DelphiMVCFramework 3.1.1-beryllium-RC3

DelphiMVCFramework 3.1.1-beryllium-RC3

• New! Added SQLGenerator and RQL compiler for PostgreSQL (in addition to MySQL, MariaDB, Firebird and Interbase)
• Improved! Greatly improved support for HATEOAS in renders. Check TRenderSampleController.GetPeople_AsObjectList_HATEOS in renders.dproj sample)

    //Now is really easy to add "_links" property automatically for each collection element while rendering
	  Render<TPerson>(People, True,
		procedure(const Person: TPerson; const Dict: TMVCStringDictionary)
		begin
		  Dict['x-ref'] := '/api/people/' + Person.ID;
		  Dict['x-child-ref'] := '/api/people/' + Person.ID + '/child';
		end);

• Better packages organization (check packages folder)
• New! TMVCActiveRecord.Count method (e.g. TMVCActiveRecord.Count(TCustomer) returns the number of records for the entity mapped by the class TCustomer)
• Change! TMVCACtiveRecord.GetByPK<T> raises an exception if the record is not found
• New! contains clause has been added in the RQL compiler for Firebird and Interbase
• New! TMVCAnalyticsMiddleware to do automatic analytics on the API (generates a CSV file). Based on an idea by Nirav Kaku (https://www.facebook.com/nirav.kaku). Check the sample in \samples\middleware_analytics\
• New! TMVCActiveRecord.DeleteAll deletes all the records from a table
• New! TMVCActiveRecord.DeleteRQL deletes records using an RQL expression as where clause.
• New! Microsoft SQLServer Support in ActiveRecord and RQL (thanks to one of the biggest Delphi based company in Italy which heavily uses DMVCFramework)
• Improved! ActiveRecordShowCase sample is much better now.
• Improved! In case of unhandled exception TMVCEngine is compliant with the default response content-type (usually it did would reply using text/plain).
• Fix! issue184.
• Breaking Change! In MVCActiveRecord attribute MVCPrimaryKey has been removed and merged with MVCTableField, so now TMVCActiveRecordFieldOption is a set of foPrimaryKey, foAutoGenerated, foTransient (check activerecord_showcase.dproj sample).
• Added! New overloads for all the Log* calls. Now it is possibile to call LogD(lMyObject) to get logged lMyObject as JSON.
• Fixed! issue164
• Fixed! issue182
• New Installation procedure! Just open the project group, build all and install the design-time package (which is dmvcframeworkDT)
