0.24.0

Added

• Support for Xcode 12.
• Support for Swift Package Manager in Xcode 11 and Xcode 12

Changed

• Requires iOS 9 and higher to support Xcode 12
• EKSerializer now uses serializeCollection:withRelationship: method under the hood instead of serializeCollection:withMapping: to support custom serialization resolvers for collection of objects (thanks, @armandzwan)

Deprecated

• EKSerializer.serializeCollection:withMapping in favor of EKSerializer.serializeCollection:withRelationship. This allows to support custom serialization resolvers when serializing collections. Similar deprecation applied to serializeCollection:withMapping:fromContext:.

0.23.0

Changed

• Has many relationships now correctly recognize nested custom mappings during serialization (thanks, @armandzwan)

0.22.1

• Added support for recognizing structs as native types, for example CLLocationCoordinate2D - #168(thanks, @sebastianludwig)

0.22.0

• Removed too strict generic constraints from EKMapper and EKManagedObjectMapper classes.

0.21.2

• EKSerializer no longer implies that serializable objects need to conform to EKMappingProtocol or EKManagedMappingProtocol.

0.21.1

• Fixed a bug in EKSerializer that prevented has one relationships from being properly serialized with non-nested keypaths.

0.21.0

• Fixed potential buffer overflow when using scalar Objective-C properties(#155, #156).
• Added support for installation using Carthage and Swift Package Manager.
• ignoreMissingFields property now properly differentiates between a truly missing from JSON field and field, that contains null, which is turned into NSNull.null instance by NSJSONSerialization.
• mapKeyPath:toPoperty:withDateFormatter method now creates blocks, that return nil instead of NSNull if received value is not a NSString or NSDate. NSNull instance however is left untouched.

0.20.1

• Added ability to ignore field during serialization - #148(thanks, @vladimirbebeshko)
• Improved types of arrays - #145(thanks, @Uncommon)
• EKRelationshipMapping has been made public for iOS target - #147(thanks, @dvs15)
• Fixed Xcode 8.3 warning in imports.

0.20.0

This release requires iOS 8 / macOS 10.9 / tvOS 9.0 / watchOS 2.0 and higher.

New

• API was annotated with lightweight Objective-c generics and nullability annotations to be better imported in Swift.
• All relationship mappings, like hasOne:forKeyPath:, now return EKRelationshipMapping instead of void, and allow mapping customization via condition property.
• It's now possible to switch mappings based on passed representation, like so:

EKRelationshipMapping * relationship = [mapping hasMany:Dog.class forKeyPath:@"animals" forProperty:@"pets"];
relationship.mappingResolver = ^EKObjectMapping *(id representation){
    if ([representation[@"type"] isEqualToString:@"dog"]) {
        return [Dog objectMapping];
    } else {
        return [Wolf objectMapping];
    }
};

Breaking API changes

• EKObjectMapping hasOneMappings and hasManyMappings are now arrays instead of being dictionaries.
• EKRelationshipMapping now has mappingResolver and serializationResolver properties instead of objectClass property of EKMappingProtocol type
• NSDateFormatter extension with ek_dateFormatterForCurrentThread is removed.

0.18.1

Fixed

• Crash, that happened when EKCoreDataImporter tried to import Swift NSManagedObject subclass, that did not have primaryKeyMapping, which led to calling valueForKeyPath method with nil.
