Upgrade from Spring4d 1.2 to Spring4d 2.0

[egroups 2]

Spring4d 2.0 is out,but not compatible with 1.2.

Of course its open source,but is any simply changelog between 1.2 and 2.0,what's new etc?

And is any manual for easy convert Project with spring4d 1.2 for using with spring4d 2.0?

I guess it depends which features you are using, I did this a while back and only hit a few minor issues. I was mosly using the collections (and the IEnumerable<T> linq features) and the container.

Just download v2, change your library/search paths and see what happens when you compile 😉

Not sure what changes were made to parts other than Collections and Container - perhaps @Stefan Glienke can chime in here.

I switched from Delphi 10.2 to Delphi 11 and for now I'm using Spring4d 1.2. When GetIt is functional, I'll install Delphi 11 at home and then I'll test with Spring4d 2.0.

Do you mean this? https://bitbucket.org/sglienke/spring4d/wiki/Spring4D 2.0 Releasenotes (I think they are not linked from the readme thus easy to miss - I will fix that shortly)

Just clone the repo from bitbucket (with git) and use that.

@Stefan Glienke Could you add a version constant to Spring.pas? Something like:

const
  Spring4DVersion = 2.0;

to help us maintain code compatible with 1.x and 2.0 at the same time, as it would allow:

{$IFNDEF DELPHI_12_UP}
constructor THashSet<T>.Create(ACapacity: NativeInt);
begin
{$IF defined(Spring4DVersion) and (Spring4DVersion >= 2)}
  inherited Create(ACapacity, nil);
{$ELSE}
  inherited Create;
{$ENDIF}
end;
{$ENDIF}

This is especially important for large teams/projects that share common code, where some projects and people use version 1.x while others use version 2.x, and the common code should support both.
