v4.2.7

4.2.7

• Support for per-entity inheritance in EF7
• Added option to generate nullable indicators
• Added temporal table support for EFCore6 and above. These aren't supported by every database, and you're on your own to know if your database supports them.
• Arrays of native types can now be used as property types in EFCore8+ projects
• Aggregate ("owned") types can now be stored as JSON properties in EFCore7+ projects
• Associations with transient, non-collection objects can be stored as JSON properties in EFCore7+ projects
• Added support for reverse engineering EFCore v8 assemblies
• Fixes issue when generating code for properties that have a default enumeration value. Thanks to @equipatuequipo for the pull request.
• Association classes are back, but only for cases where each side of the many-to-many bidirectional association has a single identity property.
• Removed EFCore2 and EFCore3 parsers. Those EFCore versions have been obsolete for quite a while. If you need to use them, you can still use the 4.2.5 version of the extension.
• Constructors with required-but-transient associations no longer have those associations as parameters. If that constructor is needed, add it to the partial class file.
• Tightened up the concept of transient entities. We're now generating better code for these and the restriction that transient associations must be auto properties has been removed.
• Entities now update their displays immediately when the Persistent flag is changed.

v4.2.6

v4.2.5

4.2.5

• Adds missing XML documentation for public and protected members
• Fixes "No 'Is Identity' setting when adding a new entity property (version 4.2.44)" (see #63)
• Fixes "Bad intersection table generation when M:M tables have the same primary key name" (see #64)
• Fixes "Table names are pluralized even when flag set to false" (see #65)

v4.2.4

• Reduced model load time by 98%
• Exposed "Collapse Selected Elements" context menu choice for diagrams
• Fixed colors in saved diagram images (see #62)

v4.2.3

• Added HierarchyId as a property type
• Added optional index name for indexed properties
• Added properties to bidirectional associations allowing custom naming of FK columns in join table
• New example code for EF6 and EFCore. Thanks to David V for the pull request.
• Class, property, enum and enum value names are now escaped if they match a reserved C# keyword
• Ensured that a foreign key property's IsForeignKeyFor value is reset when the association is removed and that property is an Id property. (see #47)
• Replaced legacy EF6Designer.ttinclude and EFCoreDesigner.ttinclude files for legacy model file backward compatability. (see #45)
• Assembly import is a bit smarter now in detecting and using indexes and views
• New glyphs in diagram and explorer to show transient and view entities
• Fix bad constructor generation when multiple associations exist between the same classes (see #50)
• Removed modeling restriction on unidirectional many-to-many properties in EFCore7+ projects (see #54)
• Updated file sync logic for generated files. Thanks to Sancho-Lee for the pull request. (see #57)
• Fix bad code re: key fields in derived types. (see #55)
