Important notes (changes that may break existing code)
======================================================
* Officially now only supporting XE2 and forward. Support for pre XE2
may not be complete.
New stuff
=========
- Added support for RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo, including Linux support
(currently in beta)
Include new sample simpleinvocation LinuxServer demo.
- Officially now only supporting XE2 and forward. Support for pre XE2
may not be complete.
- Added RemoteLocationsPrimaryPart to
TkbmMWAuthorizationTransportConstraint (default false).
If set to true, will only compare primary part of
clientidentity.remotelocation.
Primary part is defined by everything up til the last ':'. In most cases
that will mean the IP address without the port number.
- Added IkbmMWLogFormatter interface to kbmMWLog.
- Added TkbmMWStandardLogFormatter to kbmMWLog. It contains vastly
improved features for
controlling the look and layout of the log output. Its the default
used log formatter.
- Added TkbmMWSimpleLogFormatter to kbmMWLog. It outputs a log with only
datetime,
type (info/warning/error/fatal etc) and log string.
- Added LogFormatter property to IkbmMWLogManager. It can be set to a
custom log formatter.
- Added mwldtRaw log data type and methods LogRaw to IkbmMWLog. It
allows for logging
bytes or strings without interpretation/reformatting.
- Added global SystemLog instance which will always output to system log
outputs.
It is used as a fallback in case the regular log system excepts.
- Added support for marshalling/unmarshalling named enum values via the
new kbmMW_Enum
attribute.
Its useful when an enum value cant be used as an identifier or its
value should be different
from its presented name.
- Added ExceptOnUnknownType to TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal. It controls if
to throw an exception
if an unknown type is accessed or not (default true).
- Added support for marshalling/unmarshalling TDictionary<K,V> types.
- Added support for correctly instantiating classes in unmarshalling
that contains a capacity
constructor argument.
- Added Run methods to TkbmMWScheduler. It allows for one time run and
forget scheduled async
code. They are used in the same way as the Schedule methods, but sets
Occurs to mwsoRun.
The job will be automatically unscheduled after the run.
- Added overloaded DelayInitial(const AInitialDelaySecs:double) to
IkbmMWScheduledEvent.
It allows for directly giving an initial delay in seconds. It supports
fractional second
values.
- Added Clear to TkbmMWScheduledEvents (scheduler.Events) to allow for
clearing all scheduled
events. Running events will be allowed to finish.
- Added GetNameSpaceByURI, DefaultNameSpace, DefaultNameSpaceURI to
TkbmMWDOMXMLNameSpaceList.
- Added SearchRelNodeByID, SearchNodeByID, SearchRelNodeByGivenName,
SearchNodeByGivenName
to IkbmMWDOMXMLParser.
- Added ExpandNameSpace, GivenName, ChildrenByGivenName, ChildByGivenName,
CheckChildByGivenName to TkbmMWDOMXMLNode.
- Added CheckNodeByGivenName, NodeByGivenName to TkbmMWXMLNodeList.
- Added missing ADSDBF support to kbmMWReg.
- Added
mwrtoOptionalInsert,mwrtoKeyNotNullInsert,mwrtoOptionalModify,mwrtoKeyNotNullModify,
mwrtoOptionalDelete,mwrtoKeyNotNullDelete and table modifier flags
OIM/OMI (optional insert/modify), OID/ODI (optional insert/delete),
OMD/ODM (optional modify/delete), OI (optional insert),
OD (optional delete), OM (optional modify),
KIM/KMI (insert/modify on key not null), KID/KDI (insert/delete on key
not null),
KMD/KDM (modify(delete on key not null), KI (insert on key not null),
KM (modify on key not null), KD (delete on key no null)
to TkbmMWResolverTableOption
They allow for more finegrained definition on when
insert/update/delete should happen.
If one of the optional (OIM,OMD,OID,OI,OD,OM) is given, no exception
will be raised for
the table when an operation did not succeed, and resolving will continue.
If one of the key (KIM,KMD,KID,KI,KM,KD) is given, record resolve
operation will be skipped
for the specific record if key is null.
- Added ReadBOM overloaded methods with default TEncoding option to
TkbmMWPlatformMarshal.
- Added overloaded kbmMWTextToString, kbmMWExpectText,
kbmMWStringRightPad, kbmMWStringLeftPad,
kbmMWGetComputerName functions to kbmMWGlobal.pas.
- Added optional ACallback anonymous function to SendAsyncRequest and
SendAsyncRequestEx in
kbmMWClient.pas (WIB only).
It allows for providing an anonymous function that should be called
when an async response
is returned. The function must follow this type:
function(Sender:TObject;
TransportStream:IkbmMWCustomTransportStream):boolean;
- Added LOB blob/clob support (user fix) to DOA adapter.
- Vastly improved XSD importer.

services, which
can be selected in the service wizard to create smart services. Smart
services
supports tagging any function to be exported to a smart client or a
REST client
(TkbmMWCustomHTTPSmartService required).
- Updated transports to support marshalling objects via the transport.
- Added several near lock free features to kbmMWGlobal, including
TkbmMWLockFreeStack,
more interlocked functions, lock free array GC fixes, optional
TkbmMWREWLock statistics,
support for TkbmMWMREWLock can switch to TMonitor for reader/writer
fair support.
- Optimized many algorithms like TkbmMWStringBuilder, TkbmMWGenerateGUID,
TkbmMWGenerateShortGUID and many more to improve performance overall.
- Added many new general purpose functions to kbmMWGlobal.

useful
for high performance RESTful applications.
- Added AutoRegisterServices method to TkbmMWServer which can be used
for automatically
locating and registering any service that has the kbmMW_Service
attribute defined.
It makes use of the old RegisterService and RegisterServiceByName
optional.
- Added LocalSinceEpochMS, UTCSinceEpochMS, Temporenc to TkbmMWDateTime.
Temporenc
is a very compact binary encoding of a datetime value.
- Added FastSetUTC method to TkbmMWDateTime to threadsafely very fast
setting
the UTC value of an already defined TkbmMWDateTime record. The record
MUST be initialized before using FastSetUTC, for example by
dt:=TkbmMWDateTime.Now;
- Added ValueToStream, ValueFromStream, ValueToBytes and ValueFromBytes in
TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal. Allows for easy marshalling objects to and
from bytes and streams.
- Added ExceptOnUnknownType boolean property to TkbmMWCustomRTTIMarshal.
Controls if an exception should be thrown in case a type cant be
marshalled or
unmarshalled, or it should be silently skipped.

- Added new GC and CloseAndGC methods in TkbmMWAMQPChannel to force
getting rid of
defunct/cached but unused AMQP channels.
- Added IPVersion property to TkbmMWCustomTCPIPIndyClientTransport.
- Split out all lockfree algorithms from kbmMWGlobal to kbmMWLockFree unit
to make kbmMWGlobal smaller, partly due to internal compiler errors.
- Fixed to default not inlining kbmMWMREWLock methods on 32 bit CPUs due to
unstable compiler which can result in F2084/C2491 error combinations.
- Moved all lockfree code to new kbmMWLockFree.pas unit.
