This changelog summarizes new features and breaking changes in EdgeDB 1.0 beta 2 “Luyten”.
We’ve been working a lot on our migrations tools with the goal of improving the developer experience. Here’s a highlight of recent changes and fixes:
Fix sequence
default values getting lost after some
migrations (#2389).
Fix moving indexes around the type hierarchy (#2380).
Fix issues with renaming (#2353).
Fix an issue using a symbol defined in a WITH
block in SDL
(#2320).
Fix multiple issues with migrations to an empty schema (#2296).
Make it possible to add new values to enums
in
migrations (#2328).
Fix SDL handling of types with two or more indexes (#2301).
Fix a regression with array aliasing that made array aliases indistinguishable (#2287).
Fix a number of issues with constraints and provide better context information for constraint definition errors (#1370, #2250, #2305, #2307, #2311, #2410).
Fix DROP OWNED
on links and properties with defaults
(#2306).
Fix SET TYPE
on links and properties with constraints
(#2309).
Make sure sequence state gets included in dumps (#2441).
Implement functions to explicitly advance or reset a sequence value (#2508).
sequence_next()
returns the next value for the specified
sequence type.
sequence_reset()
resets the current value of the
specified sequence, the next call to sequence_next
will
return the next value in sequence.
Drop the deprecated Port
. The more general
extension mechanism introduced in
EdgeDB 1.0 beta 1 should be used (#2262).
Reduce the maximum length for names of databases and roles to 51 characters (#2465).
Enable br
(or rb
) as a valid bytes literal prefix
(#2332).
Enable DESCRIBE SCHEMA AS SDL
(#2481).
Support UNLESS CONFLICT ON
with two or more properties or links
(#1939).
This clause allows performing an alternative query when a conflict
due to a constraint occurs during an INSERT
:
INSERT Person { name := "Alice" }
UNLESS CONFLICT ON .name # If a Person with this name exists,
ELSE (SELECT Person) # select that existing Person instead.
Make min()
and max()
work more consistently
across all supported types (#1920).
Improve cardinality inference (#2097).
Disallow use of VOLATILE
functions in schema-defined computable
expressions (#2467).
Fix handling of collection types of non-builtin scalars in dumps (#2349).
Fix an issue with empty sets (i.e. {}
) inside set literals
(#2154).
Fix backward links when multiple types with the same link name exist (#2360).
Fix some serialization issues of shapes inside arrays and tuples (#1818).
Make sure DELETE also applies to all sub-types of the selected type (#2265).
We’ve added edgedb project init
command to help manage EdgeDB
credentials for your project. Running this in a new project directory
will setup an EdgeDB instance, create a schema and migrations
directory and link the credentials for that instance to the project
directory.

As the last line indicates it is no longer necessary to supply the
instance name explicitly to connect to the project instance, just
edgedb
will do the trick. This is also true for using any of
EdgeDB’s client libraries, the instance name is no longer required.
Existing projects can be converted to use this feature by simply
running edgedb project init
in the existing project’s directory:

Update the edgedb-python driver to v0.14.0.
Update the edgedb-js driver to v0.14.0.
Release Deno driver.
Implement with_transaction_options
and with_retry_options
from RFC 1004 for edgedb-python and edgedb-js.
These methods on the connection object allow obtaining a new connection with modified options.
