In the spirit of attempting to make for frequent, incremental releases, the SubSonic team is proud to present SubSonic 2.0.3. Following 2.0.2 by less than three weeks, SubSonic 2.0.3 is primarily a maintenance release, with a few significant enhancements.
What's New and Changed
- The template execution engine has undergone a complete overhaul with an emphasis on optimizing execution performance, with improvements of up to 800%. If you've used 2.0.2 or earlier, you're definitely going to feel the difference.
- Three new provider configuration parameters:
- enableTrace - Allows tracing to be enabled or disabled, addressing certain performance and medium trust issue. Defaults to false.
- fixDatabaseObjectCasing - Allows case transformations on database objects to be enabled or disabled, preserving the original database casing. Default is true.
- additionalNamespaces - An optional comma-separated list of namespaces to be added to using/Imports blocks at the top of generated code.
- The PreUpdate() and PostUpdate() virtual methods in ActiveRecord.Save() have been deprecated and will be removed in the next release. They have been replaced and enhanced with:
- BeforeValidate() - Executes before any record validation is performed.
- BeforeInsert() - Executes before the insert command is generated for new records.
- BeforeUpdate() - Executes before the update command is generated for existing records.
- BeforeCommit() - Executes just prior to execution of INSERT/UPDATE command.
