (#871)

  • Added non-generic version of Realm.Manage. (#871)
  • Added support for nullable integer PrimaryKeys. Now you can have long? PrimaryKey property where null is a valid unique value. (#877)
  • Added a weaver warning when applying Realm attributes (e.g. [Indexed] or [PrimaryKey]) on non-persisted properties. (#882)
  • Added support for == and != comparisons to realm objects in LINQ (#896), e.g.: csharp var peter = realm.All<Person>().FirstOrDefault(d => d.Name == "Peter"); var petersDogs = realm.All<Dog>().Where(d => d.Owner == peter);

  • Added support for StartsWith(string, StringComparison), EndsWith(string, StringComparison), and Equals(string, StringComparison) filtering in LINQ. (#893)

    NOTE: Currently only Ordinal and OrdinalIgnoreCase comparisons are supported. Trying to pass in a different one will result in runtime error. If no argument is supplied, Ordinal will be used.

0.78.1 (2016-09-15)

Bug fixes

  • Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey() now returns null if it failed to find an object (#833).
  • Querying anything but persisted properties now throws instead of causing a crash (#251 and #723)

Uses core 1.5.1

0.78.0 (2016-09-09)

Breaking Changes

  • The term ObjectId has been replaced with PrimaryKey in order to align with the other SDKs. This affects the [ObjectId] attribute used to decorate a property.

Enhancements

  • You can retrieve single objects quickly using Realm.ObjectForPrimaryKey() if they have a [PrimaryKey] property specified. (#402)
  • Manual migrations are now supported. You can specify exactly how your data should be migrated when updating your data model. (#545)
  • LINQ searches no longer throw a NotSupportedException if your integer type on the other side of an expression fails to exactly match your property's integer type.
  • Additional LINQ methods now supported: (#802)
    • Last
    • LastOrDefault
    • FirstOrDefault
    • SingleOrDefault
    • ElementAt
    • ElementAtOrDefault

Bug fixes

  • Searching char field types now works. (#708)
  • Now throws a RealmMigrationSchemaNeededException if you have changed a RealmObject subclass declaration and not incremented the SchemaVersion (#518)
  • Fixed a bug where disposing a Transaction would throw an ObjectDisposedException if its Realm was garbage-collected (#779)
  • Corrected the exception being thrown IndexOutOfRangeException to be ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Uses core 1.5.1

0.77.2 (2016-08-11)

Enhancements

  • Setting your Build Verbosity to Detailed or Normal will now display a message for every property woven, which can be useful if you suspect errors with Fody weaving.
  • Better exception messages will helo diagnose EmptySchema problems (#739)
  • Partial evaluation of LINQ expressions means more expressions types are supported as operands in binary expressions (#755)
  • Support for LINQ queries that check for null against string, byte[] and Nullable<T> properties.
  • Support for string.IsNullOrEmpty on persisted properties in LINQ queries.
  • Schema construction has been streamlined to reduce overhead when opening a Realm
  • Schema version numbers now start at 0 rather than UInt64.MaxValue

Bug fixes

  • RealmResults<T> should implement IQueryable.Provider implicitly (#752)
  • Realms that close implicitly will no longer invalidate other instances (#746)

Uses core 1.4.2

0.77.1 (2016-07-25)

Minor Changes

  • Fixed a bug weaving pure PCL projects, released in v0.77.0 (#715)
  • Exception messages caused by using incompatible arguments in LINQ now include the offending argument (#719)
  • PCL projects using ToNotifyCollectionChanged may have crashed due to mismatch between PCL signatures and platform builds.

Uses core 1.4.0

0.77.0 (2016-07-18)

Broken Version - will not build PCL projects

Breaking Changes

  • Sort order change in previous version was reverted.

Major Changes

  • It is now possible to introspect the schema of a Realm. (#645)
  • The Realm class received overloads for Realm.CreateObject and Realm.All that accept string arguments instead of generic parameters, enabling use of the dynamic keyword with objects whose exact type is not known at compile time. (#646)
  • To Many relationships can now be declared with an IList<DestClass> rather than requiring RealmList<DestClass>. This is significantly faster than using RealmList due to caching the list. (Issue #287)
  • Creating standalone objects with lists of related objects is now possible. Passing such an object into Realm.Manage will cause the entire object graph from that object down to become managed.

Minor Changes

  • Fixed a crash on iOS when creating many short-lived realms very rapidly in parallel (Issue #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)
  • Exceptions thrown when creating a Realm no longer leave a leaking handle (Issue #503)

Uses core 1.4.0

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. (Issue #620)

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 (Issue #607)
  • Linker error looking for System.String System.String::Format(System.IFormatProvider,System.String,System.Object) fixed (Issue #591)
  • 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. (Issue #603)
  • Calling .Equals() on standalone objects no longer throws. (Issue #587)

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.
