1.0 RC 3​

Packaging​

The biggest change in this release is in how EdgeDB is packaged. We now have a “portable build” that runs on any non-legacy Linux or macOS system. The purpose is to avoid restrictions that supporting native packaging systems imposes. Because of this we recommend a more explicit dump/restore upgrade workflow to get your instances to RC3.

Before you start you may want to backup the instance credentials (which you can find in the “Config” directory indicated by edgedb info). The first step in the upgrade process will be backing up all the instance data and that will include the login credentials that the instance expects. After restoring the database dump, you may need to restore old credentials file as well.

$ 

edgedb dump --all --format=dir ./upgrade_backup

$ 

edgedb project unlink -D

$ 

edgedb project upgrade --to-latest

$ 

edgedb project init --no-migrations

$ 

edgedb restore --admin --all ./upgrade_backup

$ 

edgedb instance reset-password my_instance

$ 

edgedb instance reset-password my_instance --password

$ 

edgedb dump -I my_instance --all --format=dir ./my_instance_backup

$ 

edgedb instance destroy my_instance

$ 

edgedb instance create my_instance

$ 

edgedb restore -I my_instance --admin --all ./my_instance_backup

$ 

edgedb instance reset-password my_instance

$ 

edgedb instance reset-password my_instance --password

EdgeQL​

• Support path prefix in link constraints (#3206).

  It is now possible to use shorthand path expression referring to link properties in constraint expressions:

  Copy

  type Foo {
      link bar -> Object {
          property linkprop -> str;
          constraint expression on (@linkprop != "lol");
      }
  }

• Support path prefix in link indexes (#3202).

  It is now possible to use shorthand path expression referring to link properties in index expressions:

  Copy

  abstract link friendship {
      property strength -> float64;
      index on (@strength);
  }

• Implement index and slicing of JSON strings (#3203).

  We already implement ++ for JSON strings, but indexing operations were left out until now. This change fixes this oversight:

  Copy

  db> 

  select to_json('"hello"')[0];

  {"\"h\""}

  Copy

  db> 

  select to_json('"hello"')[1:3];

  {"\"el\""}

• Fix some corner cases of functions without optional or set of arguments being called on empty input (#3195).

• Fix some corner cases of changing link type (#3183).

Bindings​

We are in the process of dropping old deprecated APIs before rolling out production-ready EdgeDB.

• Clean up the API for edgedb-python and release v0.19.0 driver.

• Clean up the API for edgedb-js and release v0.17.0 driver.

• Clean up the API for edgedb-go and release v0.9.0 driver.
