    Changelog

    March 2021

    Added

    • [cds-dk@4.0.0] cds watch is now a live reload server, allowing for automatic page refreshes in browsers whenever a file has changed.
    • [vscode-cds@4.0.0] semantic highlighting - to be enabled via user setting cds.semanticHighlighting.enabled
    • [vscode-cds@4.0.0] new API for annotation handler to support semantic highlighting
    • [vscode-cds@3.4.0] preliminary support for cds-compiler 2.x
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] Inferred sub elements of a referred structure type can be individually annotated.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] All primitive types except for binary are now allowed as enum value types.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] Allow users to define A.B even if there is a definition A, which is not a context or service.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] You can now provide almost all annotation assignments without delimited identifiers: the use of ., @, and # is fine for annotation names, property names of structures, and in references used as annotation values.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] for.odata:
      • All the artifacts that have localized fields get a $localized: true property.
      • Allow the user to define draft actions for annotation purposes
        • draftPrepare(SideEffectsQualifier: String) returns <ET>,
        • draftActivate() returns <ET>,
        • draftEdit(PreserveChanges: Boolean) returns <ET>
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.edm(x):
      • Warn about nonapplicable annotations.
      • Render property default values (only OData V4).
      • Option odataProxies exposes association targets outside of the current service. These EntityTypes do only expose their primary keys have no accompanying EntitySet. The added navigation targets are exposed under their namespace or if not available under namespace root. odataProxies is only available with --format=structured.
      • Option odataXServiceRefs renders an edm:Reference to the service for those navigation targets that are defined in another service. odataXServiceRefs is only available with --format=structured.
      • Duplicate EntityContainer entries with same name will raise an error.
      • array of elements are now allowed for OData V2, too.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.sql/hdi/hdbcds: Explicitly render the implicit alias for functions without arguments, e.g. current_date.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.sql:
      • Sort the SQL statements according to the deployment order.
      • New sql dialect plain, which now is the default. synchronously.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] API:
      • compileSync() is now compatible to compile(): the function can also receive a file cache and will resolve all usings
      • New API functions parse.cql (prefer it to deprecated parseToCqn) and parse.expr (prefer it to deprecated parseToExpr)
      • function getArtifactCdsPersistenceName now accepts a CSN as a third parameter (used to be a namespace). With a CSN provided, the name can be correctly constructed for naming modes quoted and hdbcds. Without a CSN, the name is possibly wrong if it contains dots. If the CSN is not provided or the third parameter is not a CSN, the old, deprecated, implementation is used.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] cdsc and other client tools:
      • Added --with-localized to the command toCsn, which adds convenience views for localized entities to the output.
      • A script bin/cds_update_identifiers.js was added. You can use it to update the delimited identifier style in your CDS sources.
      • A script bin/cdscv2m.js was added. It’s command ria adds @cds.redirection.target: false annotate statements for all ambiguous redirection errors.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] Added deprecated options; setting any of them disables all beta options.
    • [cds@5.0.2] Ensure correlation ID and set intermediate cds.context in default server.js
    • [cds@5.0.1] cds.load.properties and cds.parse.properties to load and parse content in .properties format
    • [cds@5.0.1] cds.load.csv and cds.parse.csv to load and parse csv content
    • [cds@5.0.1] CDL, CQL, and CXL as new global methods for tagged template strings generating CSN, CQN, or CXN objects
    • [cds@5.0.1] Fluent API classes provided through cds.ql also support tagged template strings now in these methods: SELECT, SELECT.from, SELECT.where, UPDATE, UPDATE.with, UPDATE.where, INSERT.into, DELETE.from, DELETE.where Example: 
      let Authors = SELECT `ID` .from `Authors` .where `name like ${'%Brontë%'}`
let Books = SELECT `ID,title` .from `Books` .where `author_ID in ${Authors}`
await
    • [cds@5.0.0] MTX APIs are now automatically served when cds.requires.multitenancy exists. This renders an application-level server start script for multitenancy unnecessary.
    • [cds@5.0.0] Auto-connect to a live reload server started by cds watch.
    • [cds@5.0.0] cds.parse now offers tagged template strings. For example, const {CDL,CQL,CXL} = cds.parse; CQLSELECT from Books where stock > 111.
    • [cds@5.0.0] cds.log now supports config options for Loggers and log levels via cds.env.log.
    • [cds@5.0.0] cds.entity.draft as a stable way to read from draft data
    • [cds@5.0.0] cds.linked now correctly links, events, action params and results, which were not linked before
    • [cds@5.0.0] cds.env.features.skip_unused = 'all' removes all definitions from CSN, which are not reachable by defined services. Especially, when using comprehensive reuse models, like One Domain Model, this significantly reduces both, memory consumption as well as excess tables and views in databases.
    • [cds.java@1.15.0] The method throwIfError() has been added to the Messages interface. You can use this method to throw a ServiceException based on the error messages collected in the Messages container. With this API, you can avoid duplicating errors or to define a general top-level error message.
    • [cds.java@1.15.0] OData V2 and V4 adapters now support entity names that contain a dot in their CDS definition, for example Books.texts.
    • [cds.java@1.15.0] Direct modifications on primitive properties using PUT or DELETE are now supported in OData V4, for example PUT /Books(4711)/title.

This is helpful for the Template strings of UI.ConnectedFields.
    • [cds@5.0.0] CDS drops compiler v2 support for classic CAP Java runtime projects. cds build returns an error if compiler version 2 is used. For further details regarding migration to CAP Java SDK runtime, see https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/java/migration.
    • [cds@5.0.0] req.timestamp is a Date object now; was a UNIX epoch integer before, i.e., Date.now()
    • [cds.java@1.15.0] Added the new interface CqnService, which will gradually replace CdsService. The benefits of the new interface will be that it avoids name clashes with CdsService from the Reflection API and captures the intent of the interface better.

    • [cds.java@1.15.0] The cds-services-archetype doesn’t set a Node.js version in pom.xml anymore, which means that the default version provided by the cds-maven-plugin is used. If required it is still possible to set the Node.js version property in a project.
    • [cds-runtime@3.0.2] Minimum required Node.js version is now 12. Support for Node.js v10 is dropped.
    • [cds-runtime@3.0.2] Draft handlers registered via cds.ApplicationService.registerFioriHandlers(), which gets called in cds.ApplicationService.init()

    • [cds-runtime@3.0.0] Deprecate @Search.defaultSearchElement annotation in favor of the @cds.search annotation
    • [cds-runtime@3.0.0] Ignore not null annotation on nested structured types in OData x4 flavor (cds.env.odata.flavor = x4) if its parent structure is optional
    • [cds-runtime@3.0.0] Smart quoting based on database-specific keywords exported by @sap/cds-compiler
      • Deactivate during two-month grace period via compatible feature flag cds.env.features.compiler_keywords = false

      • Do not dump with sub queries in the on condition of joins.
      • Properly report that managed aspect composition inside types and as sub elements are not supported yet.
      • Make sure that including elements with managed aspect compositions only use the provided target aspect, but not the generated target entity.

    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.edm(x):
      • Return all warnings to the user.
      • Don’t render references and annotations for unexposed associations.
      • Rendering of @Validation.AllowedValue for elements of type enum annotated with @assert.range:

      • Fix a bug in constraint calculation if principal has no primary keys.
      • Illegal OData identifiers, which are not exposed in the generated edmx schema are not causing errors anymore.
      • Improve non-enum value handling on term definitions based on an enum type by raising a warning and rendering the value with appropriate scalar EDM type.

    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.sql/hdi/hdbcds:
      • Reject structured view parameters for SAP HANA.
      • Types are not rendered anymore for SAP HANA in quoted mode.
      • Structured elements in subqueries are now properly expanded.
      • Actions, functions, annotations, and events do not have database specific checks run on them, as they will not be part of the resulting artifacts anyways
      • With --names=quoted or hdbcds, some . in artifact names are turned into _. In general, this happens when part of the name prefix is “shadowed” by a non-context/service; any . after that point is turned into _. This change also affects the filenames and the @cds.persistence.name annotation in the CSN returned by to.hdi.migration and for.odata.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.sql/hdi:
      • Fixed a bug, which led to an exception if elements were referenced as types.

    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.sql:
      • SRID of SAP HANA spatial type (ST_POINT & ST_GEOMETRY) is not rendered as the length of CHAR for SQL-dialects other than hana. The resulting CHAR has a default length of 2,000.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.hdbcds:
      • Nullability constraints on view parameters are not rendered anymore.
      • CDS and SAP HANA CDS types inside cast expressions are mapped to their SQL-counterparts, as the CDS types can’t be used in a cast.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.cdl: Correctly render event typed as projection.
    • [cds-compiler@2.1.0] to.hdi.migration: Don’t generate ALTER for type change from association to composition or vice versa (if the rest stays the same), as the resulting SQL is identical.
    • [cds-compiler@1.50.4] to.hdbcds: CDS and SAP HANA CDS types inside cast expressions are mapped to their SQL-counterparts, as the CDS types can’t be used in a cast.
    • [cds-compiler@1.50.2] Correct calculation of dependent autoexposed entity name (fixing a potential regression with v1.50.0)

    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] find references for annotation plugins
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] revalidates workspace after an initial annotation plugin installation
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.hdi/sql:
      • Updated the list of reserved keywords for SAP HANA and SQLite
      • Use “smart quoting” for naming mode “plain” - automatically quote reserved keywords
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.hdi.migration:
      • Supports various kinds of entity changes: entity addition/deletion/change (the latter including element additions/deletions/type changes).
      • Provides option to render any element type change as ALTER TABLE DROP to prevent deployment issues due to incompatible data (default for length reductions or association/composition changes).
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.cdl: Smart artifact references are now rendered explicitly via : notation
    • [cds@4.5.0] cds.server provides an option to switch off automatically generated index.html served at /: Do that in a custom server.js: 
      const cds = require('@sap/cds')
// ...
module.exports = (o) => cds.server({ ...o, index:false })
    • [cds@4.5.0] The default index.html now honors the system’s setting for dark mode.
    • [cds@4.5.0] Former package @sap/cds-reflect is now embedded in @sap/cds
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The serve configuration of application services now allows to explicitly configure which services are served by which protocol and even allows to use different service paths for different protocols. This is enabled by the new annotations @protocols and @endpoints, which adds to the already existing @path annotation. The same can now also be configured in configuration files in the cds.application.services.<key>.serve section.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Added a new artifact cds-feature-k8s, which implements service binding support for Kubernetes & Kyma. By default service bindings are expected as secrets under /etc/secrets/sapcp/<service name>/<service instance name>, using key-value based secrets files. Additional service bindings with arbitrary secrets paths can be specified under the cds.environment.k8s.serviceBindings property.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] OData V2/V4 PATCH or PUT requests now put key values from the URL into the data map. This ensures that keys are immutable and makes key values available directly in POJO arguments of event handlers.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] OData V2 now provides __deferred links for unexpanded navigation properties.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] OData V2 now supports reading parameterized views.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Added the possibility to create and configure remote services. Going forward, these services are used to represent local CQN-based service clients to remote OData APIs. They can be configured by using the property cds.remote.services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] CQN Selects on remote OData services now support inline count.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Pseudo variables like $user.locale are now handled in CQN statements to remote OData services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] CQN statements using byId() can now be executed on remote OData services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] CQN statements using contains are now using substringof when executing them against remote OData V2 services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] CQN statements using parameters can now be executed on remote OData services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] CQN statements using batched updates or batched deletes can now be executed on remote OData services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Batched or parameterized CQN statements that result in multiple OData requests are now executed as a $batch request on remote OData services. All those requests are combined into a single changeset to ensure atomicity.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Action and function calls can now be executed on remote OData services.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Added a first draft of an Outbox Service API.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Simplified the $batch access log line to omit host, port and service path, which is the same in every request of the batch.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Added a new API to retrieve authentication information, for example the JWT token of the current user. It can be accessed from the CdsRuntime using getProvidedAuthenticationInfo. The new API replaces the former internal AuthenticatedUserClaimProvider.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The cds-services-archetype now supports the creation of new CAP Java projects with OData V2 support. Add command line argument -DodataVersion=v2 to choose OData V2 support.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The goal addIntegrationTest of the cds-maven-plugin automatically detects the OData version of the CAP Java project and adds the corresponding integration test class.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The goal install-cdsdk of the cds-maven-plugin provides a new command line argument cds.install-cdsdk.force=true to force a new installation of @sap/cds-dk.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The goal cds of the cds-maven-plugin validates the version of the installed @sap/cds-dk against a minimum required version. If the required version isn’t fulfilled the build fails.
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Add CDS Data Processor API (beta) to validate, convert, and generate CDS data
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Add Indexed parameters as replacement for deprecated positional parameters
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Add @cds.java.name annotation to define custom names for elements when generating Java interfaces
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Add UniqueConstraintException
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Add NotNullConstraintException
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Reflection API: Support for Events referencing other Events, Entities, and Structured Types

    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Support for filter on null values in service consumption
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Server-side pagination for REST services
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Input validation for typed parameters of actions/functions
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Format assertion exception for UUIDs in MTX’s ProvisioningService.tenant (old SAP Cloud Platform subaccount IDs aren’t UUIDs)
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Draft scenario all active is extended
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Skip integrity checks via:
      • @assert.integrity: false on entity and service level (was only on association level)
      • cds.env.features.assert_integrity = false as global config (private cds.runtime.skipIntegrity will be removed)
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Skip SAP HANA’s localization feature (WITH PARAMETERS ('LOCALE' = '<locale>')) via cds.env.features.with_parameters = false
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Deprecation warning for req.run
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] finds references for annotations

      Changed

    • [cds-dk@3.4.0] cds init uses latest Maven Java archetype version 1.12.1 for creating Java projects.
    • [cds-dk@3.4.0] cds init allows _ in project name and leaves conversion to Maven Java archetype.
    • [cds-dk@3.4.0] cds init --add notebook and cds add notebook now use a Python venv and offer a default Jupyter Notebook viewer.
    • [cds-dk@3.4.0] Multitarget Node.js applications can now be initialized with multitenancy support by running cds init --add mta,mtx. (beta)
    • [cds-dk@3.3.5] Bump versions of @sap/cds
    • [cds-dk@3.3.4] Bump versions of @sap/cds and axios
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] extension is now called SAP CDS language support
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] uses axios@0.21.1
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] uses @sap/cds-lsp@4.3.0 (see corresponding changelog for details)
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] uses @sap/cds-compiler@1.49.0
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] new user options for where-used requests
      until now this functionality was enabled by default and now needs to be enabled via user options:
      • generic annotations - where a certain annotation ‘class’ or ‘namespace’ is used
      • strings literals - where same string literals are used
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] new user options for where-used request
      until now this functionality was enabled by default and now needs to be enabled via user options
      • generic annotations - where a certain annotation ‘class’ or ‘namespace’ is used
      • strings literals - where same string literals are used
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] consumes cds-compiler 1.49.0
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] compatibility with early versions of cds-compiler 2.x
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] simplified consumption of CDS textmate grammar for Jetbrain IDEs
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] OData/EDMX: Change the EntityType precedence of the OData term definition AppliesTo= attribute. If AppliesTo contains both EntityType and EntitySet, the annotation was assigned to the entity type. Extending an AppliesTo=[EntitySet] with EntityType would be OData compliant but incompatible for clients, which still expect the annotation at the set and don’t perform the full lookup. With this change, EntitySet and EntityType are treated individually, effectively annotating the type and (if available) the set. This fixes both extendability and client behavior.
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.hdbcds/hdi/sql: Reject using associations or compositions in query elements starting with $self or $projection.
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] OData: Update vocabularies ‘Common’, ‘PersonalData’, ‘UI’.
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] Update vocabularies ‘Aggregation’, ‘Common’
    • [cds@4.5.0] SAP Fiori preview is now disabled if NODE_ENV is production, to avoid any runtime overhead there. You can enable it with configuration cds.features.fiori_preview: true.
    • [cds@4.4.10] cds build for SAP HANA now only filters CSV files if it’s needed, for example, if they contain comment lines.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Entities annotated with @cds.autoexpose are now read-only, if they’re auto-exposed by the CDS compiler (@cds.autoexposed), regardless if they’re accessed directly or through a path navigation. Composition children of such entities inherit the read-only attributes of their parents now. This ensures that auto-exposed value helps (and, for example, their localized texts) are protected from write operations.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Composition child entities (@cds.autoexposed, but not @cds.autoexpose) are now forbidden as the root of a path, regardless if they’re also the target of the path or not. They should always be accessed through a path navigation starting from their parent entity. Draft-enabled entities continue to be an exception to this rule.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The DraftAdministrativeData structure is only created once for a single draft document (root draft entity with all of its composition children). Earlier a dedicated DraftAdministrativeData structure was created for each entity in the draft document. This fixes issues where the user, who changed the draft last, or the last changed timestamp weren’t consistent across the draft document.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Temporal timestamps from sap-valid-at, sap-valid-from, and sap-valid-to query parameters are now truncated to microseconds, as this is the general granularity of timestamps in CDS.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] The error messages for Constraint Violation errors have been improved, by distinguishing not null constraint violations from unique constraint violations. With that the previous general error code 409001 (CONSTRAINT_VIOLATED) has been deprecated and is replaced by the more specific error codes 409003 (VALUE_REQUIRED) and 409006 (UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATED).
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Renamed send methods in MessagingService to emit to avoid confusions with function names in Node.js.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Renamed property cds.datasource.serviceName to cds.datasource.binding (previous name is deprecated, but still available)
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Renamed property cds.security.xsuaa.serviceName to cds.security.xsuaa.binding (previous name is deprecated, but still available)
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Fix projection resolvement of aliased to-many associations
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Fix SQL exception on updates having only key values as data
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Fix NoSuchElementException when using binary elements in where condition
    • [cds-reflect@2.13.5] Sunset. Code is now in @sap/cds package.
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] ETag added for expanded entities
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Use cds.log() throughout (incl. odata-server)
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Replace text keys with default text (that is, w/o locale) before logging error
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Read after write on draft activate doesn’t read deep
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] On http error (status >= 400) during remote service consumption: log details and throw gateway error
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] accept=application/json,text/plain is used as default accept header for remote service calls
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Improved custom error message in case acquiring a client from the pool timed out
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Metadata endpoints are protected by default if respective service is protected. Deactivate metadata endpoint protection via cds.env.odata.protectMetadata = false.
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.0] Streamlined module names used in logging

    Fixed

    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] temporary folder for CDS Preview commands is no longer part of project to avoid files being checked in
    • [vscode-cds@3.3.0] revalidates workspace after an initial annotation plugin installation to show annotation errors w/o the need of manual code edit
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] dependency analysis for compilation: if a changed file has dependencies to the roots, but the root models don’t cover it, no longer it will compile multiple times
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] translation code action wasn’t shown in the context of annotations
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] code completion for annotations had a trailing @
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] annotation assignment spanned beyond semantical end
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] code formatting of brackets enclosing multiple elements in annotations had wrong indentation
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] indexing of on condition for elements was broken
    • [cds-lsp@4.3.0] update regex to highlight one and many keywords properly
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] Structured foreign key and forward association reference paths used in ON condition definitions are now translatable into the correct short form ON condition paths in Association to Join translation.

    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] Using a hex literal like x'D028' (in a CSN input) could lead to an error.
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] for.odata:
      • Fix a bug in constraint calculation if principal has no primary keys.

    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.hdi/sql/hdbcds: Fixed a bug during processing of skipped/otherwise not db-relevant artifacts.
    • [cds-compiler@1.49.0] to.hdbcds/hdi/sql:
      • Types aren’t rendered anymore for SAP HANA in quoted mode.
      • Aliases are now respected when resolving $self
      • Association clones are now prepended with three underscores (_) instead of two to prevent shadowing of context names or usages

    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that could cause inconsistent states after a draft GC. The draft GC is now only triggered on the root entity of a draft-document, which ensures that either the whole document or nothing is garbage-collected. This aligns with the change around DraftAdministrativeData.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Improved the logged error message in case deletion of a draft during the draft GC failed.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused frequent Missing type information warnings in the log, when accessing draft-enabled entities.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused immutable fields of draft-enabled entities to be handled incorrectly when new child entities are created.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused errors, when Microsoft JavaScript Dates with offsets (for example, /Date(1601359314168-0100)/) were returned from a remote OData V2 API.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused incorrect result structures when a remote OData V2 API returned __deferred links.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused 404 errors received from requests on remote OData collection endpoints to be silently ignored.

    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Removed the misleading term “secondary” from log lines, indicating which database services have been auto-configured.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused project URLs in the pom.xml to be invalid.
    • [cds.java@1.13.0] Fixed a bug that caused issues with loading EDMX files in Maven test executions on Windows.

    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Deprecate positional parameters in favor of indexed and named parameters
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Draft: Deletion isn’t cascaded anymore to the DraftAdministrativeData of a non-root draft entity, because one deep draft document shares a single DraftAdministrativeData entity now.
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Reflection API: Refactor CdsEvent to inherit CdsStructuredType
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Deprecate ConstraintViolationException
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Improve performance of Deep Update: execute update statements in batches
    • [cds4j@1.18.0] Search: The SQL rendering for search on SQL backends has been changed for localized elements: besides in the user’s language texts are now additionally searched in the default language. On SAP HANA the performance of search over large data sets has been improved. This optimization is requires the association localized to the texts entity.
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.3] No pagination while reading single entity
    • [cds-runtime@2.8.3] SELECT.limit.offset.val should be a number
