Release Notes Published

  • Now supports EFCore5.X
    • Added System.Net.IPAddress and System.Net.NetworkInformation.PhysicalAddress to the list of available property types
    • Added ability to specify both default database collation and a collation override at the property level
    • Many-to-many bidirectional associations are now allowed
    • Any property type can now be used as an identity
    • Can now customize backing field names for non-AutoProperty properties
    • Properties with backing fields (i.e., non-AutoProperty properties) can now choose how EF will read/write those values (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/modeling/backing-field).
    • Added support for keyless entity types created by defining queries
    • Added support for keyless entity types coming from database views
  • Enhancements and Fixes
    • Added ability to globally add and remove exposed foreign key properties to all modeled entities (via menu command) (see https://github.com/msawczyn/EFDesigner/issues/223)
    • Added ability to choose to place newly imported model elements on the diagram where they were dropped. Caution: this can be EXTREMELY slow for large imports. (see https://github.com/msawczyn/EFDesigner/issues/225)
    • Added composition and aggregation indicators to association connectors
    • Default code generation type is now the latest version of EFCore (currently, 5.0)
    • Fixed inability to paste enumerations using diagram copy/paste
    • Changing an identity property's type now changes the type of any defined foreign-key properties pointing to that identity property
    • Title text color didn't always change when class/enum fill color changed in the diagram
    • Selecting tabs or spaces for indentation in generated code has been moved to a property on the designer surface.
    • Added ModelRoot.IsEFCore5Plus convenience property. It can be used in custom T4 edits
  • Possibly breaking changes
    • T4 template structure has been changed drastically to simplify managing code generation for the various EF versions. If customized T4 templates have been added to a project, they'll still work, but enhancements will continue to be made only to the new, more object-oriented, T4 structure. Updating the the model's .tt file to use the new template structure is quite simple; details will be in the documentation at https://msawczyn.github.io/EFDesigner/Customizing.html
