7.3.3

released on 2023-09-16

• 1324 Fix in the javers-spring-boot-starter-mongo config that prevents the Spring Boot exception: Field mongoProperties in org.javers.spring.boot.mongo.JaversMongoAutoConfiguration required a bean of type ‘org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.MongoProperties’ that could not be found.

7.3.0

released on 2023-07-17

• 1208 Fixed WriteConflict when using transactional MongoRepository. Writing to the head_id collection is now skipped when RANDOM commitId generator is selected. The fix requires enabling the RANDOM CommitId generator. RANDOM CommitId generator should always be used when multiple instances of Javers write to the same database.

  javers:
    commitIdGenerator: random
  

7.2.0

released on 2023-07-16

• 1306 Added posibility to configure properties as shallow references via EntityDefinitionBuilder. Usage:

• 1298 Guava version bump as Guava < 32.0 is marked as vulnerable to CVE-2023-2976.

7.0.0

released on 2023-04-24

1238 Added compatibility with Spring Boot 3.0.

Spring Boot 3.0 has moved forward and is no longer compatible with Java 8. Now, Spring Boot 3.0 requires Java 17 — so we all need to catch up.

Since Javers 7.0, all Javers Spring integration modules require Java 17:

• javers-spring
• javers-spring-jpa
• javers-spring-mongo
• javers-spring-boot-starter-mongo
• javers-spring-boot-starter-sql

Javers core and Javers persistence modules require Java 11:

• javers-core
• javers-persistence-mongo
• javers-persistence-sql:

The last version of Javers that is compatible with Java 8 and Spring Boot 2 is 6.14.0.
We strongly recommend to upgrade to Javers 7.x. You can still use Javers 6.14.0, but the 6.x line is frozen and no longer supported.

Migration from Javers 6.x to Javers 7.x

• No actions required from the Javer’s perspective.
• A friendly reminder if you are upgrading to Java 17 — the built-in javax.persistence package disappeared and should be replaced with the jakarta.persistence package from jakarta.persistence:jakarta.persistence-api:3.0.0.

6.14.0

released on 2023-03-31

• 1230 Fixed bug in JaversBuilder. Scanned classes were ignoring custom value comparators for their properties.

6.13.0

released on 2023-03-22

• 1252 The internal GSON config is tuned to better map numeric values with Object type.

6.12.0

released on 2023-03-17

• 1257 Added option for implementing application-Layer encryption of Snapshot State in SQL repository. See usage in Case1257ApplicationLayerEncryption.groovy

6.10.0

released on 2023-02-17

• 1254 Added possibility to disable the schema management in Mongo Repository. Usage:

        MongoRepository mongoRepository = new MongoRepository(getMongoDb(),
                mongoRepositoryConfiguration()
                        .withSchemaManagementEnabled(false)
                        .build())
    
  

  See also MongoE2EWithSchemaEnabledTest.groovy

• 1261 Added possibility to set Mongo Repository parameters: snapshotCollectionName, headCollectionName, and schemaManagementEnabled via Spring boot configuration.

  Example usage in `application.yml:

    javers:
      snapshotCollectionName: "jv_custom_snapshots"
      headCollectionName: "jv_custom_head_id"
      schemaManagementEnabled: false
  

7.0.0-RC3

released on 2023-02-03

• RC for 7.0.0

6.9.1

released on 2023-02-01

• 1254 Added possibility to customize the HEAD collection name in MongoRepository.

  Usage:

        MongoRepository mongoRepository = new MongoRepository(getMongoDb(),
                        mongoRepositoryConfiguration()
                                .withSnapshotCollectionName("jv_custom_snapshots")
                                .withHeadCollectionName("jv_custom_head_id")
                                .build())

released on 2021-11-23

• 1160 Fixed IllegalStateException when calling Changes.groupByCommit() created by Javers.compare().

• 1075 Added a new feature which allows CustomValueComparators to handle nulls:

public interface CustomValueComparator<T> {
 
  ...

  /**
   * This flag is used to indicate to Javers whether
   * a comparator implementation wants to handle nulls.
   *
   * By default, the flag is false and Javers
   * checks if both values are non-null before calling a comparator.
   * If any of given values is null &mdash; Javers compares them using the
   * standard Java logic:
   *   * null == null
   *   * null != non-null
   *
   * If the flag is true &mdash; Javers skips that logic and
   * allows a comparator to handle nulls on its own.
   * In that case, a comparator holds responsibility for null-safety.
   *
   * @see NullAsBlankStringComparator
   */
  default boolean handlesNulls() {
    return false;
  }
}

def "should query for entity with commit properties IN list"() {
  given:
  javers.commit('author', new SnapshotEntity(id: 1, intProperty: 2), [name: 'Steve'])
  javers.commit('author', new SnapshotEntity(id: 1, intProperty: 3), [name: 'John'])

  when:
  def snapshots = javers.findSnapshots(byInstanceId(1, SnapshotEntity)
          .withCommitPropertyIn('name', ['Steve', 'Bill'])
          .build())

  then:
  snapshots.size() == 1
  snapshots[0].getPropertyValue("intProperty") == 2
}

6.4.0

released on 2021-10-16

• 1094 Provided access to old and new Collection, Array, and Map values within CollectionChange, ArrayChange, and MapChange types. For example:

    given:
    def s = new SnapshotEntity(id:1, listOfIntegers : [1,2])
    javers.commit('author', s)
    
    s.listOfIntegers = [2,4]
    javers.commit('author', s)

    when:
    def changes = javers.findChanges(byInstanceId(1, SnapshotEntity).build())
    println(changes.prettyPrint())

    then:
    ListChange change = changes[0]
    change.left instanceof List
    change.left == [1,2]
    change.right instanceof List
    change.right == [2,4]
}

    ...
}

or

@JaversAuditableConditionalDelete
DummyEntity deleteById(String id) {
    ...
}

• 1055 Fixed MalformedJsonException on Oracle.

6.0.1

released on 2021-04-07

1082 Changes in Spring dependencies management.
In order to lower the risk of versions clash between dependencies required by Javers’ and dependencies required by an application (you), all Spring dependencies in Javers’ artifacts are marked as optional.

It means that Spring and Spring Boot versions are now managed only by an application:

javers-spring-boot-starter-mongo dependencies:

    optional "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb:$springBootVersion"
    optional "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor:$springBootVersion"

javers-spring-boot-starter-sql dependencies:

    optional "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:$springBootVersion"
    optional "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor:$springBootVersion"

6.0.0

released on 2021-04-05

Javers 6.0 comes with the important upgrade of the diff algorithm:

We have redesigned the Javers’ core algorithm — the object diff. Now, it gives better, more meaningful, and consistent results in both Javers.compare() and Javers.findChanges().

The new approach improves the diff results for New and Removed Objects thanks to the explicitly modeled and unified concepts of Initial and Terminal Changes.

Now, Javers generates additional set of Initial Changes for each property of a New Object to capture its state. Internally, Javers calculates Initial Changes by comparing a virtual, totally empty object with a real New Object.

Symmetrically, additional set of Terminal Changes is generated for each property of a Removed Object.

For example, consider the case when a Value Object is added:

def diff = javers.compare(
    new Employee(id: "1", address: null),
    new Employee(id: "1", address: new Address(street: "x", city:"Paris"))
)

println diff.prettyPrint()

Javers 5.x calculates a diff without information about the state of the new Address:

Diff:
* new object: org.javers.core.Sample$Employee/1#address
* changes on org.javers.core.Sample$Employee/1 :
  - 'address' reference changed from '' to '...Sample$Employee/1#address'

Javers 6.x calculates the essentially better diff:

Diff:
* changes on org.javers.core.NewObjectChangesE2ETest$Employee/1 :
  - 'address.city' = 'Paris'
  - 'address.street' = 'x'

So, in Javers 6.0, Value Objects (like Address) are treated more like containers for nested properties owned by Entities and less like objects with their own indentity and type.

Calculating Initial and Terminal Changes is enabled by default. You can disable it using JaversBuilder.withTerminalChanges() and JaversBuilder.withInitialChanges(),

or in application.yml, if you are using Javers Spring Boot:

 javers:
   initialChanges: false
   terminalChanges: false
 

See the Initial Changes example.
See JaversBuilder.withInitialChanges() javadoc.

All features and improvements added in Javers 6.0

• 822 Fixed problem with paging in Shadow queries.
  Now, QueryBuilder.skip() and QueryBuilder,limit() works intuitively in both Javers.findShadows() and Javers.findShadowsAndStream().
  Both query methods are unified and generate the same results (now, findShadows() is only the facade for findShadowsAndStream()).
  See the Limit example. and QueryBuilder.limit() javadoc.

• More pretty and concise Changes.prettyPrint(), see the changelog example.
  

• The new Changes.devPrint() method for printing Changes in a technical style.

• New or removed Value Objects no longer generate NewObject, ObjectRemoved, nor ReferenceChange. These changes were considered rather useless. Instead, a state of a new or removed Value Object is captured by Initial and Terminal Changes.

• New or removed Entities always generate NewObject/ObjectRemoved changes (it can’t be disabled).

• The javers.newObjectSnapshot flag is renamed to javers.initialChanges and it’s enabled by default.

• The javers.terminalChanges flag is added, and it’s enabled by default.

• In Javers.findChanges(), a NewObject change is always generated for each initial Snapshot, it can’t be disabled by the javers.initialChanges flag.

• The QueryBuilder.withNewObjectChanges() method is deprecated and has no effect.

• 911 Minor bug fixed, this WARNING is no longer shown: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred.

• 1077 Added support for Composite Id with the IdClass annotation.

** Important warning for Spring Boot MongoDB users!**

This version of Javers has all dependencies aligned with Spring Boot MongoDB 2.3.0 which has upgraded to MongoDB Java Drivers 4.x. Unfortunately, Mongo Drivers 4.x has a lot of problematic and braking changes, especially renaming com.mongodb.MongoClient to com.mongodb.client.MongoClient (see mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/4.0/upgrading) .

If you have explicit dependency to org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver:3.x — remove it and rely on Mongo 4.x drivers provided by a Spring Boot MongoDB starter.

If you are using old Spring Boot version (2.1 or older) — you need to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.3.0, otherwise you will probably experience versions clash between your Spring Boot version, and the Spring Boot version imported by the Javers starter.

• 982 Fixed issue with MongoClient on on Spring Boot 2.3.0.

Dependencies aligned with Spring Boot 2.3.0:

springVersion           =5.2.6.RELEASE
springBootVersion       =2.3.0.RELEASE

5.9.4

released on 2020-06-15

** Important for Spring Boot MongoDB users**

This is the last version of Javers compatible with Spring Boot MongoDB 2.1.x and 2.2.x

• 981 Added @Arder(0) annotation to all Javers’ aspects. This change allows users to execute their own aspects before or after Javers’ aspects (by choosing positive ot negative order numbers).

5.9.1

released on 2020-05-26

• 973 Fixed strange bug in Gradle build: index 9730 out of bounds for length 8192 caused probably by classgraph 4.8.66.

5.9.0

released on 2020-05-03

• 962 Changes in dedicated Mongo database configuration in JaVers Spring Boot starter for MongoDB. Additional client’s properties (like SSL or timeouts) should now be provided using the new MongoClientSettings API (instead of deprecated MongoClientOptions API). For example:

@Bean("javersMongoClientSettings")
public MongoClientSettings clientSettings() {
    return MongoClientSettings.builder()
            .applyToSslSettings(builder -> builder.enabled(true))
            .applyToSocketSettings(
                builder -> builder.connectTimeout(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS))
            .build();
}

5.8.13

released on 2020-04-07

• 948 Better support for properties with unknown types (with type tokens), like:

class Pair<L, R> {
        L left;
        R right;
}

• All JaVers’ dependencies are bumped to the latest versions:

springVersion           =5.2.5.RELEASE
springBootVersion       =2.2.6.RELEASE
springDataCommonsVersion=2.2.6.RELEASE
springDataMongoVersion  =2.2.6.RELEASE

springSecurityVersion   =5.3.1.RELEASE
mongoDbDriverVersion    =3.11.2
hibernateVersion        =5.4.12.Final
guavaVersion            =28.2-jre
gsonVersion             =2.8.6
classgraphVersion       =4.8.66
jodaVersion             =2.10.5
polyjdbcVersion         =0.7.6
aspectjweaverVersion    =1.9.5
slf4jApiVersion         =1.7.28
jbossTransactionApiVersion=1.1.1.Final

5.8.12

released on 2020-03-31

• 951 Dependencies management fix in javers-core. Guava and joda-time are now correctly marked as optional in pom.xml.

5.8.11

released on 2020-03-08

• 915 Added experimental asynchronous audit aspect for non Spring Data repositories. The aspect asynchronously commits all arguments passed to methods annotated with @JaversAuditableAsync annotation by calling Javers.commitAsync(String, Object, Executor).

Usage:

@Repository
class DummyAuditedAsyncRepository {

    @JaversAuditableAsync
    void save(DummyObject obj){
      //... omitted
    }
}

Spring config:

/**
 * Enables asynchronous auto-audit aspect for ordinary repositories.<br/>
 *
 * Use {@link JaversAuditableAsync}
 * to mark repository methods that you want to audit.
 */
@Bean
public JaversAuditableAspectAsync javersAuditableAspectAsync() {
    return new JaversAuditableAspectAsync(javers(), authorProvider(), commitPropertiesProvider(), javersAsyncAuditExecutor());
}

@Bean
public ExecutorService javersAsyncAuditExecutor() {
    ThreadFactory threadFactory = new ThreadFactoryBuilder()
            .setNameFormat("JaversAuditableAsync-%d")
            .build();
    return Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2, threadFactory);
}

See the full test case.

5.8.10

released on 2020-02-26

• 938 Fixed bug in custom TypeAdapters priorities.

5.8.9

released on 2020-02-07

• 935 Fixed ClassCastException: MissingProperty cannot be cast to java.lang.Double
  when using CustomValueComparator.

5.8.8

released on 2020-01-18

• 933 Extend Spring props to allow setting size or disabling the latest snapshots cache for MongoDB.

javers:
  snapshotsCacheSize: 100

5.8.7

released on 2019-12-13

• 921 Added support for deleting by Id with the @JaversAuditableDelete aspect:

@JaversAuditableDelete(entity = DummyEntity)
void deleteById(String id) {    
    ...
}

5.8.6

released on 2019-12-06

• 925 Fixed bug which caused CustomValueComparator not being invoked for ZonedDateTime.

5.8.5

released on 2019-11-10

• 910 Fixed ConcurrentModificationException in MongoDB MapKeyDotReplacer.

5.8.4

released on 2019-11-04

• 897 Added warning when @TypeName is used on a class without declaring its package name in packagesToScan. Improved javadocs for TypeName and JaversBuilder.withPackagesToScan().

07:12:58.253 [main] WARN  o.j.core.metamodel.type.UnknownType - Missing class definition with @TypeName 'Agreement', 
cant't properly deserialize its Snapshots from JaversRepository.
To fix this issue provide the fully-qualified package name of the class named 'Agreement' in the packagesToScan property.

5.8.3

released on 2019-11-02

• 878 Added property to disabling Global Id cache in SQL repository when using JaVers Spring Boot starter:

javers:
  sqlGlobalIdCacheDisabled: true

• 709 Added property to provide custom implementation of the ObjectAccessHook when using JaVers Spring Boot starter:

javers:
  objectAccessHook: com.example.MyObjectAccessHook

• 886 Fixed bug causing JsonSyntaxException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING. The exception was thrown on attempt to read Shadows with a ShallowReference with EmbeddedId (a ShallowReference with an Id-property type mapped to Value Object).

5.8.2

released on 2019-10-23

• 894 Better Shadows sorting. Using SYNCHRONIZED_SEQUENCE CommitId generator for distributed apps can cause duplicated CommitId. In this fix, Shadows sorting is unified to be based on CommitDateInstant for both CommitId generators.

• Removed throwing CANT_SAVE_ALREADY_PERSISTED_COMMIT in SQL repository. It was thrown only in some scenarios when SYNCHRONIZED_SEQUENCE generator was used, not ensuring the full protections against duplicated CommitId.
  After this fix, duplicated CommitIds when using SYNCHRONIZED_SEQUENCE generator are considered as not harmful (although not elegant). To ensure unique CommitIds for distributed apps we recommend switching to RANDOM generator (when your app runs more than one Javers instance).

5.8.1

released on 2019-10-21

Custom comparators reinvented

Now, a CustomValueComparator has to implement the toString(T value) method, which is used instead of Object.hashCode() when Values are compared in hashing contexts. Thanks to that, Values with Custom comparators can be correctly compared anywhere, also when they are Set items, Map keys or fields in Value Objects inside Sets.

public interface CustomValueComparator<T> {
     boolean equals(T a, T b);
     
     String toString(T value);
}

Existing method for registering Custom Value comparators is deprecated and left only for backward compatibility. Please switch to the new method.

/**
 * <b>Deprecated</b>, use {@link #registerValue(Class, CustomValueComparator)}.
 *
 * <br/><br/>
 *
 * Since this comparator is not aligned with {@link Object#hashCode()},
 * it calculates incorrect results when a given Value is used in hashing context
 * (when comparing Sets with Values or Maps with Values as keys).
 *
 * @see CustomValueComparator
 */
@Deprecated
public <T> JaversBuilder registerValue(Class<T> valueClass, BiFunction<T, T, Boolean> equalsFunction) {
    Validate.argumentsAreNotNull(valueClass, equalsFunction);

    return registerValue(valueClass, new CustomValueComparator<T>() {
        @Override
        public boolean equals(T a, T b) {
            return equalsFunction.apply(a,b);
        }

        @Override
        public String toString(@Nonnull T value) {
            return value.toString();
        }
    });
}

The same applies to CustomPropertyComparator, it also have to implement toString(T value) because it extends CustomValueComparator.

This is the breaking change, if you are using a CustomPropertyComparator you have add toString(T value) implementation.

public interface CustomPropertyComparator<T, C extends PropertyChange>
    extends CustomValueComparator<T> 
{
    Optional<C> compare(T left, T right, PropertyChangeMetadata metadata, Property property);
} 

Since this version, we stop recommending CustomPropertyComparators and Custom Types. This warning is added to docs:

Custom Types are not easy to manage, use it as a last resort,<br/>
only for corner cases like comparing custom Collection types.</b>

In most cases, it's better to customize the Javers' diff algorithm using
much more simpler `CustomValueComparator`.

See updated documentation of Custom comparators.

5.7.7

released on 2019-10-03

• 888 Fixed bug (introduced in 5.2.5) when comparing SortedSet and SortedMap.

5.7.6

released on 2019-09-28

• 887 Fixed bug (introduced in 5.7.2) which was causing SQL_EXCEPTION ORA-00917: missing comma while inserting to jv_snapshot on Oracle.

5.7.5

released on 2019-09-25

• Dependencies bumped to the latest versions:

  slf4jApiVersion         =1.7.28
  jbossTransactionApiVersion=1.1.1.Final
  

5.7.4

released on 2019-09-19

• 832 Added possibility to use CustomPropertyComparator together with ListCompareAlgorithm.AS_SET. A custom equals() methods is used to compare two Lists without paying attention to ordering and duplicates. Warning! The list comparing algorithm would be slow in this case for large lists because it has n² complexity.

5.7.2

released on 2019-09-11

• 877 Fixed issue with the jv_snapshot table primary key sequence for clustered applications. The sequence allocation trick for the jv_snapshot table is discontinued. To maintain backward compatibility, since this version, numbers genereted by the jv_snapshot primary key sequence are multiplied by 100.

5.7.0

released on 2019-09-03

• 870 Added possibility to provide object-specific properties via CommitPropertiesProvider. No-arg provide() is deprecated. These three methods are added:

    public interface CommitPropertiesProvider {
      
        default Map<String, String> provideForCommittedObject(Object domainObject) {
            return Collections.emptyMap();
        }
          
        default Map<String, String> provideForDeletedObject(Object domainObject) {
            return provideForCommittedObject(domainObject);
        }
          
        default Map<String, String> provideForDeleteById(Class<?> domainObjectClass, Object domainObjectId) {
            return Collections.emptyMap();
        }
        
        ...
  

5.6.3

released on 2019-08-02

• 864 All Spring dependencies are updated. This update is forced by security vulnerability issues in spring-security and spring-data-jpa.

• 860 Fixed SNAPSHOT_STATE_VIOLATION exception when a getter was inherited both from a superclass and an interface.

• 774 Added more descriptive message for SNAPSHOT_STATE_VIOLATION exception.

5.6.2

released on 2019-07-06

• 826 Fixed bug in SQL JaversRepository when DB schema name was configured. The bug was causing: Error on PostgreSQL: relation "jv_commit" already exists.

5.6.1

released on 2019-07-01

• 855 Fixed bug in RANDOM CommitIdGenerator.

5.6.0

released on 2019-06-13

• 694 Added possibility in JaVers MongoDB starter to configure a dedicated Mongo database, which is used by Javers. See JaversRepository configuration.

• 775 Fixed issue: Spring Boot stops when SQL Schema Manager can’t establish the connection.

• 851 Fixed exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.javers.core.metamodel.property.MissingProperty cannot be cast to class java.util.List.

5.5.2

released on 2019-05-23

• 842 Fixed bug in query with CommitId on Oracle.

5.5.1

released on 2019-05-18

• 839 Fixed NPE in OptionalType.items().

5.5.0

released on 2019-05-18

• Breaking changes in CustomPropertyComparator and constructors of all PropertyChange subclasses. CustomPropertyComparator interface is changed from:

  public interface CustomPropertyComparator<T, C extends PropertyChange> {
    
      Optional<C> compare(T left, T right, GlobalId affectedId, Property property);
              
      ...
  }
  

  to:

  public interface CustomPropertyComparator<T, C extends PropertyChange> {
      
      Optional<C> compare(T left, T right, PropertyChangeMetadata metadata, Property property);
        
      ...
  }
  

  PropertyChange objects that are produced by comparators now accept PropertyChangeMetadata in constructors, for example:

  public class CustomBigDecimalComparator implements CustomPropertyComparator<BigDecimal, ValueChange> {
  ...
  
  @Override
  public Optional<ValueChange> compare(BigDecimal left, BigDecimal right, PropertyChangeMetadata metadata, Property property)
  {
      if (equals(left, right)){
          return Optional.empty();
      }
   
      return Optional.of(new ValueChange(metadata, left, right));
  }
  
  ...
  }
  

• 830 & 834 Important new feature in PropertyChange. It gained the new enum, which allows to distinguish between ordinary null values and the case when a property is added/removed after refactoring:

  /**
    * When two objects being compared have different classes,
    * they can have different sets of properties.
    * <br/>
    * When both objects have the same class, all changes have PROPERTY_VALUE_CHANGED type.
    */
   public enum PropertyChangeType {
     
       /**
        * When a property of the right object is absent in the left object.
        */
       PROPERTY_ADDED,
     
       /**
        * When a property of the left object is absent in the right object.
        */
       PROPERTY_REMOVED,
     
       /**
        * Regular value change &mdash; when a property is present in both objects.
        */
       PROPERTY_VALUE_CHANGED
   }
     
  

  The new enum can be checked using these four new methods in PropertyChange:

  public abstract class PropertyChange extends Change {
      ...
        
      public PropertyChangeType getChangeType() {
          return changeType;
      }
    
      public boolean isPropertyAdded() {
          return changeType == PropertyChangeType.PROPERTY_ADDED;
      }
    
      public boolean isPropertyRemoved() {
          return changeType == PropertyChangeType.PROPERTY_REMOVED;
      }
    
      public boolean isPropertyValueChanged() {
          return changeType == PropertyChangeType.PROPERTY_VALUE_CHANGED;
      }
  }
  

• 837 Fixed bug in SQL JaversRepository for Oracle and MS SQL databases.

5.4.0

released on 2019-05-11

• 625 Composite-Id is now available in JaVers. Multiple properties can be mapped with @Id, and the localId is constructed as a Map.

    class Person {
        @Id String name
        @Id String surname
        @Id LocalDate dob
        int data
    }

    def "should support Composite Id assembled from Values"(){
        given:
        def first  = new Person(name: "mad", surname: "kaz", dob: LocalDate.of(2019,01,01), data: 1)
        def second = new Person(name: "mad", surname: "kaz", dob: LocalDate.of(2019,01,01), data: 2)

        when:
        javers.commit("author", first)
        javers.commit("author", second)
        def snapshot = javers.getLatestSnapshot(
                [
                    name: "mad",
                    surname: "kaz",
                    dob: LocalDate.of(2019,01,01)
                ],
                Person).get()

        then:
        snapshot.globalId.value().endsWith("Person/2019,1,1,mad,kaz")
        snapshot.globalId.cdoId == "2019,1,1,mad,kaz"
        snapshot.getPropertyValue("name") == "mad"
        snapshot.getPropertyValue("surname") == "kaz"
        snapshot.getPropertyValue("dob") == LocalDate.of(2019,01,01)
        snapshot.getPropertyValue("data") == 2
        snapshot.changed == ["data"]
    }

released on 2019-02-23

• 789 Fixed “error calling Constructor for CustomType” when CustomPropertyComparator is registered for Value’s parent class.

5.2.0

released on 2019-02-16

• 751 New aspect annotation @JaversAuditableDelete for triggering commitShallowDelete() with each method argument.

• 765 Fixed bug in persisting commitDateInstant in SQL database.

5.1.0

released on 2018-12-30

• 743 commitDateInstant added to CommitMetadata:

5.0.0

released on 2018-12-01

• JaVers’ Spring integration modules are upgraded to be fully compatible with Spring 5.1 and Spring Boot 2.1.
  

  If you are using Spring 5.x, it’s recommended to use JaVers 5.x. Otherwise you can fall into dependencies version conflict.
  

  Current versions of dependencies:

springVersion            = 5.1.2.RELEASE
springBootVersion        = 2.1.0.RELEASE
springDataCommonsVersion = 2.1.2.RELEASE
springDataMongoVersion   = 2.1.2.RELEASE
springDataJPAVersion     = 2.1.2.RELEASE
springSecurityVersion    = 5.1.1.RELEASE
mongoDbDriverVersion     = 3.8.2
hibernateVersion         = 5.3.7.Final   

Since now, the last JaVers version compatible with Spring 4 is 3.14.0.

• 747 Two breaking changes in CustomPropertyComparator. Now, it has to implement boolean equals(a, b) method, which is used by JaVers to calculate collection-to-collection diff. Return type of compare(...) method is changed to Optional. See updated examples and doc.

public interface CustomPropertyComparator<T, C extends PropertyChange> {
    /**
     * This comparator is called by JaVers to calculate property-to-property diff.
     */
    Optional<C> compare(T left, T right, GlobalId affectedId, Property property);

    /**
     * This comparator is called by JaVers to calculate collection-to-collection diff.
     */
    boolean equals(T a, T b);
}

• 746 Added default comparator for raw Collections. Previously, raw Collections were ignored by JaVers, now, they are converted to Lists and then compared as Lists.

• 738 Added DBRefUnproxyObjectAccessHook to support lazy @DBRef from Spring Data MongoDB. The hook is registered automatically in javers-spring-boot-starter-mongo.

3.14.0

released on 2018-11-10

• All SQL queries are rewritten using the new, faster JaVers SQL framework. Poly JDBC is no longer used for queries (but is still used to schema management). Thanks to that, performance of JaVers commits with SQL repo is significantly better, especially when committing large object graphs.

• Experimental support for DB2 and DB2400 is discontinued.

3.12.4

released on 2018-10-27

• 690 Fixed — missing property in *.yml to set SQL database schema name.

3.12.3

released on 2018-10-25

• 688 Fixed — missing property in *.yml to set CommitIdGenerator.

3.12.1

released on 2018-10-19

• 724 Fixed issue when deserializing Diff from JSON.

3.12.0

released on 2018-10-19

• 593 Asynchronous commit:

CompletableFuture<Commit> commitAsync(String author, Object currentVersion, Executor executor);

3.11.7

released on 2018-10-11

• 723 Added possibility to load Snapshots even if user’s class is removed. Prevents JaversException TYPE_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

3.11.6

released on 2018-07-10

• 687 Additional advices for Spring Data Jpa Aspect.

3.10.1

released on 2018-07-07

• 682 Fixed JaVers bootstrap error — COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND: JaVers bootstrap error - component of type ‘org.javers.core.CommitIdGenerator’

3.10.0

released on 2018-06-22

• Stream API for Shadow queries — javers.findShadowsAndStream(). Using Stream.skip() and Stream.limit() is the only correct way for paging Shadows (see 658). See the example in ShadowStreamExample.java.

Stream<Shadow<Employee>> shadows = javers.findShadowsAndStream(
        QueryBuilder.byInstanceId("Frodo", Employee.class).build());

//then
Employee employeeV5 = shadows.filter(shadow -> shadow.getCommitId().getMajorId() == 5)
       .map(shadow -> shadow.get())
       .findFirst().orElse(null);

• 650 @DiffIgnore and @DiffInclude annotations can mixed now in one class. When @DiffInclude is used in a class, JaVers ignores @DiffIgnore or @Transient annotations in that class.

3.9.7

• 660 Fixed bug in Shadow query runner.

3.9.1

released on 2018-04-19

                        .build();

3.9.0

released on 2018-04-11

• New API for processing Changes, convenient for formatting a change log. Now you can group changes by commits and by objects. See Changes.groupByCommit(). For example:

Changes changes = javers.findChanges(QueryBuilder.byClass(Employee.class)
        .withNewObjectChanges().build());
     
changes.groupByCommit().forEach(byCommit -> {
  System.out.println("commit " + byCommit.getCommit().getId());
  byCommit.groupByObject().forEach(byObject -> {
    System.out.println("  changes on " + byObject.getGlobalId().value() + " : ");
    byObject.get().forEach(change -> {
      System.out.println("  - " + change);
    });
  });
});

• Fixed bug in queryForChanges(), which could cause NPE in some corner cases. Especially, for complex graphs with multiple levels of nested Value Objects.

• 519 Added index on Entity typeName in MongoDB.

3.7.6

released on 2017-12-09

• 614 Custom toString function. Ismael Gomes Costa contributed the method for registering toString function for complex ValueTypes used as Entity Id. See javadoc for JaversBuilder.registerValueWithCustomToString().

3.7.5

released on 2017-12-01

• Shadow queries performance optimization. Less DB queries executed for each Deep+ query.

• Changes in Shadow Scopes. Now, JaVers always loads child ValueObjects owned by selected Entities. So there is no need to call QueryBuilder.withChildValueObjects(). See javadoc for ShadowScope.

• Shadow queries execution statistics logger. Enable it:

    <logger name="org.javers.JQL" level="DEBUG"/>

and you will get detailed logs from query execution, for example:

DEBUG org.javers.JQL - SHALLOW query: 1 snapshots loaded (entities: 1, valueObjects: 0)
DEBUG org.javers.JQL - DEEP_PLUS query for '...SnapshotEntity/2' at commitId 3.0, 1 snapshot(s) loaded, gaps filled so far: 1
DEBUG org.javers.JQL - warning: object '...SnapshotEntity/3' is outside of the DEEP_PLUS+1 scope, references to this object will be nulled. Increase maxGapsToFill and fill all gaps in your object graph.
DEBUG org.javers.JQL - queryForShadows executed:
JqlQuery {
  IdFilter{ globalId: ...SnapshotEntity/1 }
  QueryParams{ aggregate: true, limit: 100 }
  ShadowScopeDefinition{ shadowScope: DEEP_PLUS, maxGapsToFill: 1 }
  Stats{
    executed in millis: 12
    DB queries: 2
    all snapshots: 2
    SHALLOW snapshots: 1
    DEEP_PLUS snapshots: 1
    gaps filled: 1
    gaps left!: 1
  }
}

Statistics are also available in Stats object that you can get from an executed query:

Stats stats = jqlQuery.stats();

3.7.0

released on 2017-11-24

• 605 Compare Lists as Sets. New List comparing algorithm contributed by drakin. See List comparing algorithms

• 601 Fixed bug in the type mapping algorithm. In this case, an Entity with complex inheritance structure was mapped as Value.

3.6.3

released on 2017-11-13

• Changes in Shadow Scopes. Commit-deep+ is renamed to Deep+. See javadoc for ShadowScope. Now, deep+ scope doesn’t include commit-deep scope. They are independent scopes.

3.6.2

released on 2017-11-01

• New SnapshotType filter in JQL. Allows selecting snapshots by type: INITIAL, UPDATE, TERMINAL. See QueryBuilder.withSnapshotType().

• Improved exception handling in byInstance query.

3.6.1

• Fix for ValueObject loading in Shadow queries. See updated docs of Shadow scopes.

3.6.0

released on 2017-10-05

• 431 Auto-audit aspect also on JpaRepository.saveAndFlush().

This task forced a major refactoring.

Javers-spring module was split into two parts:

• javers-spring with general purpose auto-audit aspect and auto-audit aspect for Spring Data CrudRepository.
• javers-spring-jpa — a superset of javers-spring — with JPA & Hibernate integration, so: auto-audit aspect for Spring Data JpaRepository, HibernateUnproxyObjectAccessHook, JpaHibernateConnectionProvider, and JaversTransactionalDecorator.

If you are using JaVers with MongoDB, you don’t need to change anything.

If you are using JaVers with SQL but without Spring Boot, you need to change the javers-spring dependency to javers-spring-jpa. If you are using Spring Boot with our starter (javers-spring-boot-starter-sql), you don’t need to change anything. Our starters always provide the right configuration.

3.5.2

released on 2017-10-05

• 574 Added missing support for @PropertyName in Shadows.

3.5.1

released on 2017-09-24

polyjdbcVersion=0.7.1
aspectjweaverVersion=1.8.6

3.5.0

released on 2017-07-30

• 497 Fix in PolyJDBC for MsSql, deprecated TEXT column type changed to VARCHAR(MAX)

3.3.0

released on 2017-06-21 at Devoxx PL, Cracow

• Added possibility to register a CustomValueComparator function for comparing ValueTypes (it works also for Values stored in Lists, Arrays and Maps). Solved issues: 492, 531.

For example, BigDecimals are (by default) ValueTypes compared using BigDecimal.equals(). Now, you can compare them in the smarter way, ignoring trailing zeros:

 javersBuilder.registerValue(BigDecimal.class, (a,b) -> a.compareTo(b) == 0);

3.0.0 — Java 8 release

released on 2017-02-01

We rewrote whole JaVers’ code base from Java 7 to 8.
Now, JaVers is lighter, faster, and more friendly for Java 8 users.

Breaking changes

• All javers-core classes like: Change, Commit, or CdoSnapshot now use standard Java 8 types java.util.Optional and java.time.LocalDateTime.

• The old good Joda Time is no longer used in javers-core but still supported in users’ objects.

• JaVers’ Optional is removed.

• All @Deprecated methods in public API are removed.

• Since 3.0, JaVers is not runnable on Java 7 Runtime. If you still use Java 7, stay with version, which will be maintained for a while, but only for bug fixing.

2.0.0

released on 2016-06-09

JaVers 2.0 comes with major improvements and new features in JQL.

Unified semantics of changes and snapshot queries
In JaVers 2.0, change queries work in the same way as snapshot queries and change queries accept all filters.

For example, in JaVers 1.x, this change query:

javers.findChanges(QueryBuilder.byInstanceId(Person.class,1).withVersion(5).build());

returns empty list, which is not very useful.

In JaVers 2.0 this query returns changes introduced by the selected snapshot, so changes between versions 4 and 5 of a given object.

JaVers implements change queries on the top of snapshot queries. Change sets are recalculated as a difference between subsequent pairs of snapshots fetched from a JaversRepository. In 1.x, only explicitly selected snapshots are involved in the recalculation algorithm. In 2.0, for each snapshot selected by a user query, JaVers implicitly fetches previous snapshot (if needed). Thanks to that, change queries are far more useful and they work as you could expect.

New features

• New query for any domain object. See any domain object query example.

• #334 New JQL author() filter. See author filter example.

• #305 New JQL commitProperty() filter. See commit property filter example.

• #375 Added support for commit properties in auto-audit aspect. See CommitPropertiesProvider.

SQL Schema migration

JaVers 2.0 comes with the new database schema for SQL repository:

• table jv_cdo_class is no longer used
• new column jv_global_id.type_name
• new column jv_snapshot.managed_name
• new table jv_commit_property

JaVers automatically launches a data migration script when old schema is detected. Data from jv_cdo_class are copied to new columns (jv_global_id.type_name and jv_snapshot.managed_name). It should take a few seconds for medium size tables but for very large tables it could be time consuming.

Breaking changes
The only one breaking change is new semantics of changes query which is actually an improvement.

If you are using SQL repository, and your jv_snapshot table is large (millions of records), run JaVers 2.0 on your test environment for the first time and check if data migrations is done correctly.
