  • Improve performance of -[RLMArray indexOfObjectWhere:] and -[RLMArray indexOfObjectWithPredicate:], and implement them for standalone RLMArrays.
  • Improved performance of most simple queries.

Bugfixes

  • The interprocess notification mechanism no longer uses dispatch worker threads, preventing it from starving other GCD clients of the opportunity to execute blocks when dozens of Realms are open at once.

0.92.3 Release notes (2015-05-13)

API breaking changes

  • Swift: Results.average(_:) now returns an optional, which is nil if and only if the results set is empty.

Enhancements

  • Swift: Added List.invalidated, which returns if the given List is no longer safe to be accessed, and is analogous to -[RLMArray isInvalidated].

  • Linked objects are properly updated in createOrUpdateInRealm:withValue:.
  • List properties on Objects are now properly initialized during fast enumeration.

  • Speed up inserting objects with addObject: by ~20%.
  • readonly properties are automatically ignored rather than having to be added to ignoredProperties.

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.
  • Fixed initializing array properties on standalone Swift RLMObject subclasses.
  • Fix for queries on 64bit integers.

  • Now support disabling the autorefresh property on RLMRealm instances.
  • Building Realm-Xcode6 for iOS now builds a universal framework for Simulator & Device.
  • Using NSNumber properties (unsupported) now throws a more informative exception.
  • Added [RLMRealm defaultRealmPath]
  • 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 potential bug related to the handling of array properties (RLMArray).
  • 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 removing objects from a RLMArray property.
  • 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.
  • OSX framework now supported in CocoaPods.

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.
  • Fixed bug related to double clicking on a .realm file to launch the Realm Browser (thanks to Dean Moore).

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.
