Release Notes

Here you can find what's new in Gazel. We follow [major].[minor].[patch] version format. It is basically Semantic Versioning , but with a small difference;

• [major]: Starting from v5.x.x, this part will follow major .NET releases without backward compatibility. So if Gazel is on v5.x.x then it is compatible with .NET 5, if it is v6.x.x then it is compatible with .NET 6, and so on.
• [minor]: When there is a new feature or a breaking change on top of an existing major release, it means it is a minor release.
• [patch]: When new release only includes a bugfix or an improvement without a new feature or breaking change, it is only a patch.

v6.4.3

Bugfixes

• There was an error in the queue when deserializing if there was a list in the parameter while consuming the request, this has been fixed.

v6.4.2

Bugfixes

• Reading values from appsettings was causing error when registering a client api, fixed

v6.4.1

Bugfixes

• Client api registration phase order was causing problems, fixed

v6.4.0

Features

• RequestScopeFeature is added to provide more control over managing scopes and scope interceptors for layers
  • IScopeProvider is introduced, which creates a decorated scope with OnDisposing() event
  • IModuleContext introduces WithScope() method, which returns a ScopedOperation object for local service calls
    • e.g. context.WithScope().Do(() => myManager.DoSomething())

Breaking Changes

• MessageQueueFeature is now replaced with MessageQueueLayer and QueuedServiceCallFeature. Its functionality is split beetween layer and feature accordingly
  • MessageQueueLayer provides basic configuration and component registration for RabbitMQ setup
  • QueuedServiceCallFeature registers a manager for publishing and consuming service call messages, sets up message queues per enqueued service, adds an interceptor for enqueueing service requests
  • This change requires below changes in Program.cs;
    • queuedServiceCall: c => c.MessageQueuePerService() should be used on top of messageQueue: c => c.RabbitMq().
    • prefetchCount:, continueIfPublishingEventFails: and disableLogMessageListener: options are now moved to the new queuedServiceCall: feature
    • EnqueueAttribute and message event listener interfaces are now moved to Gazel.QueuedServiceCall namespace
    • AddGazelServiceApplication has now two overloads
      • One without messageQueue: and queuedServiceCall:. To disable message queue, use this one.
      • One with a required messageQueue:, and configurable queuedServiceCall:
• GetServiceInstance extension is moved from ServiceInterceptionContext to ReferenceData
• Using legacy Startup.cs files creates a problem with IMessageQueueConfiguration and RabbitMqManager.StartAsync() execution order, use Program.cs instead.

Improvements

• Queued service calls are now consumed without making any extra internal http requests
• context.Remote calls for queued services now directly publishes message to queue server

Library Upgrades

v6.3.3

Improvements

• RabbitMq multiple host address was not supported, fixed.
• Settings are supporting List<T> usage.

Library Upgrades

v6.3.2

Improvements

• Client Api rendering backward compatibility fixes;
  • Constructor parameter or a property with HiddenInClientApi marked type was causing error, fixed
  • Constructor parameters with different type but a matching name with a property was causing error, fixed
  • Constructor overloads with parameters partially matching all properties was causing error, fixed
  • Operations containing output only parameters or input only return type were not ignored or rendered properly, fixed
  • Robject constructor was not available for input only struct DTOs and causing error with schema generated from a previous version, fixed
  • ToRobject method was not available for output only struct DTOs and causing error with schema generated from a previous version, fixed

v6.3.0

Features

• IApplicationCache is introduced with a default implementation as a singleton that uses ConcurrentDictionary behind the scenes.
  • You can either inject IApplicationCache or access it through IContext.Application property.
  • Similarly IRequestCache is also introduced for the sake of consistency. You can access it from IModuleContext.Request.Cache.
• Official swagger support has finally arrived. Gazel now automatically configures Swashbuckle to render a compatible swagger document. Your ApiApplication instance will redirect to swagger ui by default where you can make calls to your API.
  • You may also add configuration using swaggerOptions, swaggerGenOptions and swaggerUIOptions in restApi: configuration as well as using the new ISwaggerConfiguration interface.
• Cors feature is reintroduced. This time using the standard .AddCors() extension, with configurations forwarded directly to this extension. This is to make sure it is added in the correct order.
• Records are now supported for creating DTOs as an alternative for struct DTOs
• You can now override request id for a remote call
  • e.g. context.Remote.On(this).UseRequestId(myRequestId).Do(() => ...)

Breaking Changes

• Rest api template was ignoring list parameters in service signature, fixed.
  • If you wrote a custom route that matches a service with a list parameter, you will need to change the service signature in your route configuration. (e.g. Parameter signature for List<string> names has changed from String names to List<String> names)
• Type of the Cache property in IModuleContext.Request is changed from ICache to IRequestCache. This change should not cause any issues unless you have a custom implementation of IModuleContext.
• Nullable support for DTO structs resulted in the following breaking changes:
  • Output DTOs are now rendered as struct in generated code for client api
  • Object model of output nullable structs now has data
  • Object model of input nullable structs now has initializer

Improvements

• When queued service request's token became invalid, it was causing error due to failing token validation before its execution. Queued service requests are no longer validated for a second time.
• When caching an async method result, ICache was caching the Task object itself instead of awaiting its result, fixed.
• Auditable attribute now has RequestId property. Empty client request IDs are auto generated if set to RequestIdMode.Optional.
• Rest api was generating list parameter names with List suffix incorrectly, fixed.
• Input structs were marked as OutputData, fixed
• Struct types, which can be used both as input and output DTO, were not rendered properly and caused compiler error when client code was generated, fixed

Bugfixes

  • IRemoteServiceInvoker Invoke methods with object parameters are now obsolete.
• When autocreating database tables for MySQL, precisions for DateTime and Timestamp, length for EncryptedString, precision and scale for Money.Value were set incorrectly, fixed,
