Important notes (changes that may break existing code)

======================================================

* Officially now only supporting XE2 and forward. Support for pre XE2

may not be complete.

New stuff

=========

- Added support for RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo, including Linux support

(currently in beta)

  Include new sample simpleinvocation LinuxServer demo.

- Officially now only supporting XE2 and forward. Support for pre XE2

may not be complete.

- Added RemoteLocationsPrimaryPart to

TkbmMWAuthorizationTransportConstraint (default false).

  If set to true, will only compare primary part of

clientidentity.remotelocation.

  Primary part is defined by everything up til the last ':'. In most cases

  that will mean the IP address without the port number.

- Added IkbmMWLogFormatter interface to kbmMWLog.

- Added TkbmMWStandardLogFormatter to kbmMWLog. It contains vastly

improved features for

  controlling the look and layout of the log output. Its the default

used log formatter.

- Added TkbmMWSimpleLogFormatter to kbmMWLog. It outputs a log with only

datetime,

  type (info/warning/error/fatal etc) and log string.

- Added LogFormatter property to IkbmMWLogManager. It can be set to a

custom log formatter.

- Added mwldtRaw log data type and methods LogRaw to IkbmMWLog. It

allows for logging

  bytes or strings without interpretation/reformatting.

- Added global SystemLog instance which will always output to system log

outputs.

  It is used as a fallback in case the regular log system excepts.

- Added support for marshalling/unmarshalling named enum values via the

new kbmMW_Enum

  attribute.

  Its useful when an enum value cant be used as an identifier or its

value should be different

  from its presented name.

- Added ExceptOnUnknownType to TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal. It controls if

to throw an exception

  if an unknown type is accessed or not (default true).

- Added support for marshalling/unmarshalling TDictionary<K,V> types.

- Added support for correctly instantiating classes in unmarshalling

that contains a capacity

  constructor argument.

- Added Run methods to TkbmMWScheduler. It allows for one time run and

forget scheduled async

  code. They are used in the same way as the Schedule methods, but sets

Occurs to mwsoRun.

  The job will be automatically unscheduled after the run.

- Added overloaded DelayInitial(const AInitialDelaySecs:double) to

IkbmMWScheduledEvent.

  It allows for directly giving an initial delay in seconds. It supports

fractional second

  values.

- Added Clear to TkbmMWScheduledEvents (scheduler.Events) to allow for

clearing all scheduled

  events. Running events will be allowed to finish.

- Added GetNameSpaceByURI, DefaultNameSpace, DefaultNameSpaceURI to

TkbmMWDOMXMLNameSpaceList.

- Added SearchRelNodeByID, SearchNodeByID, SearchRelNodeByGivenName,

SearchNodeByGivenName

  to IkbmMWDOMXMLParser.

- Added ExpandNameSpace, GivenName, ChildrenByGivenName, ChildByGivenName,

  CheckChildByGivenName to TkbmMWDOMXMLNode.

- Added CheckNodeByGivenName, NodeByGivenName to TkbmMWXMLNodeList.

- Added missing ADSDBF support to kbmMWReg.

- Added

mwrtoOptionalInsert,mwrtoKeyNotNullInsert,mwrtoOptionalModify,mwrtoKeyNotNullModify,

  mwrtoOptionalDelete,mwrtoKeyNotNullDelete and table modifier flags

  OIM/OMI (optional insert/modify), OID/ODI (optional insert/delete),

  OMD/ODM (optional modify/delete), OI (optional insert),

  OD (optional delete), OM (optional modify),

  KIM/KMI (insert/modify on key not null), KID/KDI (insert/delete on key

not null),

  KMD/KDM (modify(delete on key not null), KI (insert on key not null),

  KM (modify on key not null), KD (delete on key no null)

  to TkbmMWResolverTableOption

  They allow for more finegrained definition on when

insert/update/delete should happen.

  If one of the optional (OIM,OMD,OID,OI,OD,OM) is given, no exception

will be raised for

  the table when an operation did not succeed, and resolving will continue.

  If one of the key (KIM,KMD,KID,KI,KM,KD) is given, record resolve

operation will be skipped

  for the specific record if key is null.

- Added ReadBOM overloaded methods with default TEncoding option to

TkbmMWPlatformMarshal.

- Added overloaded kbmMWTextToString, kbmMWExpectText,

kbmMWStringRightPad, kbmMWStringLeftPad,

  kbmMWGetComputerName functions to kbmMWGlobal.pas.

- Added optional ACallback anonymous function to SendAsyncRequest and

SendAsyncRequestEx in

  kbmMWClient.pas (WIB only).

  It allows for providing an anonymous function that should be called

when an async response

  is returned. The function must follow this type:

    function(Sender:TObject;

TransportStream:IkbmMWCustomTransportStream):boolean;

- Added LOB blob/clob support (user fix) to DOA adapter.

services, which

  can be selected in the service wizard to create smart services. Smart

services

  supports tagging any function to be exported to a smart client or a

REST client

  (TkbmMWCustomHTTPSmartService required).

- Updated transports to support marshalling objects via the transport.

- Added several near lock free features to kbmMWGlobal, including

TkbmMWLockFreeStack,

  more interlocked functions, lock free array GC fixes, optional

TkbmMWREWLock statistics,

  support for TkbmMWMREWLock can switch to TMonitor for reader/writer

fair support.

- Optimized many algorithms like TkbmMWStringBuilder, TkbmMWGenerateGUID,

  TkbmMWGenerateShortGUID and many more to improve performance overall.

for automatically

  locating and registering any service that has the kbmMW_Service

attribute defined.

optional.

- Added LocalSinceEpochMS, UTCSinceEpochMS, Temporenc to TkbmMWDateTime.

Temporenc

  is a very compact binary encoding of a datetime value.

- Added FastSetUTC method to TkbmMWDateTime to threadsafely very fast

setting

  the UTC value of an already defined TkbmMWDateTime record. The record

  MUST be initialized before using FastSetUTC, for example by

dt:=TkbmMWDateTime.Now;

- Added ValueToStream, ValueFromStream, ValueToBytes and ValueFromBytes in

  TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal. Allows for easy marshalling objects to and

from bytes and streams.

- Added ExceptOnUnknownType boolean property to TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal.

  Controls if an exception should be thrown in case a type cant be

marshalled or

- Added new GC and CloseAndGC methods in TkbmMWAMQPChannel to force

getting rid of

  defunct/cached but unused AMQP channels.

- Added IPVersion property to TkbmMWCustomTCPIPIndyClientTransport.

- Split out all lockfree algorithms from kbmMWGlobal to kbmMWLockFree unit

  to make kbmMWGlobal smaller, partly due to internal compiler errors.

- Fixed to default not inlining kbmMWMREWLock methods on 32 bit CPUs due to

  unstable compiler which can result in F2084/C2491 error combinations.

- Moved all lockfree code to new kbmMWLockFree.pas unit.
