5.11.0(2019-05-01)

NOTE: This version is only compatible with Realm Object Server 3.21.0 or later.

Enhancements

• [ObjectServer] Added RealmQuery.includeLinkingObjects(). This is only relevant for Query-based Realms and tells subscriptions to include objects linked through @LinkingObjects fields as part of the subscription as well. Objects referenced through objects and lists are always included as a default. (Issue #6426)
• Encryption now uses hardware optimized functions, which significantly improves the performance of encrypted Realms. (Realm Core PR #3241)
• Improved query performance when using RealmQuery.in() queries. (Realm Core PR #3250).
• Improved query performance when querying Integer fields with indexes, e.g. primary key fields. (Realm Core PR #3272).
• Improved write performance when writing changes to disk (Realm Core PR #2927)
• Added support for incremental annotation processing added in Gradle 4.7. (Issue #5906).

Fixed

• [ObjectServer] Fix an error in the calculation of the downloadableBytes value sent by ProgressListeners.
• [ObjectServer] HTTP requests made by the Sync client now always include a Host: header, as required by HTTP/1.1, although its value will be empty if no value is specified by the application.
• [ObjectServer] The server no longer rejects subscriptions based on queries with distinct and/or limit clauses.
• [ObjectServer] If a user had canCreate but not canUpdate privileges on a class, the user would be able to create the object, but not actually set any meaningful values on that object, despite the rule that objects created within the same transaction can always be modified.
• Native crash happening if bulk updating a field in a RealmResult would cause the object to no longer be part of the query result. (Issue #6478, since 5.8.0).

Compatibility

• Realm Object Server: 3.21.0 or later.

5.10.0(2019-03-22)

Enhancements

• [ObjectServer] Added 4 new fields to query-based Subscriptions: createdAt, updatedAt, expiresAt and timeToLive. These make it possible to better reason about and control current subscriptions. (Issue #6453)
• [ObjectServer] Added the option of updating the query controlled by a Subscription using either RealmQuery.findAllAsync(String name, boolean update), RealmQuery.subscribe(String name, boolean update) or Subscription.setQuery(RealmQuery query). (Issue #6453)
• [ObjectServer] Added the option of setting a time-to-live for subscriptions. Setting this will automatically delete the subscription after the provided TTL has expired and the subscription hasn't been used. (Issue #6453)

Fixed

• Dates returned from the Realm file no longer overflow or underflow if they exceed Long.MAX_VALUE or Long.MIN_VALUE but instead clamp to their respective value. (Issue #2722)

Compatibility

• Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later.
• File format: Generates Realms with format v9 (Reads and upgrades all previous formats).
• APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 5.x.y series.

Internal

• Updated to Object Store commit: e9819ed9c77ed87b5d7bed416a76cd5bcf255802

5.9.1(2019-02-21)

Compatibility

• Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later.
• File format: Generates Realms with format v9 (Reads and upgrades all previous formats)

• Added better checks for detecting corrupted files, both before and after the file is written to disk.

Fixed

• [ObjectServer] Native errors sometimes mapped to the wrong Java ErrorCode. (Issue #6364, since 2.0.0)
• [ObjectServer] Query-based Sync queries involving LIMIT, limited the result before permissions were evaluated. This could sometimes result in the wrong number of elements being returned.
• Removed Java 8 bytecode. Resulted in errors like D8: Invoke-customs are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26) if not compiled with Java 8. (Issue #6300, since 5.8.0).

Compatibility

• Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later.

5.8.0 (2018-11-06)

This release also contains all changes from 5.8.0-BETA1 and 5.8.0-BETA2.

Enhancements

• [ObjectServer] Added Subscription class available to Query-based Realms. This exposes a Subscription more directly. This class is in beta. #6231.
  • [ObjectServer] Added Realm.getSubscriptions(), Realm.getSubscriptions(String pattern) and Realm.getSubscription to make it easier to find existing subscriptions. These API's are in beta. #6231
  • [ObjectServer] Added RealmQuery.subscribe() and RealmQuery.subscribe(String name) to subscribe immediately inside a transaction. These API's are in beta. #6231
  • [ObjectServer] Added support for subscribing directly inside SyncConfiguration.initialData(). This can be coupled with SyncConfiguration.waitForInitialRemoteData() in order to block a Realm from opening until the initial subscriptions are ready and have downloaded data. This API are in beta. #6231
• [ObjectServer] Improved performance when merging changes from the server.
• [ObjectServer] Added support for timeouts when uploading or downloading data manually using SyncSession.downloadAllServerChanges(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) and SyncSession.uploadAllLocalChanges(long timeout, TimeUnit unit). #6073
• [ObjectServer] Added support for timing out when downloading initial data for synchronized Realms using SyncConfiguration.waitForInitialRemoteData(long timeout, TimeUnit unit). #6247
• [ObjectServer] Added Realm.init(Context, String) which defines a custom User-Agent String sent to the Realm Object Server when a session is created. Using this requires Realm Object Server 3.12.4 or later. #6267
• Added support for ImportFlags to Realm.copyToRealm() and Realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(). This makes it possible to choose a mode so only fields that actually changed are written to disk. This improves notifications and Object Server performance. #6224
• Added support for bulk updating the same property in all objects that are part of a query result using RealmResults.setValue(String fieldName, Object value) or one of the specialized overrides that have been added for all supported types, e.g. RealmResults.setString(String fieldName, String value). #762

5.2.0 (2018-06-06)

The feature previously named Partial Sync is now called Query-Based Sync and is now the default mode when synchronizing Realms. This has impacted a number of API's. See below for the details.

Deprecated

• [ObjectServer] SyncConfiguration.automatic() has been deprecated in favour of SyncUser.getDefaultConfiguration().
• [ObjectServer] new SyncConfiguration.Builder(user, url) has been deprecated in favour of SyncUser.createConfiguration(url). NOTE: Creating configurations using SyncUser will default to using query-based Realms, while creating them using new SyncConfiguration.Builder(user, url) will default to fully synchronized Realms.
• [ObjectServer] With query-based sync being the default SyncConfiguration.Builder.partialRealm() has been deprecated. Use ``SyncConfiguration.Builder.fullSynchronization()` if you want full synchronisation instead.

Enhancements

• [ObjectServer] Added SyncUser.createConfiguration(url). Realms created this way are query-based Realms by default.
• [ObjectServer] Added SyncUser.getDefaultConfiguration().
• The Realm bytecode transformer now supports incremental builds (#3034).
• Improved speed and allocations when parsing field descriptions in queries (#5547).

Enhancements

• [ObjectServer] SyncConfiguration.automatic() will make use of the host port to work out the default Realm URL.
• [ObjectServer] A role is now automatically created for each user with that user as its only member. This simplifies the common use case of restricting access to specific objects to a single user. This role can be accessed at PermissionUser.getRole().
• [ObjectServer] Expose Role.getMembers() to access the list of associated UserPermission.

Bug Fixes

• RealmList.move() did not move items correctly for unmanaged lists (#5860).
• RealmObject.isValid() not correctly returns false if null is provided as an argument (#5865).

Enhancements

• Added support for reverse relationships through the @LinkingObjects annotation. See io.realm.annotations.LinkingObjects for documentation.
  • This feature is in @Beta.
  • Queries on linking objects do not work. Queries like where(...).equalTo("field.linkingObjects.id", 7).findAll() are not yet supported.

3.0.0 (2017-02-28)

Breaking Changes

• RealmResults.distinct() returns a new RealmResults object instead of filtering on the original object (#2947).
• RealmResults is auto-updated continuously. Any transaction on the current thread which may have an impact on the order or elements of the RealmResults will change the RealmResults immediately instead of change it in the next event loop. The standard RealmResults.iterator() will continue to work as normal, which means that you can still delete or modify elements without impacting the iterator. The same is not true for simple for-loops. In some cases a simple for-loop will not work (https://realm.io/docs/java/3.0.0/api/io/realm/OrderedRealmCollection.html#loops), and you must use the new createSnapshot() method.
• RealmChangeListener on RealmObject will now also be triggered when the object is deleted. Use RealmObject.isValid() to check this state(#3138).

Deprecated

• RealmResults.removeChangeListeners(). Use RealmResults.removeAllChangeListeners() instead.
• RealmObject.removeChangeListeners(). Use RealmObject.removeAllChangeListeners() instead.

• Added OrderedRealmCollectionSnapshot class and OrderedRealmCollection.createSnapshot() method. OrderedRealmCollectionSnapshot is useful when changing RealmResults or RealmList in simple loops.
• Added OrderedRealmCollectionChangeListener interface for supporting fine-grained collection notifications.
• Added support for ChangeListeners on RealmList.
• Added RealmList.asObservable().

Bug Fixes

• Element type checking in DynamicRealmObject#setList() (#4252).
• Now throws IllegalStateException instead of process crash when any of thread confined methods in RealmQuery is called from wrong thread (#4228).
• Now throws IllegalStateException when any of thread confined methods in DynamicRealmObject is called from wrong thread (#4258).

Internal

• Use Object Store's Results as the backend for RealmResults (#3372).
  • Use Object Store's notification mechanism to trigger listeners.
  • Local commits triggers Realm global listener and RealmObject listener on current thread immediately instead of in the next event loop.

Object Server API Changes

• Realm Sync v1.0.0 has been released, and Realm Mobile Platform is no longer considered in beta.
• Breaking change: Location of Realm files are now placed in getFilesDir()/<userIdentifier> instead of getFilesDir()/. This is done in order to support shared Realms among users, while each user retaining their own local copy.
• Breaking change: SyncUser.all() now returns Map instead of List.
• Breaking change: Added a default UserStore saving users in a Realm file (RealmFileUserStore).
• Breaking change: Added multi-user support to UserStore. Added get(String) and remove(String), removed remove() and renamed get() to getCurrent().

• Realm migration wasn't triggered when the primary key definition was altered (#3966).
• Use phantom reference to solve the finalize time out issue (#2496).

Enhancements

• All major public classes are now non-final. This is mostly a compromise to support Mockito. All protected fields/methods are still not considered part of the public API and can change without notice (#3869).
• All Realm instances share a single notification daemon thread.

2.1.1 (2016-10-27)

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in Realm.insert and Realm.insertOrUpdate methods causing a StackOverFlow when you try to insert a cyclic graph of objects between Realms (#3732).

This means that Realm.createObject(Class<E>) and DynamicRealm.createObject(String) now throws RealmException if they are used to create an object with a primary key field. Use Realm.createObject(Class<E>, Object) or DynamicRealm.createObject(String, Object) instead.
• Importing from JSON without the primary key field defined in the JSON object now throws IllegalArgumentException.
• Now Realm.beginTransaction(), Realm.executeTransaction() and Realm.waitForChange() throw RealmMigrationNeededException if a remote process introduces incompatible schema changes (#3409).
• The primary key value of an object can no longer be changed after the object was created. Instead a new object must be created and all fields copied over.
• Now Realm.createObject(Class) and Realm.createObject(Class,Object) take the values from the model's fields and default constructor. Creating objects through the DynamicRealm does not use these values (#777).
• When Realm.create*FromJson()s create a new RealmObject, now they take the default values defined by the field itself and its default constructor for those fields that are not defined in the JSON object.

Enhancements

• Added realmObject.isManaged(), RealmObject.isManaged(obj) and RealmCollection.isManaged() (#3101).
• Added RealmConfiguration.Builder.directory(File).

At least one device type (HTC One X) contains system bugs that prevents Realm's encryption from functioning properly. This is now detected, and an exception is thrown when trying to open/create an encrypted Realm file. It's up to the application to catch this and decide if it's OK to proceed without encryption instead.
