What's new in TMS Aurelius 5.18.1.1
Jan 11, 2024
- Fixed : TObjectManager.Replicate not working when one of the id fields of the entity being replicated is an enumeration. Ticket #22366.
- Fixed : List item out of bounds in some cases where deleting an entity which contains a list of detail items that are also supposed to be deleted due to cascading configuration. Ticket #22156.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.17 (Nov 9, 2023)
New in TMS Aurelius 5.16 (Oct 12, 2023)
- Improved : Support for ARM64 macOS and ARM64 iOS Simulator platforms.
- Improved : Small memory optimization when saving blobs, Aurelius is now using less memory to save them.
- Improved : Select projections and fetch eager information now work for many-valued associations. This allows you to improve performance when retrieving lists (many-valued associations), by selecting a subset of the properties to be returned.
- Improved : RegularExpression attribute now accepts a parameter ValidateEmptyStrings. If True, empty strings will not be automatically considered valid and will have to pass the regular expression test.
- Improved : Dictionary associations now provide the Alias property which contains the full prefixed association name. Useful to be used with the FetchEager method. Request #21312.
- Fixed : Cascade was not being applied in polymorphic associations at the second deep level. For example, Parent -> Child -> SubChild. If SubChild is a class hierarchy and might have descendant classes, the cascades were not being applied for SubChild associations that were declared in descendant classes. Thanks to Dr. Holger Flick for reporting.
- Fixed : AureliusDictionaryGenerator demo was not compiling due to using wrong dictionary generator class name. Thanks to Cesar Romero for reporting.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.15 (Jul 4, 2023)
- New : support for {$alias} in SQL conditions (Filter).
- Improved : OnSQLExecuting event now allows you to change the SQL being executed, giving you low-level flexibility to fine tune the generated SQL.
- Improved : IgnoreVersionControl protected property was being ignored. Ticket #20746.
- Fixed : SmartGuid id generator causing duplicated ids on non-Windows platforms. Ticket #20581.
- Fixed : Range check error when trying to import entities from database at design-time.
- Fixed : Automatic aliasing not working when aliased properties were being used in SQL functions like Upper or Lower. Ticket #20589
New in TMS Aurelius 5.14 (Feb 24, 2023)
- New : ItemRequired, ItemMinLength, ItemMaxLength validation attributes allow validate items in lists and arrays.
- Improved : New virtual method TCustomAureliusDataset.AddFieldDefsFromRttiInfo. Ticket #20281.
- Improved : Better error message when a mapped class member does not have RTTI info. Ticket #20318.
- Fixed : Concurrent version control was failing when using cached updates if the same record was being modified two or more times. Ticket #20134.
- Fixed : Calculated fields not being updated after a call to RefreshRecord. Ticket #20132
New in TMS Aurelius 5.11 (Sep 30, 2022)
- New: Associations now can be used in abstract entities.
- Improved: Design-time components were greyed out in component palette if current platform was different than Win32.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.10 (Aug 24, 2022)
- Fixed : Access Violation when using SubCriteria in Aurelius queries (regression). See https://support.tmssoftware.com/t/exception-with-latest-version/18897
New in TMS Aurelius 5.9 (Jul 7, 2022)
- New : You can now use property projections when retrieving regular entities. This will allow you to optimize the queries by limiting the properties to be retrieved for the entities.
- New : Automapping attribute now can receive an engine class that allows customizing automatic naming.
- Fixed : Typo in design-time TAureliusConnection dialog.
- Fixed : TFetchMode.Eager now forces eager loading of many-valued associations as well.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.8 (Mar 1, 2022)
- Improved : BREAKING CHANGE: Range and MinLength validators don't fail anymore if value is empty.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.7 (Feb 3, 2022)
- Improved : When an entity is deleted using Manager.Remove, its cascaded many-valued association lists are also cleared.
- Improved : Now a custom id generator can be defined for composite ids.
- Improved : Most database drivers now implement IDBResultSet3 interface, which provides the FieldCount method.
- Improved : Better error messages for mapping errors, it's now informing the offending entity class.
- Improved : Better error message when trying to use associated entities not belonging to the model.
- Improved : Better error message when trying to use an entity with no Id attribute configured.
- Fixed : Unique key names were being generated in Delphi 11 with different values then previous Delphi versions.
- Fixed : Still range check errors (Integer overflow) was being raised in TAureliusDataset in some situations when the dataset had a high number of fields.
- Fixed : MaxLength validator failing for null string values.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.6 (Feb 3, 2022)
- New : Auto alias mechanism allows querying by associated objects without the need to use CreateAlias.
- New : Aurelius dictionary validator makes sure your dictionary is never out of sync with the real entity classes, ensuring that you safely write queries that won't crash at runtime.
- New : Aurelius dictionary now can be generated in many ways: from existing databases, from existing entity classes in your application, or even from external command-line tool.
- New : Aurelius dictionary allows you to write queries in a much easier and safe way, even with associated objects.
- Improved : Using global filter in a descendant entity class (using an inheritance strategy) is not supported and now an exception is raised if you try to use it.
- Fixed : Very specific error happening when a global filter was applied to an associated object, and such object is a descendant class in a joined-table hierarchy. For example, suppose you are querying for TInvoice entities. Such TInvoice entity has an association Customer of type TSpecificCustomer. Such TSpecificCustomer is part of a joined-table hierarchy and is not the root class, but a descendant one. The bug would happen if there is a global filter declared specifically in TSpecificCustomer class, and such filter is enabled. Aurelius would generate an invalid SQL statement.
- Fixed : Integer overflow when opening TAureliusDataset with too many fields.
New in TMS Aurelius 5.5 (Feb 3, 2022)
New in TMS Aurelius 4.18 (Sep 18, 2020)
- Improved : The way to use internal classes TInsertCommand and TUpdateCommand has been modified.
- Improved : Support for Boolean fields in ElevateDB databases.
- Improved : Overall performance increase, with Aurelius now being up twice faster, specially in insert and update operations.
- Improved : Better handling of transactions when using UIB components. Now UIB driver automatically opens a transaction to perform SQL statements, if no transaction is active.
- Improved : AnyDAC support is deprecated. AnyDAC was the predecessor of FireDAC, and we considered it doesn't make sense anymore to keep supporting it.
- Fixed : TAureliusDataset now returns correct value when reading OldValue property of dataset fields.
- Fixed : Direct Oracle Access driver now works fine with Unicode memo fields (NCLOB).
- Fixed : Access Violation (instead of a better error message) when the Id mapping attribute makes a reference to a class member that doesn't exist.
- Fixed : AbsoluteDB boolean literal regression. Value projections of type boolean, like "Linq.Value(False)" was broken.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.17.2 (Aug 6, 2020)
- Fixed : Regression bug - wrong behavior when the MappedBy parameter of a ManyValuedAssociation attribute references an association which is part of the id of the associated class. For example, in the declaration [ManyValuedAssociation([], [], 'FParent')], the FParent is part of the Id of TChild class. Fixed in 4.17.2, regression introduced in 4.17.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.17 (Aug 4, 2020)
- New : TRecordCountMode.FetchAll option in TAureliusDataset. Allows you to force dataset to load (fetch) all records to retrieve the correct value for RecordCount property.
- Improved : Several internal classes were refactored, bringing an average 10-20% performance increase in database operations (retrieve and update data).
New in TMS Aurelius 4.15 (Jun 5, 2020)
- Fixed : Batch updates using SQLite native driver was not updating field values when parameter was null.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.14 (May 27, 2020)
- New : TObjectManager.CachedCount property. Provides information about how many actions are cached to be applied when ApplyUpdates is called.
- New : Support for Delphi 10.4 Sydney.
- New : Batch Updates mechanism allows inserting, updating or deleting an arbitrary number of database records using a single SQL statement, improving peformance in such cases. TObjectManager now introduces a BatchSize property, which is used in conjunction with cached updates mechanism. When BatchSize is greater than 1, several similar cached actions are merged together in a single SQL statement, improving performance by reducing communication with the database.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.13 (Apr 21, 2020)
- Fixed : Sporadic Assert failure in MSSQL native driver.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.10 (Dec 4, 2019)
- New : Support for Android 64-bit platform (Delphi 10.3.3 Rio).
- Fixed : Using Literal projection with date time values in some databases (like SQL Server) failed in Finish systems and any other language that set the time separator to a character different than ":".
- Fixed : Still an extra fix for the AV/Invalid Pointer Operation issue described in version 4.9.
- Fixed : Setting TAureliusDataset.RecNo had no effect in some situations (not correctly changing the current record).
New in TMS Aurelius 4.9 (Dec 4, 2019)
- New : "Driver" parameter in MSSQL native driver allows to explicitly define which driver to use to connect. By default the most recent installed driver is automatically used, but this feaure is useful for testing purposes, or if you have a specific technical reason to use a specific driver, or an older version.
- Improved : In TAureliusDataset import field definition dialog you can now order the list of available by unit name. Just click the column name in the list view and the list will be ordered, either by unit name or class name.
- Fixed : Sporadic Access Violation or Invalid Pointer Operation when using object manager to retrieve entities that inherit from TInterfacedObject or any other class that implement interface reference counting. The error was more likely to happen when compiling for Win64 platforms. This issue was introduced in TMS Aurelius 4.5. If you are using any version from 4.5 until 4.8 and if your have any Aurelius entity that inherits from TInterfacedObject (or any other class that implement automatic reference counting), it's strongly recommended that you update to 4.9 version or above.
New in TMS Aurelius 4.8 (Dec 4, 2019)
- New : Where attribute allows custom filtering when retrieving entities and many-valued associations. You can now add a Where attribute to an entity class that provides an additional SQL expression to be added to the WHERE clause of SELECT statement used to retrieve the entities. One use case for this is soft delete: you can add an SQL clause like "{Deleted} = 'T", for example. This will prevent such entities to be retrieved if the Deleted field in the database is "T". The Where attribute can also be used in a many-valued association to filter records retrieved in the list. You could have, for example, two TAddress lists, one for valid addresses and another for invalid ones, properly filtering those using the Where attribute.
- New : TAureliusModelEvents component for setting mapping events using a RAD approach. Using events in Aurelius is now easier by using TAureliusModelEvents component. Simply drop it in a form and set the desired event handler(s) using the object inspector. It's as simple as that.
- New : TAureliusManager component for persisting objects using a RAD approach. TAureliusManager component allows an even easier way to persist Aurelius entities. It encapsulates TObjectManager in a RAD way: just drop the component in the form, associate with a TAureliusConnection component and you are ready to go.
- New : TAureliusDataset.ReadOnly property. You can set ReadOnly property of TAureliusDataset to true to easily put the dataset in read-only mode with a single line. This prevent data for being edited in data-aware controls.
- New : TAureliusDBSchema component for updating database schema using a RAD approach. It's now easier than ever to create or update your database structure (tables and fields). Just drop a TAureliusDBSchema component in the form, associate it with a TAureliusConnection component and use one of this methods, like UpdateDatabase. It automatically instantiates and encapsulates the TDatabaseManager class that creates and validates database structure.
- Improved : Design-time field loader form now persists its size and position. When using TAureliusDataset at design-time you can right-click and choose "Load field definitions..." to open a dialog form that allows you to choose a BPL package and load fields from entities. If you position or resize that dialog form, its size and position will be persisted: if you close and reopen the dialog at later time, last size and position will be restored.
- Fixed : SQL error when mapping fields to expressions like field arrays "fieldname[index]". For example, you can now map to Postgres array fields, using a mapping like "[Column('fieldname[1]', [])]".
New in TMS Aurelius 4.7 (Jun 20, 2019)
- Fixed : TAureliusDataset.RecNo property not properly working with filtered dataset.
- Fixed : TAureliusDataset displaying incorrect data when dataset is filtered and some data modification is performed (like record insert or delete).

- Fixed : Entity generator now adds DBTypeWideMemo for field types in database that are explicit unicode memo fields (NText, NVarchar(max), etc.).
- Fixed : Blob fields not marked as "loaded" when read from AureliusDataset, causing a single lazy blob to be retrieved multiple times when navigating through the dataset.
- Fixed : Better handling of memo fields in TAureliusDataset - TBlob unicode memo raw data is now converted to ANSI data if field type is ftMemo.
