Updates in Version 8.0.0-rc.1<\/span><\/h2>\n
Microsoft.OData.Core<\/code><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
ODataUtf8JsonWriter<\/code> the default JSON writer implementation to enhance serialization performance. Benchmarks and feedback from some OData users have shown that ODataUtf8JsonWriter<\/code> offers better performance and memory efficiency compared to the current default JsonWriter<\/code>.<\/li>\nODataLibraryCompatibility<\/code> enum into a flags enum, where each bit represents a different compatibility setting that can enable some legacy serialization behavior.<\/li>\nODataError<\/code>, ODataErrorDetail<\/code> and ODataInnerError<\/code> classes.\n\n
ErrorCode<\/code> property updated to Code<\/code><\/li>\nODataInnerError<\/code> changed to ODataInnerError(new Dictionary<string, ODataValue>())<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nODataResource.Properties<\/code> property type was changed to IEnumerable<ODataPropertyInfo><\/code> to facilitate metadata reading or writing, even in scenarios where the property lacks a value.<\/li>\nScale<\/code> attribute in XML CSDL, use variable<\/code> in lowercase instead of Variable<\/code>. An enum flag, UseLegacyVariableCasing<\/code>, was added to support the legacy behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMicrosoft.OData.Edm<\/code><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
UsesDefault<\/code> property to IEdmVocabularyAnnotation<\/code> to support creating vocabulary annotations without explicit values but with default values. These default values are not written to the CSDL but can be read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMicrosoft.OData.Client<\/code><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
IBaseEntityType.Context<\/code> to DataServiceContext<\/code> to avoid naming conflicts that cause compilation or runtime errors when Context<\/code> is used as a property name in customer schemas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
