3.1.2 Release notes (2018-03-26)

Update to sync 2.2.15

3.1.1 Release notes (2018-02-03)

Prebuilt Swift frameworks for Carthage are now built with Xcode 9.2.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a memory leak when opening Realms with an explicit objectTypes array from Swift.

3.1.0 Release notes (2018-01-16)

  • Prebuilt frameworks are now included for Swift 3.2.3 and 4.0.3.
  • Prebuilt frameworks are no longer included for Swift 3.0.x.
  • Building from source with Xcode versions prior to Xcode 8.3 is no longer supported.

Enhancements

  • Add Results.distinct(by:) / -[RLMResults distinctResultsUsingKeyPaths:], which return a Results containing only objects with unique values at the given key paths.
  • Improve performance of change checking for notifications in certain cases.
  • Realm Object Server errors not explicitly recognized by the client are now reported to the application regardless.
  • Add support for JSON Web Token as a sync credential source.
  • Add support for Nickname and Anonymous Auth as a sync credential source.
  • Improve allocator performance when writing to a highly fragmented file. This should significantly improve performance when inserting large numbers of objects which have indexed properties.
  • Improve write performance for complex object graphs involving many classes linking to each other.

Bugfixes

  • Add a missing check for a run loop in the permission API methods which require one.
  • Fix some cases where non-fatal sync errors were being treated as fatal errors.

3.0.2 Release notes (2017-11-08)

Prebuilt frameworks are now included for Swift 3.2.2 and 4.0.2.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a crash when a linking objects property is retrieved from a model object instance via Swift subscripting.
  • Fix incorrect behavior if a call to posix_fallocate is interrupted.

3.0.1 Release notes (2017-10-26)

Bugfixes

  • Explicitly exclude KVO-generated object subclasses from the schema.
  • Fix regression where the type of a Realm model class is not properly determined, causing crashes when a type value derived at runtime by type(of:) is passed into certain APIs.
  • Fix a crash when an Object subclass has implicitly ignored let properties.
  • Fix several cases where adding a notification block from within a notification callback could produce incorrect results.

3.0.0 Release notes (2017-10-16)

Breaking Changes

  • iOS 7 is no longer supported.
  • Synchronized Realms require a server running Realm Object Server v2.0 or higher.
  • Computed properties on Realm object types are detected and no longer added to the automatically generated schema.
  • The Objective-C and Swift create(_:, value: update:) APIs now correctly nil out nullable properties when updating an existing object when the value argument specifies nil or NSNull for the property value.
  • -[RLMRealm addOrUpdateObjects:] and -[RLMRealm deleteObjects:] now require their argument to conform to NSFastEnumeration, to match similar APIs that also take collections.
  • The way interactive sync errors (client reset and permission denied) are delivered to the user has been changed. Instead of a block which can be invoked to immediately delete the offending Realm file, an opaque token object of type RLMSyncErrorActionToken will be returned in the error object's userInfo dictionary. This error object can be passed into the new +[RLMSyncSession immediatelyHandleError:] API to delete the files.
  • The return types of the SyncError.clientResetInfo() and SyncError.deleteRealmUserInfo() APIs have been changed. They now return RLMSyncErrorActionTokens or SyncError.ActionTokens instead of closures.
  • The class methods Object.className(), Object.objectUtilClass(), and the property Object.isInvalidated can no longer be overriden.
  • The callback which runs when a sync user login succeeds or fails now runs on the main queue by default, or can be explicitly specified by a new callbackQueue parameter on the {RLM}SyncUser.logIn(...) API.
  • Fix empty strings, binary data, and null on the right side of BEGINSWITH, ENDSWITH and CONTAINS operators in predicates to match Foundation's semantics of never matching any strings or data.
  • Swift Object comparison and hashing behavior now works the same way as that of RLMObject (objects are now only considered equatable if their model class defines a primary key).
  • Fix the way the hash property works on Object when the object model has no primary key.
  • Fix an issue where if a Swift model class defined non-generic managed properties after generic Realm properties (like List<T>), the schema would be constructed incorrectly. Fixes an issue where creating such models from an array could fail.
  • Loosen RLMArray and RLMResults's generic constraint from RLMObject to NSObject. This may result in having to add some casts to disambiguate types.
  • Remove RLMSyncPermissionResults. RLMSyncPermissions are now vended out using a RLMResults. This results collection supports all normal collection operations except for setting values using key-value coding (since RLMSyncPermissions are immutable) and the property aggregation operations.
  • RLMSyncUserInfo has been significantly enhanced. It now contains metadata about a user stored on the Realm Object Server, as well as a list of all user account data associated with that user.
  • Starting with Swift 4, List now conforms to MutableCollection instead of RangeReplaceableCollection. For Swift 4, the empty collection initializer has been removed, and default implementations of range replaceable collection methods that make sense for List have been added.
  • List.removeLast() now throws an exception if the list is empty, to more closely match the behavior of the standard library's Collection.removeLast() implementation.
  • RealmCollection's associated type Element has been renamed ElementType.
  • The following APIs have been renamed:
Old API New API
NotificationToken.stop() NotificationToken.invalidate()
-[RLMNotificationToken stop] -[RLMNotificationToken invalidate]
RealmCollection.addNotificationBlock(_:) RealmCollection.observe(_:)
RLMSyncProgress RLMSyncProgressMode

-[NSError rlmSync_clientResetBlock] -[NSError rlmSync_errorActionToken] / -[NSError rlmSync_clientResetBackedUpRealmPath]
-[NSError rlmSync_deleteRealmBlock] -[NSError rlmSync_errorActionToken]

Enhancements

  • List can now contain values of types Bool, Int, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, Float, Double, String, Data, and Date (and optional versions of all of these) in addition to Object subclasses. Querying Lists containing values other than Object subclasses is not yet implemented.
  • RLMArray can now be constrained with the protocols RLMBool, RLMInt, RLMFloat, RLMDouble, RLMString, RLMData, and RLMDate in addition to protocols defined with RLM_ARRAY_TYPE. By default RLMArrays of non-RLMObject types can contain null. Indicating that the property is required (by overriding +requiredProperties:) will instead make the values within the array required. Querying RLMArrays containing values other than RLMObject subclasses is not yet implemented.
  • Add a new error code to denote 'permission denied' errors when working with synchronized Realms, as well as an accompanying block that can be called to inform the binding that the offending Realm's files should be deleted immediately. This allows recovering from 'permission denied' errors in a more robust manner. See the documentation for RLMSyncErrorPermissionDeniedError for more information.
  • Add Swift Object.isSameObject(as:_) API to perform the same function as the existing Objective-C API -[RLMObject isEqualToObject:].
  • Opening a synced Realm whose local copy was created with an older version of Realm Mobile Platfrom when a migration is not possible to the current version will result in an RLMErrorIncompatibleSyncedFile / incompatibleSyncedFile error. When such an error occurs, the original file is moved to a backup location, and future attempts to open the synchronized Realm will result in a new file being created. If you wish to migrate any data from the backup Realm you can open it using the backup Realm configuration available on the error object.
  • Add a preview of partial synchronization. Partial synchronization allows a synchronized Realm to be opened in such a way that only objects requested by the user are synchronized to the device. You can use it by setting the isPartial property on a SyncConfiguration, opening the Realm, and then calling Realm.subscribe(to:where:callback:) with the type of object you're interested in, a string containing a query determining which objects you want to subscribe to, and a callback which will report the results. You may add as many subscriptions to a synced Realm as necessary.

Bugfixes

  • Realm no longer throws an "unsupported instruction" exception in some cases when opening a synced Realm asynchronously.
  • Realm Swift APIs that filter or look up the index of an object based on a format string now properly handle optional arguments in their variadic argument list.
  • -[RLMResults<RLMSyncPermission *> indexOfObject:] now properly accounts for access level.
  • Fix a race condition that could lead to a crash accessing to the freed configuration object if a default configuration was set from a different thread.
  • Fixed an issue that crash when enumerating after clearing data during migration.
  • Fix a bug where a synced Realm couldn't be reopened even after a successful client reset in some cases.
  • Fix a bug where the sync subsystem waited too long in certain cases to reconnect to the server.
  • Fix a bug where encrypted sync-related metadata was incorrectly deleted from upgrading users, resulting in all users being logged out.
  • Fix a bug where permission-related data continued to be synced to a client even after the user that data belonged to logged out.
  • Fix an issue where collection notifications might be delivered inconsistently if a notification callback was added within another callback for the same collection.

3.0.0-rc.2 Release notes (2017-10-14)

Enhancements

  • Reinstate RLMSyncPermissionSortPropertyUserID to allow users to sort permissions to their own Realms they've granted to others.

Bugfixes

  • -[RLMResults<RLMSyncPermission *> indexOfObject:] now properly accounts for access level.
  • Fix a race condition that could lead to a crash accessing to the freed configuration object if a default configuration was set from a different thread.
  • Fixed an issue that crash when enumerating after clearing data during migration.
  • Fix a bug where a synced Realm couldn't be reopened even after a successful client reset in some cases.
  • Fix a bug where the sync subsystem waited too long in certain cases to reconnect to the server.
  • Fix a bug where encrypted sync-related metadata was incorrectly deleted from upgrading users, resulting in all users being logged out.
  • Fix a bug where permission-related data continued to be synced to a client even after the user that data belonged to logged out.
  • Fix an issue where collection notifications might be delivered inconsistently if a notification callback was added within another callback for the same collection.

3.0.0-rc.1 Release notes (2017-10-03)

Breaking Changes

  • Remove RLMSyncPermissionSortPropertyUserID to reflect changes in how the Realm Object Server reports permissions for a user.
  • Remove RLMSyncPermissionOffer and RLMSyncPermissionOfferResponse classes and associated helper methods and functions. Use the -[RLMSyncUser createOfferForRealmAtURL:accessLevel:expiration:callback:] and -[RLMSyncUser acceptOfferForToken:callback:] methods instead.

Bugfixes

  • The keychain item name used by Realm to manage the encryption keys for sync-related metadata is now set to a per-app name based on the bundle identifier. Keys that were previously stored within the single, shared Realm keychain item will be transparently migrated to the per-application keychain item.
  • Fix downloading of the Realm core binaries when Xcode's command-line tools are set as the active developer directory for command-line interactions.
  • Fix a crash that could occur when resolving a ThreadSafeReference to a List whose parent object had since been deleted.

3.0.0-beta.4 Release notes (2017-09-22)

Breaking Changes

  • Rename List.remove(objectAtIndex:) to List.remove(at:) to match the name used by 'RangeReplaceableCollection'.
  • Rename List.swap() to List.swapAt() to match the name used by 'Array'.
  • Loosen RLMArray and RLMResults's generic constraint from RLMObject to NSObject. This may result in having to add some casts to disambiguate types.
  • Remove RLMPropertyTypeArray in favor of a separate bool array property on RLMProperty/Property.
  • Remove RLMSyncPermissionResults. RLMSyncPermissions are now vended out using a RLMResults. This results collection supports all normal collection operations except for setting values using KVO (since RLMSyncPermissions are immutable) and the property aggregation operations.
  • RealmCollection's associated type Element has been renamed ElementType.
  • Realm Swift collection types (List, Results, AnyRealmCollection, and LinkingObjects have had their generic type parameter changed from T to Element).
  • RealmOptional's generic type parameter has been changed from T to Value.
  • RLMSyncUserInfo has been significantly enhanced. It now contains metadata about a user stored on the Realm Object Server, as well as a list of all user account data associated with that user.
  • Starting with Swift 4, List now conforms to MutableCollection instead of RangeReplaceableCollection. For Swift 4, the empty collection initializer has been removed, and default implementations of range replaceable collection methods that make sense for List have been added.

Breaking Changes

  • iOS 7 is no longer supported.
  • Computed properties on Realm object types are detected and no longer added to the automatically generated schema.
  • -[RLMRealm addOrUpdateObjectsInArray:] has been renamed to -[RLMRealm addOrUpdateObjects:] for consistency with similar methods that add or delete objects.
  • -[RLMRealm addOrUpdateObjects:] and -[RLMRealm deleteObjects:] now require their argument to conform to NSFastEnumeration, to match similar APIs that also take collections.
  • Remove deprecated {RLM}SyncPermission and {RLM}SyncPermissionChange classes.
  • {RLM}SyncPermissionValue has been renamed to just {RLM}SyncPermission. Its userId property has been renamed identity, and its -initWithRealmPath:userID:accessLevel: initializer has been renamed -initWithRealmPath:identity:accessLevel:.
  • Remove deprecated -[RLMSyncUser permissionRealmWithError:] and SyncUser.permissionRealm() APIs. Use the new permissions system.
  • Remove deprecated error RLMSyncErrorBadResponse. Use RLMSyncAuthErrorBadResponse instead.
  • The way interactive sync errors (client reset and permission denied) are delivered to the user has been changed. Instead of a block which can be invoked to immediately delete the offending Realm file, an opaque token object of type RLMSyncErrorActionToken will be returned in the error object's userInfo dictionary. This error object can be passed into the new +[RLMSyncSession immediatelyHandleError:] API to delete the files.
  • Remove -[NSError rlmSync_clientResetBlock] and -[NSError rlmSync_deleteRealmBlock] APIs.
  • The return types of the SyncError.clientResetInfo() and SyncError.deleteRealmUserInfo() APIs have been changed. They now return RLMSyncErrorActionTokens or SyncError.ActionTokens instead of closures.
  • The (erroneously added) instance property Object.className has been removed.
  • The class methods Object.className(), Object.objectUtilClass(), and the property Object.isInvalidated can no longer be overriden.
  • The callback which runs when a sync user login succeeds or fails now runs on the main queue by default, or can be explicitly specified by a new callbackQueue parameter on the {RLM}SyncUser.logIn(...) API.
  • Rename {RLM}NotificationToken.stop() to invalidate() and {RealmCollection,SyncPermissionResults}.addNotificationBlock(_:) to observe(_:) to mirror Foundation's new KVO APIs.
  • The RLMSyncProgress enum has been renamed RLMSyncProgressMode.
  • Remove deprecated {RLM}SyncManager.disableSSLValidation property. Disable SSL validation on a per-Realm basis by setting the enableSSLValidation property on {RLM}SyncConfiguration instead.
  • Fix empty strings, binary data, and null on the right side of BEGINSWITH, ENDSWITH and CONTAINS operators in predicates to match Foundation's semantics of never matching any strings or data.
  • Swift Object comparison and hashing behavior now works the same way as that of RLMObject (objects are now only considered equatable if their model class defines a primary key).

Enhancements

  • Add Swift Object.isSameObject(as:_) API to perform the same function as the existing Objective-C API -[RLMObject isEqualToObject:].
  • Expose additional authentication-related errors that might be reported by a Realm Object Server.
  • An error handler can now be registered on {RLM}SyncUsers in order to report authentication-related errors that affect the user.

Bugfixes

  • Sync users are now automatically logged out upon receiving certain types of errors that indicate they are no longer logged into the server. For example, users who are authenticated using third-party credentials will find themselves logged out of the Realm Object Server if the third-party identity service indicates that their credential is no longer valid.
  • Address high CPU usage and hangs in certain cases when processing collection notifications in highly-connected object graphs.

3.0.0-beta.2 Release notes (2017-07-26)

Breaking Changes

  • Remove the following deprecated Objective-C APIs: -[RLMArray sortedResultsUsingProperty:ascending:], -[RLMCollection sortedResultsUsingProperty:ascending:], -[RLMResults sortedResultsUsingProperty:ascending:], +[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithProperty:ascending:], RLMSortDescriptor.property. These APIs have been superseded by equivalent APIs that take or return key paths instead of property names.
  • Remove the following deprecated Objective-C API: +[RLMRealm migrateRealm:configuration:]. Please use +[RLMRealm performMigrationForConfiguration:error:] instead.
  • Remove the following deprecated Swift APIs: AnyRealmCollection.sorted(byProperty:, ascending:), LinkingObjects.sorted(byProperty:, ascending:), List.sorted(byProperty:, ascending:), Results.sorted(byProperty:, ascending:), SortDescriptor.init(property:, ascending:), SortDescriptor.property. These APIs have been superseded by equivalent APIs that take or return key paths instead of property names.
  • The Objective-C and Swift create(_:, value: update:) APIs now correctly nil out nullable properties when updating an existing object when the value argument specifies nil or NSNull for the property value.

Enhancements

  • It is now possible to create and log in multiple Realm Object Server users with the same identity if they originate from different servers. Note that if the URLs are different aliases for the same authentication server each user will still be treated as separate (e.g. they will have their own copy of each synchronized Realm opened using them). It is highly encouraged that users defined using the access token credential type be logged in with an authentication server URL specified; this parameter will become mandatory in a future version of the SDK.
  • Add -[RLMSyncUser retrieveInfoForUser:identityProvider:completion:] API allowing administrator users to retrieve information about a user based on their provider identity (for example, a username). Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.8.2 or later.

Bugfixes

  • Realm no longer throws an "unsupported instruction" exception in some cases when opening a synced Realm asynchronously.

  • Add -[RLMSyncPermissionValue initWithRealmPath:username:accessLevel:] API allowing permissions to be applied to a user based on their username (usually, an email address). Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.6.0 or later.
  • Improve performance of creating Swift objects which contain at least one List property.

Bugfixes

  • List.description now reports the correct types for nested lists.
  • Fix unmanaged object initialization when a nested property type returned false from Object.shouldIncludeInDefaultSchema().
  • Don't clear RLMArrays on self-assignment.

2.10.2 Release notes (2017-09-27)

Bugfixes

  • Suppress -Wdocumentation warnings in Realm C++ headers when using CocoaPods with Xcode 8.3.2.
  • Throw an appropriate error rather than crashing when an RLMArray is assigned to an RLMArray property of a different type.
  • Fix crash in large (>4GB) encrypted Realm files.

2.7.0 Release notes (2017-05-03)

API Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Use reachability API to minimize the reconnection delay if the network connection was lost.
  • Add -[RLMSyncUser changePassword:completion:] API to change the current user's password if using Realm's 'password' authentication provider. Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.4.0 or later.
  • {RLM}SyncConfiguration now has an enableSSLValidation property (and default parameter in the Swift initializer) to allow SSL validation to be specified on a per-server basis.
  • Transactions between a synced Realm and a Realm Object Server can now exceed 16 MB in size.
  • Add new APIs for changing and retrieving permissions for synchronized Realms. These APIs are intended to replace the existing Realm Object-based permissions system. Requires any edition of the Realm Object Server 1.1.0 or later.

Bugfixes

  • Support Realm model classes defined in Swift with overridden Objective-C names (e.g. @objc(Foo) class SwiftFoo: Object {}).
  • Fix -[RLMMigration enumerateObjects:block:] returning incorrect oldObject objects when enumerating a class name after previously deleting a newObject.
  • Fix an issue where Realm.asyncOpen(...) would fail to work when opening a synchronized Realm for which the user only had read permissions.
  • Using KVC to set a List property to nil now clears it to match the behavior of RLMArray properties.
  • Fix crash from !m_awaiting_pong assertion failure when using synced Realms.
  • Fix poor performance or hangs when performing case-insensitive queries on indexed string properties that contain many characters that don't differ between upper and lower case (e.g., numbers, punctuation).

2.6.2 Release notes (2017-04-21)

API Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • None.

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issue where calling Realm.asyncOpen(...) with a synchronized Realm configuration would crash in error cases rather than report the error. This is a small source breaking change if you were relying on the error being reported to be a Realm.Error.

2.6.0 Release notes (2017-04-18)

API Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Add a {RLM}SyncUser.isAdmin property indicating whether a user is a Realm Object Server administrator.
  • Add an API to asynchronously open a Realm and deliver it to a block on a given queue. This performs all work needed to get the Realm to a usable state (such as running potentially time-consuming migrations) on a background thread before dispatching to the given queue. In addition, synchronized Realms wait for all remote content available at the time the operation began to be downloaded and available locally.
  • Add shouldCompactOnLaunch block property when configuring a Realm to determine if it should be compacted before being returned.
  • Speed up case-insensitive queries on indexed string properties.
  • Add RLMResults's collection aggregate methods to RLMArray.
  • Add support for calling the aggregate methods on unmanaged Lists.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a deadlock when multiple processes open a Realm at the same time.
  • Fix value(forKey:)/value(forKeyPath:) returning incorrect values for List properties.

2.5.1 Release notes (2017-04-05)

API Breaking Changes

If using synchronized Realms, the Realm Object Server must be running version 1.3.0 or later.

Swift binaries are now produced for Swift 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and 3.1.

API Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Add support for multi-level object equality comparisons against NULL.
  • Add support for the [d] modifier on string comparison operators to perform diacritic-insensitive comparisons.

Bugfixes

  • Fix incorrect column type assertions which could occur after schemas were merged by sync.
  • Eliminate an empty write transaction when opening a synced Realm.
  • Support encrypting synchronized Realms by respecting the encryptionKey value of the Realm's configuration.
  • Fix crash when setting an {NS}Data property close to 16MB.
  • Fix for reading {NS}Data properties incorrectly returning nil.
  • Reduce file size growth in cases where Realm versions were pinned while starting write transactions.
  • Fix an assertion failure when writing to large RLMArray/List properties.
  • Fix uncaught BadTransactLog exceptions when pulling invalid changesets from synchronized Realms.

  • Fix a crash that could occur if new Realm instances were created while the application was exiting.
  • Fix a bug that could lead to bad version number errors when delivering change notifications.
  • Fix a potential use-after-free bug when checking validity of results.
  • Fix an issue where a sync session might not close properly if it receives an error while being torn down.
  • Fix some issues where a sync session might not reconnect to the server properly or get into an inconsistent state if revived after invalidation.
  • Fix an issue where notifications might not fire when the children of an observed object are changed.
  • Fix an issue where progress notifications on sync sessions might incorrectly report out-of-date values.
  • Fix an issue where multiple threads accessing encrypted data could result in corrupted data or crashes.
  • Fix an issue where certain LIKE queries could hang.
  • Fix an issue where -[RLMRealm writeCopyToURL:encryptionKey:error] could create a corrupt Realm file.
  • Fix an issue where incrementing a synced Realm's schema version without actually changing the schema could cause a crash.

2.4.3 Release notes (2017-02-20)

API Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Avoid copying copy-on-write data structures, which can grow the file, when the write does not actually change existing values.
  • Improve performance of deleting all objects in an RLMResults.
  • Reduce the number of files opened per thread-specific Realm on macOS.
  • Improve startup performance with large numbers of RLMObject/Object subclasses.

Bugfixes

  • Fix synchronized Realms not downloading remote changes when an access token expires and there are no local changes to upload.
  • Fix an issue where values set on a Realm object using setValue(value:, forKey:) that were not themselves Realm objects were not properly converted into Realm objects or checked for validity.
  • Fix an issue where -[RLMSyncUser sessionForURL:] could erroneously return a non-nil value when passed in an invalid URL.
  • SyncSession.Progress.fractionTransferred now returns 1 if there are no transferrable bytes.
  • Fix sync progress notifications registered on background threads by always dispatching on a dedicated background queue.
  • Fix compilation issues with Xcode 8.3 beta 2.
  • Fix incorrect sync progress notification values for Realms originally created using a version of Realm prior to 2.3.0.
  • Fix LLDB integration to be able to display summaries of RLMResults once more.
  • Reject Swift properties with names which cause them to fall in to ARC method families rather than crashing when they are accessed.
  • Fix sorting by key path when the declared property order doesn't match the order of properties in the Realm file, which can happen when properties are added in different schema versions.

2.4.2 Release notes (2017-01-30)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issue where RLMRealm instances could end up in the autorelease pool for other threads.

2.4.1 Release notes (2017-01-27)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issue where authentication tokens were not properly refreshed automatically before expiring.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a call to commitWrite(withoutNotifying:) committing a transaction that would not have triggered a notification incorrectly skipping the next notification.
  • Fix incorrect results and crashes when conflicting object insertions are merged by the synchronization mechanism when there is a collection notification registered for that object type.

2.2.0 Release notes (2017-01-12)

Sync Breaking Changes (In Beta)

  • Sync-related error reporting behavior has been changed. Errors not related to a particular user or session are only reported if they are classed as 'fatal' by the underlying sync engine.
  • Added RLMSyncErrorClientResetError to RLMSyncError enum.

API Breaking Changes

  • The following Objective-C APIs have been deprecated in favor of newer or preferred versions:
Deprecated API New API
-[RLMArray sortedResultsUsingProperty:] -[RLMArray sortedResultsUsingKeyPath:]
-[RLMCollection sortedResultsUsingProperty:] -[RLMCollection sortedResultsUsingKeyPath:]
-[RLMResults sortedResultsUsingProperty:] -[RLMResults sortedResultsUsingKeyPath:]
+[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithProperty:ascending] +[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:ascending:]
RLMSortDescriptor.property RLMSortDescriptor.keyPath
  • The following Swift APIs have been deprecated in favor of newer or preferred versions:

Enhancements

  • Introduce APIs for safely passing objects between threads. Create a thread-safe reference to a thread-confined object by passing it to the +[RLMThreadSafeReference referenceWithThreadConfined:]/ThreadSafeReference(to:) constructor, which you can then safely pass to another thread to resolve in the new Realm with -[RLMRealm resolveThreadSafeReference:]/Realm.resolve(_:).
  • Realm collections can now be sorted by properties over to-one relationships.
  • Optimized CONTAINS queries to use Boyer-Moore algorithm (around 10x speedup on large datasets).

Bugfixes

  • None.

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Add the ability to skip calling specific notification blocks when committing a write transaction.

2.0.1 Release notes (2016-09-29)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an assertion failure when opening a Realm file written by a 1.x version of Realm which has an indexed nullable int or bool property.

2.0.0 Release notes (2016-09-27)

This release introduces support for the Realm Mobile Platform! See https://realm.io/news/introducing-realm-mobile-platform/ for an overview of these great new features.

API breaking changes

  • By popular demand, RealmSwift.Error has been moved from the top-level namespace into a Realm extension and is now Realm.Error, so that it no longer conflicts with Swift.Error.
  • Files written by Realm 2.0 cannot be read by 1.x or earlier versions. Old files can still be opened.

Enhancements

  • The .log, .log_a and .log_b files no longer exist and the state tracked in them has been moved to the main Realm file. This reduces the number of open files needed by Realm, improves performance of both opening and writing to Realms, and eliminates a small window where committing write transactions would prevent other processes from opening the file.

Bugfixes

  • Fix an assertion failure when sorting by zero properties.
  • Fix a mid-commit crash in one process also crashing all other processes with the same Realm open.
  • Properly initialize new nullable float and double properties added to existing objects to null rather than 0.
  • Fix a stack overflow when objects with indexed string properties had very long common prefixes.
  • Fix a race condition which could lead to crashes when using async queries or collection notifications.
  • Fix a bug which could lead to incorrect state when an object which links to itself is deleted from the Realm.

1.1.0 Release notes (2016-09-16)

This release brings official support for Xcode 8, Swift 2.3 and Swift 3.0. Prebuilt frameworks are now built with Xcode 7.3.1 and Xcode 8.0.

API breaking changes

  • Deprecate migrateRealm: in favor of new performMigrationForConfiguration:error: method that follows Cocoa's NSError conventions.
  • Fix issue where RLMResults used id instead of its generic type as the return type of subscript.

Enhancements

  • Improve error message when using NSNumber incorrectly in Swift models.
  • Further reduce the download size of the prebuilt static libraries.
  • Improve sort performance, especially on non-nullable columns.
  • Allow partial initialization of object by initWithValue:, deferring required property checks until object is added to Realm.

Bugfixes

  • Fix incorrect truncation of the constant value for queries of the form column < value for float and double columns.
  • Fix crash when an aggregate is accessed as an Int8, Int16, Int32, or Int64.

  • Fix a crash when the last reference to an observed object is released from within the observation.
  • Fix a crash when initWithValue: is used to create a nested object for a class with an uninitialized schema.
  • Enforce uniqueness for RealmOptional primary keys when using the value setter.

1.0.2 Release notes (2016-07-13)

  • Reduce address space used when committing write transactions.
  • Significantly reduce the download size of prebuilt binaries and slightly reduce the final size contribution of Realm to applications.
  • Improve performance of accessing RLMArray properties and creating objects with List properties.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a crash when reading the shared schema from an observed Swift object.
  • Fix crashes or incorrect results when passing an array of values to createOrUpdate after reordering the class's properties.
  • Ensure that the initial call of a Results notification block is always passed .Initial even if there is a write transaction between when the notification is added and when the first notification is delivered.
  • Fix a crash when deleting all objects in a Realm while fast-enumerating query results from that Realm.
  • Handle EINTR from flock() rather than crashing.
  • Fix incorrect behavior following a call to [RLMRealm compact].
  • Fix live updating and notifications for Results created from a predicate involving an inverse relationship to be triggered when an object at the other end of the relationship is modified.

1.0.1 Release notes (2016-06-12)

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Significantly improve performance of opening Realm files, and slightly improve performance of committing write transactions.

Bugfixes

  • Swift: Fix an error thrown when trying to create or update Object instances via add(:_update:) with a primary key property of type RealmOptional.
  • Xcode playground in Swift release zip now runs successfully.
  • The key parameter of Realm.objectForPrimaryKey(_:key:)/ Realm.dynamicObjectForPrimaryKey(_:key:) is now marked as optional.
  • Fix a potential memory leak when closing Realms after a Realm file has been opened on multiple threads which are running in active run loops.
  • Fix notifications breaking on tvOS after a very large number of write transactions have been committed.
  • Fix a "Destruction of mutex in use" assertion failure after an error while opening a file.

  • Update the LLDB script to work with recent changes to the implementation of RLMResults.
  • Fix an assertion failure when a Realm file is deleted while it is still open, and then a new Realm is opened at the same path. Note that this is still not a supported scenario, and may break in other ways.

1.0.0 Release notes (2016-05-25)

No changes since 0.103.2.

0.103.2 Release notes (2016-05-24)

API breaking changes

  • None.

0.103.1 Release notes (2016-05-19)

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • None.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a bug that sometimes resulted in a single object's NSData properties changing from nil to a zero-length non-nil NSData when a different object of the same type was deleted.

0.103.0 Release notes (2016-05-18)

API breaking changes

  • All functionality deprecated in previous releases has been removed entirely.
  • Support for Xcode 6.x & Swift prior to 2.2 has been completely removed.
  • RLMResults/Results now become empty when a RLMArray/List or object they depend on is deleted, rather than throwing an exception when accessed.
  • Migrations are no longer run when deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded is set, recreating the file instead.

Enhancements

  • Added invalidated properties to RLMResults/Results, RLMLinkingObjects/LinkingObjects, RealmCollectionType and AnyRealmCollection. These properties report whether the Realm the object is associated with has been invalidated.
  • Some NSErrors created by Realm now have more descriptive user info payloads.

Bugfixes

  • None.

0.102.1 Release notes (2016-05-13)

  • Fix crashes and/or incorrect results when querying over multiple levels of LinkingObjects properties.
  • Fix opening read-only Realms on multiple threads at once.
  • Fix a BadTransactLog exception when storing dates before the unix epoch (1970-01-01).

  • Add a method to rename properties during migrations:
    • Swift: Migration.renamePropertyForClass(_:oldName:newName:)
    • Objective-C: -[RLMMigration renamePropertyForClass:oldName:newName:]
  • Add deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded to RLMRealmConfiguration/Realm.Configuration. When this is set to true, the Realm file will be automatically deleted and recreated when there is a schema mismatch rather than migrated to the new schema.

Bugfixes

  • Fix BETWEEN queries that traverse RLMArray/List properties to ensure that a single related object satisfies the BETWEEN criteria, rather than allowing different objects in the array to satisfy the lower and upper bounds.
  • Fix a race condition when a Realm is opened on one thread while it is in the middle of being closed on another thread which could result in crashes.
  • Fix a bug which could result in changes made on one thread being applied incorrectly on other threads when those threads are refreshed.
  • Fix crash when migrating to the new date format introduced in 0.101.0.
  • Fix crash when querying inverse relationships when objects are deleted.

0.101.0 Release notes (2016-05-04)

  • Crashing while in the middle of a write transaction no longer blocks other processes from performing write transactions on the same file.
  • Improve the performance of refreshing a Realm (including via autorefresh) when there are live Results/RLMResults objects for that Realm.

Bugfixes

  • Fix an assertion failure of "!more_before || index >= std::prev(it)->second)" in IndexSet::do_add().
  • Fix a crash when an RLMArray or List object is destroyed from the wrong thread.

0.100.0 Release notes (2016-04-29)

API breaking changes

  • -[RLMObject linkingObjectsOfClass:forProperty] and Object.linkingObjects(_:forProperty:) are deprecated in favor of properties of type RLMLinkingObjects / LinkingObjects.

Enhancements

  • The automatically-maintained inverse direction of relationships can now be exposed as properties of type RLMLinkingObjects / LinkingObjects. These properties automatically update to reflect the objects that link to the target object, can be used in queries, and can be filtered like other Realm collection types.
  • Queries that compare objects for equality now support multi-level key paths.

Bugfixes

  • Fix an assertion failure when a second write transaction is committed after a write transaction deleted the object containing an RLMArray/List which had an active notification block.
  • Queries that compare RLMArray / List properties using != now give the correct results.

RLMRealmConfiguration.path RLMRealmConfiguration.fileURL
RLMRealm.path RLMRealmConfiguration.fileURL
RLMRealm.readOnly RLMRealmConfiguration.readOnly
+[RLMRealm realmWithPath:] +[RLMRealm realmWithURL:]
+[RLMRealm writeCopyToPath:error:] +[RLMRealm writeCopyToURL:encryptionKey:error:]

+[RLMRealm schemaVersionAtPath:error:] +[RLMRealm schemaVersionAtURL:encryptionKey:error:]
+[RLMRealm schemaVersionAtPath:encryptionKey:error:] +[RLMRealm schemaVersionAtURL:encryptionKey:error:]
  • The following Swift APIs have been deprecated in favor of newer or preferred versions:
Deprecated API New API
Realm.removeNotification(_:) NotificationToken.stop()
Realm.Configuration.path Realm.Configuration.fileURL
Realm.path Realm.Configuration.fileURL

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • None.

Bugfixes

  • Mark further initializers in Objective-C as NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER to prevent that these aren't correctly defined in Swift Object subclasses, which don't qualify for auto-inheriting the required initializers.
  • -[RLMResults indexOfObjectWithPredicate:] now returns correct results for RLMResults instances that were created by filtering an RLMArray.
  • Adjust how RLMObjects are destroyed in order to support using an associated object on an RLMObject to remove KVO observers from that RLMObject.
  • -[RLMResults indexOfObjectWithPredicate:] now returns the index of the first matching object for a sorted RLMResults, matching its documented behavior.
  • Fix a crash when canceling a transaction that set a relationship.

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Aggregate operations (ANY, NONE, @count, SUBQUERY, etc.) are now supported for key paths that begin with an object relationship so long as there is a RLMArray/List property at some point in a key path.
  • Predicates of the form %@ IN arrayProperty are now supported.

Bugfixes

  • Use of KVC collection operators on Swift collection types no longer throws an exception.
  • Fix reporting of inWriteTransaction in notifications triggered by beginWriteTransaction.
  • The contents of List and Optional properties are now correctly preserved when copying a Swift object from one Realm to another, and performing other operations that result in a Swift object graph being recursively traversed from Objective-C.
  • Fix a deadlock when queries are performed within a Realm notification block.
  • The ANY / SOME / NONE qualifiers are now required in comparisons involving a key path that traverse a RLMArray/List property. Previously they were only required if the first key in the key path was an RLMArray/List property.

  • NSPredicate's SUBQUERY operator is now supported. It has the following limitations:
    • @count is the only operator that may be applied to the SUBQUERY expression.
    • The SUBQUERY(…).@count expression must be compared with a constant.
    • Correlated subqueries are not yet supported.

Bugfixes

Bugfixes

  • Fix browser location in release zip.

0.87.3 Release notes (2014-11-06)

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Added method -linkingObjectsOfClass:forProperty: to RLMObject to expose inverse relationships/backlinks.

Bugfixes

  • Fix for crash due to missing search index when migrating an object with a string primary key in a database created using an older versions (0.86.3 and earlier).

0.87.0 Release notes (2014-10-21)

API breaking changes

  • RLMArray has been split into two classes, RLMArray and RLMResults. RLMArray is used for object properties as in previous releases. Moving forward all methods used to enumerate, query, and sort objects return an instance of a new class RLMResults. This change was made to support diverging apis and the future addition of change notifications for queries.
  • The api for migrations has changed. You now call setSchemaVersion:withMigrationBlock: to register a global migration block and associated version. This block is applied to Realms as needed when opened for Realms at a previous version. The block can be applied manually if desired by calling migrateRealmAtPath:.
  • arraySortedByProperty:ascending: was renamed to sortedResultsUsingProperty:ascending
  • addObjectsFromArray: on both RLMRealm and RLMArray has been renamed to addObjects: and now accepts any container class which implements NSFastEnumeration
  • Building with Swift support now requires Xcode 6.1

Enhancements

  • Add support for sorting RLMArrays by multiple columns with sortedResultsUsingDescriptors:
  • Added method deleteAllObjects on RLMRealm to clear a Realm.
  • Added method createObject:withObject: on RLMMigration which allows object creation during migrations.
  • Added method deleteObject: on RLMMigration which allows object deletion during migrations.
  • Updating to core library version 0.85.0.
  • Implement objectsWhere: and objectsWithPredicate: for array properties.
  • Add cancelWriteTransaction to revert all changes made in a write transaction and end the transaction.
  • Make creating RLMRealm instances on background threads when an instance exists on another thread take a fifth of the time.
  • Support for partial updates when calling createOrUpdateWithObject: and addOrUpdateObject:
  • Re-enable Swift support on OS X

Bugfixes

  • Fix exceptions when trying to set RLMObject properties after rearranging the properties in a RLMObject subclass.
  • Fix crash on IN query with several thousand items.
  • Fix crash when querying indexed NSString properties.
  • Fixed an issue which prevented in-memory Realms from being used accross multiple threads.
  • Preserve the sort order when querying a sorted RLMResults.
  • Fixed an issue with migrations where if a Realm file is deleted after a Realm is initialized, the newly created Realm can be initialized with an incorrect schema version.
  • Fix crash in RLMSuperSet when assigning to a RLMArray property on a standalone object.
  • Add an error message when the protocol for an RLMArray property is not a valid object type.
  • Add an error message when an RLMObject subclass is defined nested within another Swift class.

0.86.3 Release notes (2014-10-09)

Enhancements

  • Add support for != in queries on object relationships.

Bugfixes

  • Re-adding an object to its Realm no longer throws an exception and is now a no-op (as it was previously).
  • Fix another bug which would sometimes result in subclassing RLMObject subclasses not working.

0.86.2 Release notes (2014-10-06)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issues with packaging "Realm Browser.app" for release.

0.86.1 Release notes (2014-10-03)

Bugfixes

0.86.0 Release notes (2014-10-03)

API breaking changes

  • Xcode 6 is now supported from the main Xcode project Realm.xcodeproj. Xcode 5 is no longer supported.

Enhancements

  • Support subclassing RLMObject models. Although you can now persist subclasses, polymorphic behavior is not supported (i.e. setting a property to an instance of its subclass).
  • Add support for sorting RLMArray properties.
  • Speed up inserting objects with addObject: by ~20%.
  • readonly properties are automatically ignored rather than having to be added to ignoredProperties.
  • Updating to core library version 0.83.1.
  • Return "[deleted object]" rather than throwing an exception when -description is called on a deleted RLMObject.
  • Significantly improve performance of very large queries.
  • Allow passing any enumerable to IN clauses rather than just NSArray.
  • Add objectForPrimaryKey: and objectInRealm:forPrimaryKey: convenience methods to fetch an object by primary key.

Bugfixes

  • Fix for chained queries ignoring all but the last query's conditions.

0.85.0 Release notes (2014-09-15)

API breaking changes

  • Notifications for a refresh being needed (when autorefresh is off) now send the notification type RLMRealmRefreshRequiredNotification rather than RLMRealmDidChangeNotification.

Enhancements

  • Updating to core library version 0.83.0.
  • Support for primary key properties (for int and string columns). Declaring a property to be the primary key ensures uniqueness for that property for all objects of a given type. At the moment indexes on primary keys are not yet supported but this will be added in a future release.
  • Added methods to update or insert (upsert) for objects with primary keys defined.
  • [RLMObject initWithObject:] and [RLMObject createInRealmWithObject:] now support any object type with kvc properties.
  • The Swift support has been reworked to work around Swift not being supported in Frameworks on iOS 7.
  • Improve performance when getting the count of items matching a query but not reading any of the objects in the results.
  • Add a return value to -[RLMRealm refresh] that indicates whether or not there was anything to refresh.
  • Add the class name to the error message when an RLMObject is missing a value for a property without a default.
  • Add support for opening Realms in read-only mode.
  • Add an automatic check for updates when using Realm in a simulator (the checker code is not compiled into device builds). This can be disabled by setting the REALM_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECKER environment variable to any value.
  • Add support for Int16 and Int64 properties in Swift classes.

Bugfixes

  • Realm change notifications when beginning a write transaction are now sent after updating rather than before, to match refresh.
  • -isEqual: now uses the default NSObject implementation unless a primary key is specified for an RLMObject. When a primary key is specified, -isEqual: calls -isEqualToObject: and a corresponding implementation for -hash is also implemented.

0.84.0 Release notes (2014-08-28)

API breaking changes

  • The timer used to trigger notifications has been removed. Notifications are now only triggered by commits made in other threads, and can not currently be triggered by changes made by other processes. Interprocess notifications will be re-added in a future commit with an improved design.

Enhancements

  • Updating to core library version 0.82.2.
  • Add property deletedFromRealm to RLMObject to indicate objects which have been deleted.
  • Add support for the IN operator in predicates.
  • Add support for the BETWEEN operator in link queries.
  • Add support for multi-level link queries in predicates (e.g. foo.bar.baz = 5).
  • Switch to building the SDK from source when using CocoaPods and add a Realm.Headers subspec for use in targets that should not link a copy of Realm (such as test targets).
  • Allow unregistering from change notifications in the change notification handler block.
  • Significant performance improvements when holding onto large numbers of RLMObjects.
  • Realm-Xcode6.xcodeproj now only builds using Xcode6-Beta6.
  • Improved performance during RLMArray iteration, especially when mutating contained objects.

Bugfixes

  • Fix crashes and assorted bugs when sorting or querying a RLMArray returned from a query.
  • Notifications are no longer sent when initializing new RLMRealm instances on background threads.
  • Handle object cycles in -[RLMObject description] and -[RLMArray description].
  • Lowered the deployment target for the Xcode 6 projects and Swift examples to iOS 7.0, as they didn't actually require 8.0.
  • Support setting model properties starting with the letter 'z'
  • Fixed crashes that could result from switching between Debug and Relase builds of Realm.

0.83.0 Release notes (2014-08-13)

API breaking changes

  • Realm-Xcode6.xcodeproj now only builds using Xcode6-Beta5.
  • Properties to be persisted in Swift classes must be explicitly declared as dynamic.
  • Subclasses of RLMObject subclasses now throw an exception on startup, rather than when added to a Realm.

Enhancements

  • Add support for querying for nil object properties.
  • Improve error message when specifying invalid literals when creating or initializing RLMObjects.
  • Throw an exception when an RLMObject is used from the incorrect thread rather than crashing in confusing ways.
  • Speed up RLMRealm instantiation and array property iteration.
  • Allow array and objection relation properties to be missing or null when creating a RLMObject from a NSDictionary.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a memory leak when querying for objects.

  • Proper implementation for [RLMArray indexOfObjectWhere:]
  • The default Realm path on OS X is now ~/Library/Application Support/[bundle identifier]/default.realm rather than ~/Documents
  • We now check that the correct framework (ios or osx) is used at compile time.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed rapid growth of the realm file size.
  • Fixed a bug which could cause a crash during RLMArray destruction after a query.
  • Fixed bug related to querying on float properties: floatProperty = 1.7 now works.

  • Fixed bug where array properties accessed the wrong property.
  • Fixed bug that prevented objects with custom getters to be added to a Realm.
  • Fixed a bug where initializing a standalone object with an array literal would trigger an exception.
  • Clarified exception messages when using unsupported NSPredicate operators.
  • Clarified exception messages when using unsupported property types on RLMObject subclasses.
  • Fixed a memory leak when breaking out of a for-in loop on RLMArray.

  • Fixed a memory leak when querying for objects.

0.81.0 Release notes (2014-07-22)

API breaking changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Updating to core library version 0.80.3.
  • Added support for basic querying of RLMObject and RLMArray properties (one-to-one and one-to-many relationships). e.g. [Person objectsWhere:@"dog.name == 'Alfonso'"] or [Person objectsWhere:@"ANY dogs.name == 'Alfonso'"] Supports all normal operators for numeric and date types. Does not support NSData properties or BEGINSWITH, ENDSWITH, CONTAINS and other options for string properties.
  • Added support for querying for object equality in RLMObject and RLMArray properties (one-to-one and one-to-many relationships). e.g. [Person objectsWhere:@"dog == %@", myDog] [Person objectsWhere:@"ANY dogs == %@", myDog] [Person objectsWhere:@"ANY friends.dog == %@", dog] Only supports comparing objects for equality (i.e. ==)
  • Added a helper method to RLMRealm to perform a block inside a transaction.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed Unicode support in property names and string contents (Chinese, Russian, etc.). Closing #612 and #604.
  • Fixed bugs related to migration when properties are removed.
  • Fixed keyed subscripting for standalone RLMObjects.

0.80.0 Release notes (2014-07-15)

API breaking changes

  • Rename migration methods to -migrateDefaultRealmWithBlock: and -migrateRealmAtPath:withBlock:
  • Moved Realm specific query methods from RLMRealm to class methods on RLMObject (-allObjects: to +allObjectsInRealm: ect.)

Enhancements

  • Added +createInDefaultRealmWithObject: method to RLMObject.
  • Added support for array and object literals when calling -createWithObject: and -initWithObject: variants.
  • Added method -deleteObjects: to batch delete objects from a Realm
  • Support for defining RLMObject models entirely in Swift (experimental, see known issues).
  • RLMArrays in Swift support Sequence-style enumeration (for obj in array).
  • Implemented -indexOfObject: for RLMArray

Known Issues for Swift-defined models

  • Properties other than String, NSData and NSDate require a default value in the model. This can be an empty (but typed) array for array properties.
  • The previous caveat also implies that not all models defined in Objective-C can be used for object properties. Only Objective-C models with only implicit (i.e. primitives) or explicit default values can be used. However, any Objective-C model object can be used in a Swift array property.
  • Array property accessors don't work until its parent object has been added to a realm.
  • Realm-Bridging-Header.h is temporarily exposed as a public header. This is temporary and will be private again once rdar://17633863 is fixed.
  • Does not leverage Swift generics and still uses RLM-prefix everywhere. This is coming in #549.
