Changes for version 0.000020 - 2026-05-25
- Features:
- Add DBIx::QuickORM->quick(), a DSL-free interface returning a ready ORM/connection.
- quick() gains autorow, row_manager, and auto_types options.
- Add a DuckDB dialect (DBIx::QuickORM::Dialect::DuckDB), auto-selected for DBD::DuckDB.
- Add Type::DateTime, a lazy DateTime type with database-string stringification.
- Add Util::Mask, a lazy object-hiding wrapper that keeps values out of stack traces.
- Add a subquery option to LiteralSource to wrap a full statement as a derived table.
- Use Atomic::Pipe with zstd compression for forked-query IPC.
- Documentation:
- Rebuild the Manual: hub plus QuickStart, Concepts, guides, recipes, features, and a DBIx::Class concept-map page.
- Document the DateTime type and value masking in Manual::Types.
- Complete and annotate the DSL export reference; move examples into the Manual.
- Add inline POD across nearly all modules.
- Internal / cleanup:
- Drop the inlined HashBase and use Object::HashBase directly.
- Make transaction state authoritative from the result; add an exception attribute.
- Resolve links by keyword (table/alias/columns) and drop the broken scalar-ref spec.
- Remove the vestigial, never-implemented schema->DDL generation scaffolding from Dialect.
- Align declared prereqs with actual usage.
- Default do_for_all_dbs test concurrency to 4.
- Exclude dev-only files (old*/, agent_scripts/, AI_DOCS/, *.md) from the build tarball.
- Add [PruneCruft] to dist.ini so build artifacts no longer leak into release tarballs.
- Fixes:
- Fix compare_affinity_values: boolean comparison was inverted; handle both-undef without warnings.
- Fix Link::merge clobbering the created note and aliases of the merged link.
- Fix Row field-hash accessors passing the wrong view method.
- Fix Connection::state_cache_lookup to honor its documented arguments.
- Fix LiteralSource::new: copy the SQL instead of blessing the caller's scalar ref.
- Fix UUID and JSON types to use defined checks instead of truthiness for values.
- Fix Autofill define_autorow to use the saved error instead of $@ directly.
- Quote savepoint names in MySQL and SQLite transaction statements.
- Fix the forked-query child to exit non-zero on error and reap it to avoid zombies.
- Fix STH::Fork::cancel to handle an already-exited child gracefully.
- Fix STH::next to finalize before throwing on too-many-rows.
- Fix STH::Async/STH::Fork result() to use exists instead of truthiness.
- Fix Transaction DESTROY to roll back (not commit) when falling out of scope.
- Fix creds() to validate the builder context before invoking the credential callback.
- Fix Connection update_or_insert and find_or_insert delegating to nonexistent methods.
- Fix Cached::uncache to extract values from the primary-key hashref.
- Fix Cached::uncache and _merge_state to read existing state from the target row.
- Fix PostgreSQL build_tables_from_db to use the current table name after hooks.
- Fix MySQL build_table_keys_from_db and build_indexes_from_db argument handling.
- Fix Table::merge to fall back to the other side's primary key when missing.
- Fix Column affinity() to return after the scalar-ref-type branch.
- Fix not_null to default nullable to 0 when called with no arguments.
- Fix Row::Async::can() and check_sync after the row swaps itself out.
- Fix Iterator to use the READY() constant for its hash key.
- Fix Handle -unknown flag comparison and fork child error exit.
- Fix transaction stack mismatch precedence and undef-safe state comparisons.
- Fix merge_hash_of_objs default params and value dereference.
- Fix _normalize_omit to build a hashref instead of a scalar-context map count.
- Fix Join::Row missing List::Util import; JSON qorm_sql_type reachable die.
- Fix unimport_from to remove exported subs; typo in a Dialect error message.
