8.0.0-beta01

• Migration from v7 to v8
• [Breaking] Replaced (equality-based) Switch/Map with index-based ones.
  • Reason: perf + dozens of (generic) overloads make the methods difficult to use.

7.5.0

• Added overload for TryCreate with validation error.

7.4.0

• Smart enum ctor should ignore abstract properties.
• Fixed analysis of Switch/Map with context.

7.3.0

• Handling of Nullable<T> should be done by System.Text.Json
• Non-generic ValueObjectJsonConverterFactory prioritizes JsonConverterAttribute over its own converter (by default)
• ValueObjectMessageFormatterResolver prioritizes MessagePackFormatterAttribute over its own formatter (by default)

7.2.1

• Removed explicit reference to System.Text.Json
• Dropped support for EF Core 5

7.2.0

• System.Text.Json: String-based keyed value objects (and smart enums) can be used as dictionary keys

7.1.0

• Value object ctor visibility can be changed via ConstructorAccessModifier

7.0.0

• See Migration from v6 to v7
• [BREAKING] Use SmartEnumAttribute<T> instead of IEnum<T>/IValidatableEnum<T>
• [BREAKING] Smart Enums and Value Object are using (custom) ValidationError instead of ValidationResult
  • Use ValueObjectValidationErrorAttribute<TError> to define the type of a custom validation error
• The names of the factory methods Create and TryCreate can be changed.
• Added support for keyless Smart Enums
• [BREAKING] Split ValueObjectAttribute in keyed ValueObjectAttribute<T> and ComplexValueObject
  • Key member is implemented by the source generator by default.
  • Key member generation can be disabled via SkipKeyMember
  • Attribute property KeyPropertyName has been renamed to KeyMemberName
  • Key member can be renamed via attribute-property KeyMemberName
  • Access modifier of the key member can be configured via KeyMemberAccessModifier
  • Key member kind can be configured via KeyMemberKind
  • Key member comparers can be configured via ValueObjectKeyMemberComparerAttribute and ValueObjectKeyMemberEqualityComparerAttribute
  • IEnum<TKey>.KeyEqualityComparer has been replaced by ValueObjectKeyMemberEqualityComparerAttribute
  • default (equality) comparer of string-based keyed value object is OrdinalIgnoreCase (as with Smart Enums)
• Added support for EF Core 8
  • [BREAKING] Renamed extension method AddEnumAndValueObjectConverters to AddValueObjectConverters
• [C# 12] Analyzer prevents the usage of primary constructors with Smart Enums and Value Objects.
• Json converter for complex value object uses converters instead of reader/writer, this is approach is better because it supports custom converters.
• Several performance optimizations

6.5.2

• [SourceGen] Generate Map/Switch if the number of items is less than 1000

6.5.1

• Bugfix: [Source Gen] Use ComputeHashCode for collections
