v5.1.2

Enhancements

• New documentation sections: FAQ and Common Pitfalls.
• Entity Framework Core 7 table-per-concrete-type (TPC) inheritance is now supported.
• Added support for DateOnly and TimeOnly. This works out of the box when using .NET 7. But when using .NET 6, additional steps are required.
• Support for [ApiController] has improved, though its use is not recommended because it degrades JSON:API compliance. Therefore we now log a warning when found.

Bugfixes

• Fixed whitespace handling in query string parameters.
• Fixed ModelState validation in atomic operations when using custom validators with injected dependencies.
• Fixed incorrect ModelState validation error when using [Range] that does not include the type's default value.

Breaking changes

• Parsing query string parameters used to rely on the current culture, which is no longer the case. To revert to the old behavior, add the following at startup:

  AppContext.SetSwitch("JsonApiDotNetCore.ParseQueryStringsUsingCurrentCulture", true);
