    January 2023

    Added

    • [cds-dk@6.5.0] cds run/serve/migrate --resolve-bindings now pulls required service credentials if bound via cds bind. (beta)
    • [cds-dk@6.5.0] cds add helm now supports multitenancy.
    • [cds-dk@6.5.0] cds bind now supports binding of user-provided service instances from SAP BTP’s Cloud Foundry.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] API: There are new API functions for to.cdl: smartId, smartFunctionId and delimitedId.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] CDL parser: when defining a parameter for entities, actions or functions, you can use a regular identifier for its name even if that is a reserved name like in.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] The first parameter of a bound action or function can be typed with $self or many $self even if no type named $self exists.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] If an aspect sap.common.TextsAspect exists in the sap.common context, it will be included in all .texts entities. This allows to extend .texts entities via extending the aspect. Example: 
      entity E {
  key id : Integer;
  content: localized String;
}
extend sap.common.TextsAspect with {
  elem: String;
};
// from @sap/cds common.cds
aspect sap.common.TextsAspect {
  key locale: String;
}
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] to.edm(x): Support explicit binding parameter <id>: [many] $self for OData V4 only. The explicit binding parameter is rendered as any other parameter and $self is replaced with the binding type but only if no $self definition exists in the model. This gives full control over the binding parameter including name, nullability, default value and annotations. The explicit binding parameter is ignored for OData V2 and has precedence over @cds.odata.bindingparameter.
    • [cds@6.5.0] New aspect sap.common.TextsAspect in common.cds
    • [cds@6.5.0] New syntax for collection bound entities
    • [cds-mtxs@1.5.0] The built-in Service Manager client now caches binding information in-memory.
    • [cds-mtxs@1.5.0] The optimise_file_upload HDI deployment option is now supported.
    • [cds-mtxs@1.5.0] MTX migration script now allows to split extensions based on extension file names using regular expressions.
    • [cds-mtxs@1.5.0] Now, provisioning supports SaaS applications using extensibility in combination with migration tables. Before, provisioning failed with a HDI deployment error. Note: Extending migration table artifacts is not supported.
    • [vscode-cds@6.5.0] Experimental user setting cds.typeGenerator.enabled to trigger a globally installed cds type generator when saving a model file.
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] New Update.entry(Map<String, ?> entry) method to improve the API for single updates with key values in update data.
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] Added generation of builder interfaces for CDS defined events.
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] New syntax defining the binding parameter for bound functions and actions is supported.
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] Added top and skip methods to Modifier to modify pagination settings
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] New interfaces CdsBoundAction and CdsBoundFunction represent bound functions and actions of an entity.

    Changed

    • [cds-mtxs@1.4.4] cds.xt.DeploymentService configuration has been flattened. Instead of 
      "hdi": {
  "create": {
    "provisioning_parameters": {
      "database_id": "<ID>"
    },
    "binding_parameters": {
      "key": "value"
    }
  }
}

      you can now also write

      "hdi": {
  "create": {
    "database_id": "<ID>"
  },
  "bind": {
    "key": "value"
  }
}

      The old configuration is still supported, but you’re advised to migrate to the new configuration for improved readability.

    • [cds-mtxs@1.4.4] /-/cds/jobs/pollJob now also returns a tenants field, so tenant-specific tasks don’t have to be polled individually. An example response format looks like this: 
      {
  "status": "FAILED",
  "op": "upgrade",
  "tenants": {
      "non-existing-tenant": {
         "status": "FAILED",
         "error": "Tenant 'non-existing-tenant' does not exist"
      },
      "existing-tenant": {
         "status": "FINISHED"
      }
   }
}
    • [cds-dk@6.5.0] cds push now runs a build of the extension project to update the pushed extension archive (unless custom archive given).
    • [cds-dk@6.5.0] cds init and cds bind no longer use a spinner when performing long running operations.

    • [eslint-plugin-cds@2.6.1] In auth-valid-restrict-to, only suggest * if other entries apart from * exist.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] Many messages concerning the CDL and CSN syntax are improved: affects message ids (syntax-…), message texts and the error locations.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] Duplicate doc-comments are now errors, similar to duplicate annotations.
    • [cds-compiler@3.6.0] Update OData vocabularies ‘Aggregation’, ‘Analytics’, ‘Capabilities’,’Common’, ‘ODM’, ‘Offline’, ‘PDF’, ‘Session’, ‘UI’.
    • [cds.java@1.30.2] The personal data annotation @PersonalData.EntitySemantics: 'Other' now has the same effect on entities like @PersonalData.EntitySemantics: 'DataSubjectDetails.
    • [cds.java@1.30.2] Renamed the annotation @kafka.channel to @kafka.topic.
    • [cds@6.5.0] Successive calls to SELECT.where() wraps existing clause in brackets if it contains or. E.g. 
       SELECT.from `X` .where `x` .or `y` .where `z`
 //> SELECT from X where (x or y) and z`
    • [cds@6.5.0] cds build for SAP HANA now adds an engines.node version to the generated db/package.json. This will help in the future when runtime environments change their default to some version higher than the one supported by @sap/hdi-deploy.
    • [cds@6.5.0] cds build checks the consistency of built-in models for java projects. An error is logged if some model files could not successfully be resolved indicating that a required npm module might be missing.
    • [cds@6.5.0] Status code of draft actions are set in respective handler instead of protocol adapter
    • [cds@6.5.0] cds deploy --dry no longer loads the sqlite3 module by mistake. This fixes a regression when building Java projects. As a side effect a file with the name undefined was created in the project root folder.

    • [cds4j@1.35.0] Annotate generated accessor and builder interfaces with @Generated from the package javax.annotation.processing only if compiled with Java > 8.
    • [cds4j@1.35.0] Deprecate interface CqnModifier, instead use Modifier
    • [cap-js/graphql@0.2.0] Register aliasFieldResolver during schema generation instead of passing it to the GraphQL server
    • [cap-js/graphql@0.2.0] The filters contains, startswith, and endswith now generate CQN function calls instead of generating like expressions directly

      • Aliases for expand and foreign keys were not quoted if necessary.
      • Query functions that are CDL keywords were not properly quoted.
