kbmmw 5.03 发布

 版本一小数，功能一大步

We are happy to announce v5.03 of our popular middleware for Delphi and C++Builder.

If you like kbmMW, please let others know! Share the word!

We strive hard to ensure kbmMW continues to set the bar for what an n-tier product must be capable of in the real world!

This release is fairly large and brings several new features:

• Automatic database upgrade to match your ORM classes (please test carefully before deploying to production environments containing existing data!)
• New! Template based binary parser for advanced bit fiddling
• New! Detailed metadata extraction and creation on many supported databases, including SQLite, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Interbase, Firebird
• New! Virtual fields and tables in ORM
• New! Thread safe configuration system for easy one style read/write access to configuration files and registry.
• New! Debug visualizers for kbmMWNullable and kbmMWDateTime values.
• New! CHM help files with 24800+ topics.
• + Many many more additions and improvements and bugfixes for reported bugs

5.03.00 Sep 16 2017

Important notes (changes that may break existing code)
======================================================
* Fixed Delphi C++ HPP generator errors related to kbmMWNullable.pas and kbmMWDateTime.pas
The changes needed to fix it for kbmMWNullable.pas unfortunately require
us to default unsupporting assigning of a variant directly to a kbmMWNullable.
However if you are using Delphi ONLY and will never use the C++Builder header files
you can add {$DEFINE KBMMW_DELPHI_ONLY} in kbmMWConfig.inc.
Then you can still assign a variant directly to a kbmMWNullable in Delphi.
The changes in kbmMWDateTime is using overloaded versions of methods
instead of using default value Math.NaN which is translated incorrectly
by the HPP emitter.
* Removed PrependTableName from all metadata classes and thus it may
error with missing property on opening forms/datamodules containing
metadata components. Ignore that specific property missing error and save.

New stuff
=========
– Added support for defining root type for marshalled objects. Array or Object.
– Added support for using nth next best marshalling type if primary is not registered in known types.
– Added log to AutoRegisterServices in kbmMWServer.pas
– Added support for bit values in YAML. A bit value starts with b or B and contains only 0 or 1’s
– Added support for default metadata class for database adapters. It will be used when
no explicit metadata component has been linked to the connection pool.
– Added OnLoginSuccess and OnLoginFail events to TkbmMWAuthorizationManager.
– Added support for understanding bit values in TkbmMWObjectNotation.
– Added Path method to TkbmMWONCustomObject which will take a delimited path and
traverse the tree optionally adding needed objects on the way.
– Added support for custom properties and basic properties in AMQP.
– Added support for Default date/time in TkbmMWDateTime.
– Added Reset method to TkbmMWDateTime, completely clearing its value.
– Added additional constructors to TkbmMWDateTime allowing direct timezone information.
– Added Memory2Binary and a number of BitCount methods to TkbmMWPlatformMarshal.
– Added support for reference counted data in TkbmMWAutoValue.
– Added kbmMWGetApplicationVersionInfoAsString and kbmMWBackupFile global methods to kbmMWGlobal.pas.
– Added support for specifying quote in kbmMWQuoteString and kbmMWUnquoteString.
– Added support for different start and endquote in kbmMWImplode.
– Added kbmMWDigitCount2Multiplier, kbmMWUnsignedDigitCount, kbmMWSignedDigitCount and
kbmMWExplodeFloat to kbmMWGlobal.pas, which determines metadata of a float value.
– Added kbmMWBitStringToInteger and kbmMWIntegerToBitString to kbmMWGlobal.pas
– Added overloaded Get method to TkbmMWSmartClientORM requesting dataset from server,
returned as an object/list, and providing custom arguments.
– Added overloaded RunSQL methods to TkbmMWMemSQL allowing executing SQL directly on
one or more provided TDataset sources.
– Added support for multistatement execution in TkbmMWMemSQL. Statements are separated by semicolon.
– Added support for salting initial string or byte keys in kbmMWCipherHash.pas.
– Added Clone method to TkbmMWCustomDef in kbmMWConnectionPool.pas
– Added support for detecting deleted fields in TkbmMWFieldDefs.
– Added MetaGetDef and MetaRename functions to TkbmMWCustomMetaData.
– Added significant changes to TkbmMWCustomSQLRewriter, including datatype mapping
and rewriting of numerous statement types.
– Added DefaultMetaData and CurrentMetaData properties to TkbmMWCustomConnectionPool to
allow for using kbmMW specified default metadata, alternative specific assigned on.
– Added support for piping outcome of query thru internal SQL statement as postprocessing
in TkbmMWCustomPooledDataset. Syntax: somequery <!PIPE!> somepipestatement
somequery is the query sent to the backend database. The resultset from that
is the piped thri the kbmMW SQL type somepipestatement.
Use constant KBMMW_QUERYPIPE to add pipe statement.
– Added support for mwfdctStrictPrecision and mwfdctStrictSize in TkbmMWFieldDefs.ChangedFields.
Strict indicates values must match exactly.
– Added DeletedFields, DeleteByFieldName and GetByFieldName to TkbmMWFieldDefs.
– Added additional overloaded Rewrite methods to TkbmMWCustomSQLRewriter.
– Added Terminate to TkbmMWScheduledEvent to prematurely terminate ongoing execution.
– Added Delay method to IkbmMWScheduledEvent which can be called at any time
including during execution of the said event to add additional delay to the
coming run’s of the event.
– Added support for multistatements in kbmMWSQLite.pas
– Vastly expanded TkbmMWCustomSQLMetaData.
– Added support for readonly and virtual field attribute in TkbmMW_FieldAttribute (kbmMW_Field)
– Added new TkbmMW_VirtualFieldAttribute (kbmMW_VirtualField) to indicate field
which will show up in resultset but do not exist in datastore.
– Added CreateDBDataset to TkbmMWORM which will generate a TDataset
matching the referenced TkbmMWORMTable.
– Added CompatibleTable, GetUpgradeTableStatements, UpgradeTable to TkbmMWORM which
are used for checking if a class is compatible with the underlying datastore,
and which can either directly upgrade the underlying datastore or suggest
statements to make the upgrade happen. Use with caution on production systems!
– Vastly expanded kbmSQLRewriter.pas to support metadata, indexes, new statements etc.
– Added Reset method to kbmMWNullable to reset its contents.
– Added PrettyChar to TkbmMWCustomLogFormatter to be able to selectively
choose what each byte value should display in the log.
– Added additional Warning, Error and Fatal overloaded methods to TkbmMWLog.
– Added support for property AutoSplitLines in TkbmMWStringsLogManager.
– Added support for providing HTTP related values (mwatURL, mwatHost, mwatUserAgent,
mwatHeader (named item), mwatCookie (named item) as argument in smart services.
– Added support for new kbmMWConfiguration unit which provides access to automatically
load and optionally save configurations to various storages.
Either use Config.As…. methods directly, or specify attribute
[kbmMW_Config(‘path:a.b.c.value, direction:rw’)] on any
property or field in a class.
If the class descends from TkbmMWConfigurableObject, the field/property
will automatically receive the value as defined in the Config object,
when the class is instantiated, and similarly store the value back
to the Config object when the class instance is destroyed.
Classes not descending from TkbmMWConfigurableObject can also
take advantage of the attribute. Just make sure to
call Config.ReadConfig(TValue.From(self)); or Config.WriteConfig(TValue.From(self));
for example in AfterContruction and BeforeDestruction methods of your class.
Also register your class as a kbmMW known class.
– Added support for using kbmMW_Config attribute for arguments in smart services.
– Added new unit kbmMWBinaryParser which can be used for parsing binary data
according to a custom template. Check the blogs on http://www.components4developers.com
for info.
– Added new debug visualizers for kbmMWDateTime, kbmMWNullable,
kbmMWDuration and TkbmMWAutoValue values during debug.
– Added Object Notation based stats (kbmMWONStats) unit for
registering statistics in object notation format, which
hence can be saved and loaded as any of the object notation
streaming formats.
