Revision history for DBIx::Class::Async

0.47 2026-01-22
     - [REFACTOR] Overhauled Row state management to use authoritative
       'in_storage' flags instead of guessing based on Primary Key presence.
     - [FIX] Resolved "Cannot update row: not in storage" errors in
       complex workflows by propagating storage state through recursive
       relationship inflation.
     - [REFACTOR] Centralized row inflation logic into Async.pm bridge to
       ensure consistent object creation across all ResultSet fetch paths.
     - [FIX] Updated find_or_new to correctly distinguish between persistent
       and transient objects.
     - [IMPROVE] Hardened Row and ResultSet against Mock objects in test
       suites by adding defensive metadata checks (can('columns')).
     - [OPTIMIZE] Improved search performance by only generating cache
       keys when caching is explicitly enabled.
     - [FIX] Ensure single-column primary keys are correctly merged during
       create() operations across all bridge drivers.

0.46 2026-01-22
     - [DOCS] Major documentation overhaul across the entire distribution.
     - [DOCS] Modernised SYNOPSIS for all core packages to utilise Future-based
       chaining (->then/->catch) instead of legacy blocking patterns:
        * DBIx::Class::Async
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Schema
        * DBIx::Class::Async::ResultSet
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Row
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Storage
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Storage::DBI
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Storage::DBI::Cursor
        * DBIx::Class::Async::Pager
        * DBIx::Class::Async::ResultComponent
     - [DOCS] Added practical examples for high-concurrency operations, including
       race-condition safe find_or_create and update_or_create.
     - [DOCS] Documented the "Smart Discovery" logic for unique constraints.
     - [DOCS] Improved technical clarity regarding synchronous metadata vs.
       asynchronous data retrieval in Pager and Row objects.
     - [DOCS] Demonstrated standard async patterns for recursive cursor iteration.

0.45 2026-01-22
     - [REFACTOR] Extracted unique constraint discovery into internal helper
       _extract_unique_lookup to unify logic across ResultSet operations.
     - [FEATURE] Refactored find_or_new to use Smart Discovery for lookups,
       improving search accuracy.
     - [FIX] Enhanced find_or_new to correctly strip "me." prefixes from
       ResultSet conditions when instantiating new result objects.
     - [FIX] Cleaned up find_or_create logic by utilising the new lookup
       helper and streamlining the race-condition recovery path.
     - [DOCS] Added POD documentation for internal _extract_unique_lookup method.
     - [FIX] Refactored update_or_create to utilise _extract_unique_lookup and
      implement atomic race-condition recovery.
    - [FIX] Corrected update_or_new behavior to properly return a volatile
      new_result object instead of persisting via create() on find failure.
    - [IMPROVEMENT] Standardised prefix stripping (me/self/foreign) in
      update_or_new to prevent invalid column crashes on filtered ResultSets.
    - [REFACTOR] Streamlined identity discovery across all upsert-style
      methods to ensure consistent unique key prioritisation.

0.44 2026-01-22
     - [FEATURE] Refactor find_or_create to be race-condition safe in
       asynchronous environments.
     - [IMPROVEMENT] Implement "Smart Discovery" for unique constraints;
       automatically identifies lookup columns if 'key' is not provided.
     - [FIX] Enhance Async.pm error propagation to correctly stringify
       DBIx::Class::Exception objects for the parent process.
     - [FIX] Ensure find_or_create handles the "Gap" between initial find
       and create by performing an atomic recovery find on conflict.
     - [FIX] Add missing $attrs propagation to find() in Async.pm to
       support complex recovery searches.

0.43  2026-01-22
      - Minor test cleanup.

0.42  2026-01-22
      - [MAJOR] Added DBIx::Class::Async::ResultComponent to provide
        non-blocking row-level update() and delete() methods.
      - [OPTIMISATION] Re-engineered ResultSet update() and delete() to use
        high-performance bulk SQL ("WHERE PK IN (...)") instead of
        individual N-queries.
      - [FEATURE] Added support for bulk update_bulk() and delete_all()
        respecting LIMIT and OFFSET attributes via ID-mapping.
      - [FIX] Silenced "Query returned more than one row" deprecation
        warnings by utilising search()->first() with explicit row limits
        in worker operations.
      - [FIX] Hardened the Bridge update() method to support hybrid return
        types: returns Row objects for single updates and row-counts
        for bulk updates.
      - [STABILITY] Improved IO::Async cleanup during Global Destruction
        to prevent "Notifier does not exist" warnings.
      - [INTERNAL] Added _check_response() and _merge_result_data()
        helpers to standardise error handling and row inflation.
      - [TESTS] Added 8 new test files (t/48 through t/55) covering
        bulk operations, row-level components, and internal safety guards.
