Changes for version 0.08242-TRIAL (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • New Features / Changes
    • Prefetch with limit on right-side ordered resultsets now works correctly (via aggregated grouping)
    • Changing the result_class of a ResultSet in progress is now explicitly forbidden. The behavior was undefined before, and would result in wildly differing outcomes depending on $rs attributes.
    • Scale back validation of the 'as' attribute - in the field there are legitimate-ish uses of a inflating into an apparently invalid relationship graph
    • Warn in case of iterative collapse being upgraded to an eager cursor slurp
    • No longer order the insides of a complex prefetch subquery, unless required to satisfy a limit
  • Fixes
    • Properly consider unselected order_by criteria during complex subqueried prefetch
    • Properly support "MySQL-style" left-side group_by with prefetch
    • Fix $grouped_rs->get_column($col)->func($func) producing incorrect SQL (RT#81127)

Changes for version 0.08241-TRIAL (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • New Features / Changes
    • Revert to passing the original (pre-0.08240) arguments to inflate_result() and remove the warning about ResultClass inheritance.
    • Optimize the generated rowparsers even more - no user-visible changes.
    • Emit a warning on incorrect use of nullable columns within a primary key

Changes for version 0.08240-TRIAL (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • New Features / Changes
    • Rewrite from scratch the result constructor codepath - many bugfixes and performance improvements (the current codebase is now capable of outperforming both DBIx::DataModel and Rose::DB::Object on some workloads). Some notable benefits:
      • Multiple has_many prefetch
      • Partial prefetch - you now can select only columns you are interested in, while preserving the collapse functionality (collapse is now exposed as a first-class API attribute)
      • Prefetch of resultsets with arbitrary order (RT#54949, RT#74024, RT#74584)
      • Prefetch no longer inserts right-side table order_by clauses (massively helps the deficient MySQL optimizer)
    • Massively optimize codepath around ->cursor(), over 10x speedup on some iterating workloads.
  • Fixes
    • Fix open cursors silently resetting when inherited across a fork or a thread
    • Fix duplicated selected columns when calling 'count' when a same aggregate function is used more than once in a 'having' clause (RT#83305)
  • Misc
    • Fixup our distbuilding process to stop creating world-writable tarball contents (implicitly fixes RT#83084)
    • Added strict and warnings tests for all lib and test files
