Hello,

*QxOrm library 1.4.4* and *QxEntityEditor application 1.2.2* just released (
http://www.qxorm.com/) !

QxOrm library doesn't depend on boost framework anymore (the boost
dependency has been fully removed, replaced by some C++11 features).
So QxOrm library is now a pure Qt library which depends only on QtCore and
QtSql by default.
For backward compatibility, QxOrm library still supports some boost classes
(boost smart-pointers, unordered containers, boost::optional, etc...) : you
have to define _QX_ENABLE_BOOST compilation option to enable these features.

Main advantages are :
- QxOrm becomes a much lighter library
- easier to install (because you don't have to deal with boost anymore)
- reduce compilation times
- reduce output binary size

Thx also to Jimmy Taker for several improvments and new features in
QxModelView module !

*QxOrm library 1.4.4 changes log :*
- QxOrm library now requires a C++11 compiler (please note that QxOrm
doesn't require a full compliant C++11 compiler : for example, QxOrm can be
built and used with MSVC 2012, GCC 4.5 or Clang 3.2)
- Implement PIMPL idiom for some QxOrm classes to reduce compilation times
and output binary size
- New class named qx::any to replace boost::any (basic implementation of
boost::any written by Kevlin Henney)
- qx_shared_ptr alias doesn't exist anymore : it is replaced everywhere by
std::shared_ptr
- QxModelView module : all models based on qx::IxModel class can now be
sorted (on all columns), please note that you can also use
QSortFilterProxyModel Qt class to sort your model
- QxModelView module - qx::QxModel<T> : fix setData() with
e_auto_update_on_field_change option when an error occurred saving data in
database, now previous value is restored if an error occurred
- QxModelView module - qx::IxModel : fix setHeaderData() using it with
default role (Qt::EditRole) changes the header in a header view (role
Qt::DisplayRole)
- QxModelView module - qx::IxModel : if a description is registered in
QxOrm context, then it is displayed in header for each property
- QxModelView module : new feature available to add automatically an empty
row at the end of the table to insert quickly new items (setShowEmptyLine()
method)
- QxModelView module : possibility to define an intermediate base class
between qx::IxModel and qx::QxModel<T> to provide your own model features,
for example imagine you develop a drag&drop feature in a class named
IxModelDragDrop, you can now create a QxOrm model like this (see the second
template parameter) : qx::IxModel * pModel = new
qx::QxModel<MyPersistantClass, IxModelDragDrop>();
- QxOrm.pro : fix DESTDIR parameter on Windows
- QxOrm.pri and QxOrm.cmake : add a section to enable
QT_USE_QSTRINGBUILDER to optimize QString operations
- QxOrm library is now tested with MSVC 2015 compiler (support all MSVC
versions from 2012)
- Fix a bug in QxSqlError.h file with a qPrintable() call on a temporary
object
- Provide more details in logs after executing a SQL query : time to
execute query in database + time to fetch C++ instances
- Support std::optional<T> (if your compiler supports C++17 features) to
manage NULL database value : new header available named
<QxExtras/QxStdOptional.h> to include just after <QxOrm.h> header file
(ideally in a precompiled header)

*QxEntityEditor application 1.2.2 changes log :*
- Fix an issue after importing a project (from database or JSON file)
which forced user to refresh or reload current project
- Improve performance (fetching less data from database) when loading
relationships from generated persistent classes (bLoadFromDatabase
parameter)
- Change model/view export plugin to take into account some improvments
available in the new version of QxOrm library
- Support changes of new QxOrm version : remove boost dependency by
default and enable C++11 features
- Improve Javascript engine to customize exports : add 3 functions
available in js script to get all QxEntityEditor settings (at global level,
project level and plugin level)
- Check entities schema before exporting to C++ project : if a design
error is detected, then display a message to user
- Fix SQL type field in property settings : now you can put parenthesis
(for example VARCHAR(255) is now allowed)
- DDL export for MySQL (and MariaDB) : add ` character to escape column
name and table name
- Add full path to project in recent projects list and main window title
bar
- Now it is easier to select a relationship from entities diagram with a
simple click on it
