10.6.0 (2021-06-15)

This release combines all changes from 10.6.0-BETA.1 and 10.6.0-BETA.2.

Breaking Changes

  • [RealmApp] Sync protocol version increased to 3. This version adds support for the new data types introduced in file format version 21.
  • Primary keys now have automatic indexes again. Indexes was removed in v10.0.0 because they were not needed, but it caused issues when upgrading from a pre v10 version of Realm, and in some cases resulted in large delays when upgrading the fileformat. (Issue #7426, since 10.0.0).
  • Queries no longer do nullability checks on non-nullable fields, so using null as an argument will not throw an IllegalArgumentException.
  • String query filters contains, beginsWith, endsWith, and like, now throw a null pointer exception on null values.
  • The query builder no longer throw IllegalStateException but IllegalArgumentException.
  • The distinct query filter on unsupported fields no longer throws an exception when applied through when querying across relationships.
  • The distinct query filter no longer throws an exception when applied on non-existent fields.
  • RealmFieldType has been updated to account for the new types being added.

Enhancements

  • Added support for java.util.UUID as supported field in model classes.
  • Added support for java.util.UUID as a primary key.
  • Added support for RealmAny as supported field in model classes. A RealmAny is used to represent a polymorphic Realm value or Realm Object, is indexable but cannot be used as a primary key. See Javadoc for RealmAny.
  • Added support for RealmDictionary as supported field in model classes. A RealmDictionary is a Map of strings to values - all types under the RealmAny umbrella can be used as values. See Javadoc for RealmDictionary and Javadoc for RealmMap. RealmDictionary is not yet supported by any of the Realm.insert and Realm.createFromJson methods - This support will be added in a future release.
  • Added support for RealmSet as supported field in model classes. A RealmSet is a collection that implements the Java Set interface and contains no duplicate values - all types under the RealmAny umbrella can be used as values. See Javadoc for RealmSet. RealmSet is not yet supported by any of the Realm.insert and Realm.createFromJson methods - This support will be added in a future release.
  • Allow UTF8 encoded characters in property names in string-based queries (#4467)
  • The error message when the initial steps of opening a Realm file fails is now more descriptive.
  • Make conversion of Decimal128 to/from string work for numbers with more than 19 significant digits. (#4548)
  • Remove type coercion on bool and ObjectId when doing queries.
  • Allow passing arguments into string-based query predicates.
  • Queries across relationships now support the between operator.
  • Queries on numerical fields (byte, short, int, long, float, double, decimal128) now accept any numerical value as an argument.
  • isEmpty query filter can now be applied on RealmList and RealmObject fields.

Fixed

  • Fix assertion failures such as "!m_notifier_skip_version.version" or "m_notifier_sg->get_version() + 1 == new_version.version" when performing writes inside change notification callbacks. Previously refreshing the Realm by beginning a write transaction would skip delivering notifications, leaving things in an inconsistent state. Notifications are now delivered recursively when needed instead. (Cocoa #7165).
  • Fixed name aliasing not working in sort/distinct clauses when doing string-based queries. (#4550, never before working).
  • Potential/unconfirmed fix for crashes associated with failure to memory map (low on memory, low on virtual address space). For example (#4514).
  • Syncing large Decimal128 values will cause "Assertion failed: cx.w[1] == 0" (#4519, since v10.0.0)
  • Classes names "class_class_..." were not handled correctly when doing queries (#4480)
  • Fix collection notification reporting for modifications. This could be observed by receiving the wrong indices of modifications on sorted or distinct results, or notification blocks sometimes not being called when only modifications have occurred. (#4573 since v6).

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v22. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.6.y series.
  • Realm Studio 11.0.0-alpha.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Internal

  • Updated to Realm Core 11.0.3, commit de25ad9db783f931e7652d5c1431d5610b2ad67b.

10.6.0-BETA.2 (2021-06-14)

Breaking Changes

  • ``MapChangeSet.getDeletionsCount()has been replaced withMapChangeSet.getDeletions()` that return the keys for entries that has been deleted instead of just the number of deleted entries.
  • Primary keys now have automatic indexes again. Indexes was removed in v10.0.0 because they were not needed, but it caused issues when upgrading from a pre v10 version of Realm, and in some cases resulted in large delays when upgrading the fileformat. (Issue #7426, since 10.0.0).

Enhancements

  • Allow insert and insertOrUpdate operations on RealmObject or RealmObject collections containing RealmDictionary or RealmSet fields.
  • Added support for RealmDictionary in DynamicRealmObject with setDictionary(String fieldName, RealmDictionary<?> dictionary), getDictionary(String fieldName, Class<?> primitiveType), and getDictionary(String fieldName).
  • Added support for RealmSet in DynamicRealmObject with setRealmSet(String fieldName, RealmSet<?> realmSet), getRealmSet(String fieldName, Class<?> primitiveType), and getRealmSet(String fieldName).

Fixed

  • Removed wrong @Nullable annotation on RealmQuery.maxRealmAny().
  • Fixed RealmAny.getValueClass() returning the RealmObject proxy class instead of the model class on a RealmAny referencing a managed RealmObject.

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v22. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.6.y series.
  • Realm Studio 11.0.0-alpha.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Breaking Changes

  • [RealmApp] Sync protocol version increased to 3. This version adds support for the new data types introduced in file format version 21.
  • File format version bumped to 21. In this version we support new basic datatypes UUID and RealmAny, as well as RealmSet and RealmMap collections with string-based keys (i.e. RealmDictionary).
  • Queries no longer do nullability checks on non-nullable fields, so using null as an argument will not throw an IllegalArgumentException.
  • String query filters contains, beginsWith, endsWith, and like, now throw a null pointer exception on null values.
  • The query builder no longer throw IllegalStateException but IllegalArgumentException.
  • The distinct query filter on unsupported fields no longer throws an exception when applied through when querying across relationships.

  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.6.y series.
  • Realm Studio 11.0.0-alpha.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Internal

  • Updated to Realm Core 11.0.0-beta.4, commit: d50aef63a8aaf435e3afed82b589b47d8e1ab1ab.

10.5.1 (2021-06-14)

Enhancements

  • None.

Fixes

  • [RealmApp] Errors related to "uncaught exception in notifier thread: N5realm11KeyNotFoundE: No such object". This could happen in a sync'd app when a linked object was deleted by another client.
  • [RealmApp] Replacing a referenced embedded object could result in a "ERROR: ArrayInsert: Invalid" error. (Issue #7480)
  • Notifications now trigger correctly on Linux kernel 5.5 and above. So far this only impacted the preview emulator image for Android 12. (Issue#7321)
  • Raw query predicates not supporting integer constants above 32 bits on a 32 bit platform.

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v20. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.x.y series.
  • Realm Studio 10.0.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Internal

  • Updated to Realm Core 10.8.1, commit 2a67b996faf9e0b5d47ac402c4d3926713f99418.

10.5.0 (2021-05-07)

Breaking Changes

  • [RealmApp] SyncSession.State.WaitingForAccessToken has been added. It represents the local access token not longer being valid, but is automatically being refreshed.

Enhancements

  • We now make a backup of a Realm file prior to any file format upgrade. The backup is retained for 3 months. Backups from before a file format upgrade allows for better analysis of any upgrade failure. We also restore a backup, if a) an attempt is made to open a realm file whith a "future" file format and b) a backup file exist that fits the current file format. The backup file is placed next to the real Realm file and is named <fileName>.v<realmFileFormatVersion>.backup.realm.
  • The error message when the intial steps of opening a Realm file fails is now more descriptive.

Fixes

  • [RealmApp] Client Reset errors now correctly forward the server error message. (Issue #7363, since 10.0.0)
  • [RealmApp] All AppExceptions now correctly report the error message through RuntimeException.getMessage() instead of only through AppException.getErrorMessage().
  • [RealmApp] Proactively check the expiry time on the access token and refresh it before attempting to initiate a sync session. This prevents some error logs from appearing on the client such as: "ERROR: Connection[1]: Websocket: Expected HTTP response 101 Switching Protocols, but received: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized" (RCORE-473, since v10.0.0).
  • Fix name aliasing not working in sort/distinct clauses of raw string predicates.
  • Fix collection notification reporting for modifications. This could be observed by receiving the wrong indices of modifications on sorted or distinct results, or notification sometimes not being called when only modifications have occured. (since v7.0.0).
  • Make conversion of Decimal128 to/from string work for numbers with more than 19 significant digits. (#4548)

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v20. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.x.y series.
  • Realm Studio 10.0.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Internal

  • Updated to Realm Core 10.7.1, commit 5043c25e1d8f5971002e0fec85dea5ea3d7eb3d7.

10.4.0 (2021-03-26)

All releases from 10.4.0 and forward are now found on mavenCentral() instead of jcenter().

A minimal supported setup will therefore now look like this:

allprojects {
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:10.4.0"
        }
    }

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

SNAPSHOT releases have also been moved from http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local to https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/. See here for more information.

Enhancements

  • Added support for the string-based Realm Query Language through RealmQuery.rawPredicate(...). This allows many new type of queries not previously supported by the typed query API. See the Javadoc on this method for further details. (Issue #6116)
  • Performance of sorting on more than one property has been improved. Especially important if many elements match on the first property.

Fixes

  • Calling max/min/sum/avg on a List may give wrong results (Realm Core #4252, since v10.0.0)
  • Fix an issue when using RealmResults.freeze() across threads with different transaction versions. Previously, copying the RealmsResults' native resource could result in a stale state or objects from a future version. (Realm Core #4254).
  • On 32-bit devices you may get exception with "No such object" when upgrading to v10.* (#7314, since v10.0.0)

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v20. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.x.y series.
  • Realm Studio 10.0.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

  • Updated to ReLinker 1.4.3.

10.3.1 (2021-01-28)

Enhancements

  • Fixes Realm models default values containing objects with a PK might crash with a RealmPrimaryKeyConstraintException. (Issue [#7269] (realm#7269))

Compatibility

  • File format: Generates Realms with format v20. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
  • APIs are backwards compatible with all previous release of realm-java in the 10.x.y series.
  • Realm Studio 10.0.0 or above is required to open Realms created by this version.

Internal

Fixes

  • [RealmApp] Integrating a remote Sync changeset into the local Realm could result in an Index out of range error.
  • Change notifications not firing when removing and adding an object with the same primary key within a transaction (Issue #7098).
  • Race condition which would lead to "uncaught exception in notifier thread: N5realm15InvalidTableRefE: transaction_ended" and a crash when the source Realm was closed or invalidated at a very specific time during the first run of a collection notifier (Core issue #3761, since v7.0.0).
  • Deleting and recreating objects with embedded objects could fail (Core issue #4240, since v10.0.0)
  • Added @Nullable annotation to input parameter in RealmObject.isValid(item) to avoid mismatch warnings from Kotlin code (Issue #7216).

10.2.0 (2020-12-02)

Deprecated

  • [RealmApp] Credentials.google(authenticationCode: String). Use Credentials.google(token: String, authType: GoogleAuthType) instead.

Breaking Changes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • [RealmApp] Added Credentials.google(token: String, authType: GoogleAuthType), as MongoDB Realm now supports multiple ways of logging into Google Accounts.

Fixes

  • [RealmApp] Bug that would prevent eventual consistency during conflict resolution. Affected clients would experience data divergence and potentially consistency errors as a result if they experienced conflict resolution between cycles of Create-Erase-Create for objects with primary keys.
  • Clean up JNI references to prevent crash from JNI reference table overflow (Issue #7217)

Enhancements

  • Added FlowFactory interface that allows customization of Flow emissions, just as we do with RxObservableFactory. A default implementation, RealmFlowFactory, is provided when building RealmConfigurations.
  • Added toChangeSetFlow methods (similar to the Rx asChangesetFlowable methods) for RealmObject, RealmResults and RealmList.

Fixes

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Improved the error message for NoSuchTable errors. In some cases an outdated native reference was used,but the table was still there. In those cases an InvalidTableRef error is now used.

Fixes

  • [RealmApp] The SyncConfiguration.Builder.allowQueriesOnUiThread flag was wrongly initialized to false keeping users from running queries from the UI thread when using synced Realms. It now defaults to true, allowing queries to be run from the UI. (Issue #7177, since 10.0.0)

10.0.0 (2020-10-15)

NOTE: This is a unified release note covering all v10.0.0-BETA.X v10.0.0-RC.X releases.

NOTE: Support for syncing with realm.cloud.io and/or Realm Object Server has been replaced with support for syncing with MongoDB Realm Cloud.

NOTE: This version upgrades the Realm file format to version 20. It is not possible to downgrade to earlier versions than v10.0.0-BETA.7. Non-sync Realms will be upgraded automatically. Synced Realms can only be automatically upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1 and above.

Breaking Changes

  • [RealmApp] Most APIs for interacting with Realm Cloud have changed significantly. All new APIs can be found in the io.realm.mongodb package. The entry point is through the App class from which you can create and login users and otherwise interact with MongoDB Realm. See the docs for further details. Synced Realms still use a SyncConfiguration that are largely created the same way.
  • [RealmApp] Client Resets are now handled through a custom SyncConfiguration.Builder.clientResetHandler() instead of through the default session error handler SyncConfiguration.Builder.errorHandler()
  • [RealmApp] Realm files have changed location on disk. They are now located in getFiles()/mongodb-realm.
  • [RealmApp] All synced model classes not marked as embedded are required to have a primary key named _id. It is possible to use @RealmField(name = "_id") to map from any Java or Kotlin property.
  • From now on it is by default not allowed to run transactions with either Realm.executeTransaction() or DynamicRealm.executeTransaction() from the UI thread. Doing so will yield a RealmException. Users can override this behavior by using RealmConfiguration.Builder.allowWritesOnUiThread(true) when building a RealmConfiguration to obtain a Realm or DynamicRealm instance, however, we do not recommend doing so. Instead, we recommend using executeTransactionAsync() or, alternatively, using non-UI threads when calling executeTransaction() for both Realms and DynamicRealms.

Enhancements

  • Users can now opt out from allowing queries to be launched from the UI thread by using RealmConfiguration.Builder.allowQueriesOnUiThread(false). A RealmException will be thrown when calling RealmQuery.findAll(), RealmQuery.findFirst(), RealmQuery.minimumDate(), RealmQuery.maximumDate(), RealmQuery.count(), RealmQuery.sum(), RealmQuery.max(), RealmQuery.min(), RealmQuery.average() and RealmQuery.averageDecimal128() from the UI thread after having used allowQueriesOnUiThread(false). Queries will be allowed from the thread from which the Realm instance was obtained as it always has been by default, although we recommend using RealmQuery.findAllAsync() or RealmQuery.findFirstAsync(), or, alternatively, using a non-UI thread to launch them.
  • BaseRealm.refresh() will throw a RealmException if it is being called from the UI thread if allowQueriesOnUiThread is set to false, though it will be allowed by default.
  • Added DynamicRealm.executeTransactionAsync().
  • Added Kotlin extension suspend function Realm.executeTransactionAwait() which runs transactions inside coroutines.
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmResults.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmList.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmModel.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().
  • RealmLists can now be marked final. (Issue #6892)
  • Added support for distinct queries on non-index and linked fields. (Issue #1906)
  • Added support for org.bson.types.Decimal128 and org.bson.types.ObjectId as supported fields in model classes.
  • Added support for org.bson.types.ObjectId as a primary key.
  • Added support for "Embedded Objects". They are enabled using @RealmClass(embedded = true). An embedded object must have exactly one parent object linking to it and it will be deleted when the parent is. Embedded objects can also be the parent of other embedded classes. Read more here. (Issue #6713)

Fixes

  • None.

10.0.0-RC.1 (2020-10-02)

We no longer support Realm Cloud (legacy), but instead the new MongoDB Realm Cloud. MongoDB Realm is a serverless platform that enables developers to quickly build applications without having to set up server infrastructure. MongoDB Realm is built on top of MongoDB Atlas, automatically integrating the connection to your database.

The old Realm Cloud legacy APIs have undergone significant refactoring. The new APIs are all located in the io.realm.mongodb package with io.realm.mongodb.App as the entry point.

Breaking Changes

  • From now on it is not allowed by default to run transactions with either Realm.executeTransaction() or DynamicRealm.executeTransaction() from the UI thread. Doing so will yield a RealmException. Users can override this behavior by using RealmConfiguration.Builder.allowWritesOnUiThread(true) when building a RealmConfiguration to obtain a Realm or DynamicRealm instance, though we do not recommend doing so. Instead, we recommend using executeTransactionAsync() or, alternatively, using non-UI threads when calling executeTransaction() for both Realms and DynamicRealms.

Enhancements

  • Users can now opt out from allowing queries to be launched from the UI thread by using RealmConfiguration.Builder.allowQueriesOnUiThread(false). A RealmException will be thrown when calling RealmQuery.findAll(), RealmQuery.findFirst(), RealmQuery.minimumDate(), RealmQuery.maximumDate(), RealmQuery.count(), RealmQuery.sum(), RealmQuery.max(), RealmQuery.min(), RealmQuery.average() and RealmQuery.averageDecimal128() from the UI thread after having used allowQueriesOnUiThread(false). Queries will be allowed from the thread from which the Realm instance was obtained as it always has been by default, although we recommend using RealmQuery.findAllAsync() or RealmQuery.findFirstAsync(), or, alternatively, using a non-UI thread to launch them.
  • BaseRealm.refresh() will throw a RealmException if it is being called from the UI thread if allowQueriesOnUiThread is set to false, though it will be allowed by default.
  • Added DynamicRealm.executeTransactionAsync().
  • Added Kotlin extension suspend function Realm.executeTransactionAwait() which runs transactions inside coroutines.
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmResults.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmList.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().
  • Added Kotlin extension function RealmModel.toFlow() which returns a Kotlin flow, similar to our RxJava convenience method asFlowable().

Fixed

  • Using Realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate() and Realm.insertOrUpdate() did not correctly update objects if they contained lists of embedded objets. Instead of replacing the original list, list items was appended to the original list. Note, some corner cases are still not supported. See #7138 for more information. (Issue #7131, since 10.0.0-BETA.1).

We no longer support Realm Cloud (legacy), but instead the new MongoDB Realm Cloud. MongoDB Realm is a serverless platform that enables developers to quickly build applications without having to set up server infrastructure. MongoDB Realm is built on top of MongoDB Atlas, automatically integrating the connection to your database.

The old Realm Cloud legacy APIs have undergone significant refactoring. The new APIs are all located in the io.realm.mongodb package with io.realm.mongodb.App as the entry point.

Breaking Changes

  • [RealmApp] Realm files have changed location on disk, so Realms should upload all their data to the server before upgrading.
  • [RealmApp] Removed GMS Task framework and added RealmResultTask to provide with a mechanism to operate with asynchronous operations. MongoCollection has been updated to reflect this change.

Enhancements

  • [RealmApp] Credentials information (e.g. username, password) displayed in Logcat is now obfuscated by default, even if [LogLevel] is set to DEBUG, TRACE or ALL.
  • RealmLists can now be marked final. (Issue #6892)
  • It is now possible to create embedded objects using [DynamicRealm]s. (Issue #6982)

  • [RealmApp] Leaking objects when registering session listeners. (Issue #6916)
  • Added support for Json-import of objects containing embedded objects. (Issue #6896)
  • Upgrading the file format result did in some cases not work correctly. This could result in a number of crashes, e.g. FORMAT_UPGRADE_REQUIRED. (Issue #6889, since 7.0.0)
  • Bug in memory mapping management. This bug could result in multiple different asserts as well as segfaults. In many cases stack backtraces would include members of the EncyptedFileMapping near the top - even if encryption was not used at all. In other cases asserts or crashes would be in methods reading an array header or array element. In all cases the application would terminate immediately. (Realm Core PR #3838, since 7.0.0)
  • It was possible to use RealmObjectSchema to mark a Class as embedded even if some of the objects broke the constraints for being embedded.

7.0.2 (2020-08-14)

Enhancements

  • None.

Fixes

  • [ObjectServer] Calling SyncManager.refreshConnections() did not correctly refresh connections in all cases, which could delay reconnects up to 5 minutes. (Issue #7003)
  • Upgrading the file format result did in some cases not work correctly. This could result in a number of crashes, e.g. FORMAT_UPGRADE_REQUIRED. (Issue #6889, since 7.0.0)
  • Bug in memory mapping management. This bug could result in multiple different asserts as well as segfaults. In many cases stack backtraces would include members of the EncyptedFileMapping near the top - even if encryption was not used at all. In other cases asserts or crashes would be in methods reading an array header or array element. In all cases the application would terminate immediately. (Issue #3838, since 7.0.0)
  • Crash when retrieving null valued primitive fields from dynamic realm. (Issue #7025)

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.23.1 or later.

  • Aborting upgrading a Realm file could result in the file getting corrupted. (Isse #6866, since 7.0.0)
  • Automatic indexes on primary keys are now correctly stripped when upgrading the file as they are no longer needed. (Since 7.0.0)
  • NoSuchTable was thrown after comitting a transaction. (Issue #6947)

Only Realm Studio 4 or later will be able to open the new file format.

Breaking Changes

  • [ObjectServer] Removed deprecated method SyncConfiguration.Builder.partialRealm(). Use SyncConfiguration.Builder.fullSynchronization() instead.
  • [ObjectServer] Removed deprecated methods SyncConfiguration.automatic() and SyncConfiguration.automatic(User, Uri). Use SyncUser.getDefaultConfiguration() and SyncUser.createConfiguration(Url).
  • [ObjectServer] Removed deprecated method ErrorCode.fromInt(int).
  • [ObjectServer] Removed deprecated method SyncCredentials.nickname(name) and SyncCredentials.nickname(name, isAdmin). Use SyncCredentials.usernamePassword(username, password) instead.
  • [ObjectServer] Deprecated state SyncSession.State.ERROR has been removed. Use SyncConfiguration.Builder.errorHandler(ErrorHandler) instead.
  • [ObjectServer] IncompatibleSyncedFileException is removed as it is no longer used.
  • [ObjectServer] New error codes thrown by the underlying sync layers now have proper enum mappings in ErrorCode.java. A few other errors have been renamed in order to have consistent naming. (Issue #6387)
  • RxJava Flowables and Observables are now subscribed to and unsubscribed to asynchronously on the thread holding the live Realm, instead of previously where this was done synchronously.
  • All RxJava Flowables and Observables now return frozen objects instead of live objects. This can be configured using RealmConfiguration.Builder.rxFactory(new RealmObservableFactory(true|false)). By using frozen objects, it is possible to send RealmObjects across threads, which means that all RxJava operators should now be supported without the need to copy Realm data into unmanaged objects.
  • MIPS is not supported anymore.
  • Realm now requires minSdkVersion 16. Up from 9.
  • [ObjectServer] IncompatibleSyncedFileException is removed and no longer thrown.

Enhancements

  • Added Realm.freeze(), RealmObject.freeze(), RealmResults.freeze() and RealmList.freeze(). These methods will return a frozen version of the current Realm data. This data can be read from any thread without throwing an IllegalStateException, but will never change. All frozen Realms and data can be closed by calling Realm.close() on the frozen Realm, but fully closing all live Realms will also close the frozen ones. Frozen data can be queried as normal, but trying to mutate it in any way will throw an IllegalStateException. This includes all methods that attempt to refresh or add change listeners. (Issue #6590)
  • Added Realm.isFrozen(), RealmObject.isFrozen(), RealmObject.isFrozen(RealmModel), RealmResults.isFrozen() and RealmList.isFrozen(), which returns whether or not the data is frozen.
  • Added RealmConfiguration.Builder.maxNumberOfActiveVersions(long number). Setting this will cause Realm to throw an IllegalStateException if too many versions of the Realm data are live at the same time. Having too many versions can dramatically increase the filesize of the Realm.
  • Storing large binary blobs in Realm files no longer forces the file to be at least 8x the size of the largest blob.
  • Reduce the size of transaction logs stored inside the Realm file, reducing file size growth from large transactions.
  • RealmResults.asJSON() is no longer @Beta
  • The default toString() for proxy objects now print the length of binary fields. (Issue #6767)

Fixes

  • If a DynamicRealm and Realm was opened for the same file they would share transaction state by accident. The implication was that writes to a Realm would immediately show up in the DynamicRealm. This has been fixed, so now it is required to call refresh() on the other Realm or wait for normal change listeners to detect the change.

6.1.0(2020-01-17)

Enhancements

  • The Realm Gradle plugin now applies kapt when used in Kotlin Multiplatform projects. Note, Realm Java still only works for the Android part of a Kotlin Multiplatform project. (Issue #6653)
  • The error message shown when no native code could be found for the device is now much more descriptive. This is particular helpful if an app is using App Bundle or APK Split and the resulting APK was side-loaded outside the Google Play Store. (Issue #6673)
  • RealmResults.asJson() now encode binary data as Base64 and null object links are reported as null instead of [].

Fixed

  • Fixed using RealmList with a primitive type sometimes crashing with Destruction of mutex in use. (Issue #6689)
  • RealmObjectSchema.transform() would crash if one of the DynamicRealmObject provided are deleted from the Realm. (Issue #6657, since 0.86.0)

6.0.2(2019-11-21)

Enhancements

  • None.

Fixed

  • [ObjectServer] SyncSession progress listeners now work correctly in combination with SyncConfiguration.waitForInitialRemoteData().
  • The @RealmModule annotation would be stripped on an empty class when using R8 resulting in apps crashing on startup with io.realm.DefaultRealmModule is not a RealmModule. Add @RealmModule to the class definition.. (#6449)

6.0.1(2019-11-11)

NOTE: Anyone using encrypted Realms are strongly advised to upgrade to this version.

Enhancements

  • None

Fixed

  • When using encrypted Realms a race condition could lead to the Realm ending up corrupted when the file increased in size. This could manifest as a wide array of different error messages. Most commonly seen has been "Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) from Java_io_realm_internal_UncheckedRow_nativeGetString", "RealmFileException: Top ref outside file" and "Unable to open a realm at path. ACCESS_ERROR: Invalid mnemonic". (#6152, since 5.0.0)

6.0.0(2019-10-01)

Breaking Changes

  • [ObjectServer] The PermissionManager is no longer backed by Realms but instead a REST API. This means that the PermissionManager class has been removed and all methods have been moved to SyncUser. Some method names have been renamed slightly and return values for methods have changed from RealmResults<Permission> to List<Permission>. This should only have an impact if change listeners were used to listen for changes. In these cases, you must now manually retry the request.

5.15.0(2019-09-05)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added support for Client Resync for fully synchronized Realms which automatically will recover the local Realm in case the server is rolled back. This largely replaces the Client Reset mechanism. Can be configured using SyncConfiguration.Builder.clientResyncMode(). (Issue #6487)

Fixed

  • Huawei devices reporting Permission denied when opening a Realm file after an app upgrade or factory reset. This does not automatically fix already existing Realm files. See this FAQ entry for more details. (Issue #5715)
  • Realm.copyToRealm() and Realm.insertOrUpdate() crashed on model classes if @LinkingObjects was used to target a field with a re-defined internal name in the parent class (e.g. by using @RealmField). (Issue #6581)

5.11.0(2019-05-01)

NOTE: This version is only compatible with Realm Object Server 3.21.0 or later.

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added RealmQuery.includeLinkingObjects(). This is only relevant for Query-based Realms and tells subscriptions to include objects linked through @LinkingObjects fields as part of the subscription as well. Objects referenced through objects and lists are always included as a default. (Issue #6426)

  • Added support for incremental annotation processing added in Gradle 4.7. (Issue #5906).

Fixed

  • [ObjectServer] Fix an error in the calculation of the downloadableBytes value sent by ProgressListeners.
  • [ObjectServer] HTTP requests made by the Sync client now always include a Host: header, as required by HTTP/1.1, although its value will be empty if no value is specified by the application.
  • [ObjectServer] The server no longer rejects subscriptions based on queries with distinct and/or limit clauses.
  • [ObjectServer] If a user had canCreate but not canUpdate privileges on a class, the user would be able to create the object, but not actually set any meaningful values on that object, despite the rule that objects created within the same transaction can always be modified.
  • Native crash happening if bulk updating a field in a RealmResult would cause the object to no longer be part of the query result. (Issue #6478, since 5.8.0).

5.10.0(2019-03-22)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added 4 new fields to query-based Subscriptions: createdAt, updatedAt, expiresAt and timeToLive. These make it possible to better reason about and control current subscriptions. (Issue #6453)
  • [ObjectServer] Added the option of updating the query controlled by a Subscription using either RealmQuery.findAllAsync(String name, boolean update), RealmQuery.subscribe(String name, boolean update) or Subscription.setQuery(RealmQuery query). (Issue #6453)
  • [ObjectServer] Added the option of setting a time-to-live for subscriptions. Setting this will automatically delete the subscription after the provided TTL has expired and the subscription hasn't been used. (Issue #6453)

Fixed

  • Dates returned from the Realm file no longer overflow or underflow if they exceed Long.MAX_VALUE or Long.MIN_VALUE but instead clamp to their respective value. (Issue #2722)

5.9.0(2019-01-15)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added ObjectServerError.getErrorType() and ObjectServerError.getErrorType() which returns the underlying native error information. This is especially relevant if ObjectServerError.getErrorCode() returns UNKNOWN. #6364
  • Added better checks for detecting corrupted files, both before and after the file is written to disk.

Fixed

  • [ObjectServer] Native errors sometimes mapped to the wrong Java ErrorCode. (Issue #6364, since 2.0.0)
  • [ObjectServer] Query-based Sync queries involving LIMIT, limited the result before permissions were evaluated. This could sometimes result in the wrong number of elements being returned.
  • Removed Java 8 bytecode. Resulted in errors like D8: Invoke-customs are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26) if not compiled with Java 8. (Issue #6300, since 5.8.0).

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later.

5.8.0 (2018-11-06)

This release also contains all changes from 5.8.0-BETA1 and 5.8.0-BETA2.

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added Subscription class available to Query-based Realms. This exposes a Subscription more directly. This class is in beta. #6231.
    • [ObjectServer] Added Realm.getSubscriptions(), Realm.getSubscriptions(String pattern) and Realm.getSubscription to make it easier to find existing subscriptions. These API's are in beta. #6231
    • [ObjectServer] Added RealmQuery.subscribe() and RealmQuery.subscribe(String name) to subscribe immediately inside a transaction. These API's are in beta. #6231
    • [ObjectServer] Added support for subscribing directly inside SyncConfiguration.initialData(). This can be coupled with SyncConfiguration.waitForInitialRemoteData() in order to block a Realm from opening until the initial subscriptions are ready and have downloaded data. This API are in beta. #6231
  • [ObjectServer] Improved performance when merging changes from the server.
  • [ObjectServer] Added support for timeouts when uploading or downloading data manually using SyncSession.downloadAllServerChanges(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) and SyncSession.uploadAllLocalChanges(long timeout, TimeUnit unit). #6073
  • [ObjectServer] Added support for timing out when downloading initial data for synchronized Realms using SyncConfiguration.waitForInitialRemoteData(long timeout, TimeUnit unit). #6247
  • [ObjectServer] Added Realm.init(Context, String) which defines a custom User-Agent String sent to the Realm Object Server when a session is created. Using this requires Realm Object Server 3.12.4 or later. #6267
  • Added support for ImportFlags to Realm.copyToRealm() and Realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(). This makes it possible to choose a mode so only fields that actually changed are written to disk. This improves notifications and Object Server performance. #6224
  • Added support for bulk updating the same property in all objects that are part of a query result using RealmResults.setValue(String fieldName, Object value) or one of the specialized overrides that have been added for all supported types, e.g. RealmResults.setString(String fieldName, String value). #762

5.7.0 (2018-09-24)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Devices will now report download progress for read-only Realms which will allow the server to compact files sooner, saving server space. This does not affect the client. You will need to upgrade your Realm Object Server to at least version 3.11.0 or use Realm Cloud. If you try to connect to a ROS v3.10.x or previous, you will see an error like Wrong protocol version in Sync HTTP request, client protocol version = 25, server protocol version = 24.

Fixed

  • None

Compatibility

  • Realm Object Server: 3.11.0 or later.
  • File format: Generates Realms with format v9 (Reads and upgrades all previous formats)

5.2.0 (2018-06-06)

The feature previously named Partial Sync is now called Query-Based Sync and is now the default mode when synchronizing Realms. This has impacted a number of API's. See below for the details.

Deprecated

  • [ObjectServer] SyncConfiguration.automatic() has been deprecated in favour of SyncUser.getDefaultConfiguration().
  • [ObjectServer] new SyncConfiguration.Builder(user, url) has been deprecated in favour of SyncUser.createConfiguration(url). NOTE: Creating configurations using SyncUser will default to using query-based Realms, while creating them using new SyncConfiguration.Builder(user, url) will default to fully synchronized Realms.
  • [ObjectServer] With query-based sync being the default SyncConfiguration.Builder.partialRealm() has been deprecated. Use ``SyncConfiguration.Builder.fullSynchronization()` if you want full synchronisation instead.

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added SyncUser.createConfiguration(url). Realms created this way are query-based Realms by default.
  • [ObjectServer] Added SyncUser.getDefaultConfiguration().
  • The Realm bytecode transformer now supports incremental builds (#3034).
  • Improved speed and allocations when parsing field descriptions in queries (#5547).

Bug Fixes

  • Having files that ends with RealmProxy will no longer break the Realm Transformer (#3709).

Internal

  • Module mediator classes being generated now produces a stable output enabling better support for incremental builds (#3034).

5.1.0 (2018-04-25)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] Added support for SyncUser.requestPasswordReset(), SyncUser.completePasswordReset() and their async variants. This makes it possible to reset the password for users created using Credentials.usernamePassword() where they used their email as username (#5821).
  • [ObjectServer] Added support for SyncUser.requestEmailConfirmation(), SyncUser.confirmEmail() and their async variants. This makes it possible to ask users to confirm their email. This is only supported for users created using Credentials.usernamePassword() who have used an email as their username (#5821).
  • RealmQuery.in() now support null which will always return no matches (#4011).
  • Added support for RealmQuery.alwaysTrue() and RealmQuery.alwaysFalse().

Bug Fixes

  • Changing a primary key from being nullable to being required could result in objects being deleted (##5899).

5.0.1 (2018-04-09)

Enhancements

  • [ObjectServer] SyncConfiguration.automatic() will make use of the host port to work out the default Realm URL.
  • [ObjectServer] A role is now automatically created for each user with that user as its only member. This simplifies the common use case of restricting access to specific objects to a single user. This role can be accessed at PermissionUser.getRole().
  • [ObjectServer] Expose Role.getMembers() to access the list of associated UserPermission.

Bug Fixes

  • RealmList.move() did not move items correctly for unmanaged lists (#5860).
  • RealmObject.isValid() not correctly returns false if null is provided as an argument (#5865).
  • RealmQuery.findFirst() and RealmQuery.findFirstAsync() not working correctly with sorting (#5714).

  • [ObjectServer] Due to file format changes, Realm Object Server 1.3.0 or later is required.

Enhancements

  • Added support for reverse relationships through the @LinkingObjects annotation. See io.realm.annotations.LinkingObjects for documentation.
    • This feature is in @Beta.
    • Queries on linking objects do not work. Queries like where(...).equalTo("field.linkingObjects.id", 7).findAll() are not yet supported.

  • Upgraded Gradle to 3.4.1

3.0.0 (2017-02-28)

Breaking Changes

  • RealmResults.distinct() returns a new RealmResults object instead of filtering on the original object (#2947).
  • RealmResults is auto-updated continuously. Any transaction on the current thread which may have an impact on the order or elements of the RealmResults will change the RealmResults immediately instead of change it in the next event loop. The standard RealmResults.iterator() will continue to work as normal, which means that you can still delete or modify elements without impacting the iterator. The same is not true for simple for-loops. In some cases a simple for-loop will not work (https://realm.io/docs/java/3.0.0/api/io/realm/OrderedRealmCollection.html#loops), and you must use the new createSnapshot() method.
  • RealmChangeListener on RealmObject will now also be triggered when the object is deleted. Use RealmObject.isValid() to check this state(#3138).
  • RealmObject.asObservable() will now emit the object when it is deleted. Use RealmObject.isValid() to check this state (#3138).
  • Removed deprecated classes Logger and AndroidLogger (#4050).

Deprecated

  • RealmResults.removeChangeListeners(). Use RealmResults.removeAllChangeListeners() instead.
  • RealmObject.removeChangeListeners(). Use RealmObject.removeAllChangeListeners() instead.
  • RealmResults.distinct() and RealmResults.distinctAsync(). Use RealmQuery.distinct() and RealmQuery.distinctAsync() instead.

Enhancements

  • Added support for sorting by link's field (#672).
  • Added OrderedRealmCollectionSnapshot class and OrderedRealmCollection.createSnapshot() method. OrderedRealmCollectionSnapshot is useful when changing RealmResults or RealmList in simple loops.
  • Added OrderedRealmCollectionChangeListener interface for supporting fine-grained collection notifications.
  • Added support for ChangeListeners on RealmList.
  • Added RealmList.asObservable().

Bug Fixes

  • Element type checking in DynamicRealmObject#setList() (#4252).
  • Now throws IllegalStateException instead of process crash when any of thread confined methods in RealmQuery is called from wrong thread (#4228).
  • Now throws IllegalStateException when any of thread confined methods in DynamicRealmObject is called from wrong thread (#4258).

Internal

  • Use Object Store's Results as the backend for RealmResults (#3372).
    • Use Object Store's notification mechanism to trigger listeners.
    • Local commits triggers Realm global listener and RealmObject listener on current thread immediately instead of in the next event loop.

2.3.0 (2017-01-19)

Object Server API Changes

  • Realm Sync v1.0.0 has been released, and Realm Mobile Platform is no longer considered in beta.
  • Breaking change: Location of Realm files are now placed in getFilesDir()/<userIdentifier> instead of getFilesDir()/. This is done in order to support shared Realms among users, while each user retaining their own local copy.
  • Breaking change: SyncUser.all() now returns Map instead of List.
  • Breaking change: Added a default UserStore saving users in a Realm file (RealmFileUserStore).

2.2.2 (2017-01-16)

Object Server API Changes (In Beta)

  • Disabled Realm.compactRealm() when sync is enabled as it might corrupt the Realm (realm/realm-core#2345).

Bug fixes

  • "operation not permitted" issue when creating Realm file on some devices' external storage (#3629).
  • Crash on API 10 devices (#3726).
  • UnsatisfiedLinkError caused by pipe2 (#3945).
  • Unrecoverable error with message "Try again" when the notification fifo is full (#3964).
  • Realm migration wasn't triggered when the primary key definition was altered (#3966).
  • Use phantom reference to solve the finalize time out issue (#2496).

Enhancements

  • Unexpected RealmMigrationNeededException was thrown when a field was added to synced Realm.

Enhancements

  • Added support for the annotationProcessor configuration provided by Android Gradle Plugin 2.2.0 or later. Realm plugin adds its annotation processor to the annotationProcessor configuration instead of apt configuration if it is available and the com.neenbedankt.android-apt plugin is not used. In Kotlin projects, kapt is used instead of the annotationProcessor configuration (#3026).

2.1.1 (2016-10-27)

  • Permission error when a database file was located on external storage (#3140).
  • Memory leak when unsubscribing from a RealmResults/RealmObject RxJava Observable (#3552).

Enhancements

  • Realm.compactRealm() now works for encrypted Realms.

  • Reduce transformer logger verbosity (#3608).
  • RealmLog.setLevel(int) for setting the log level across all loggers.

Internal

  • Upgraded Realm Core to 2.1.3

Credits

  • Thanks to Max Furman (@maxfurman) for adding support for first() and last() default values.

2.0.2 (2016-10-06)

2.0.0 (2016-09-27)

This release introduces support for the Realm Mobile Platform! See https://realm.io/news/introducing-realm-mobile-platform/ for an overview of these great new features.

Breaking Changes

  • Files written by Realm 2.0 cannot be read by 1.x or earlier versions. Old files can still be opened.
  • It is now required to call Realm.init(Context) before calling any other Realm API.
  • Removed RealmConfiguration.Builder(Context), RealmConfiguration.Builder(Context, File) and RealmConfiguration.Builder(File) constructors.
  • isValid() now always returns true instead of false for unmanaged RealmObject and RealmList. This puts it in line with the behaviour of the Cocoa and .NET API's (#3101).
  • armeabi is not supported anymore.
  • Added new RealmFileException.
    • IncompatibleLockFileException has been removed and replaced by RealmFileException with kind INCOMPATIBLE_LOCK_FILE.
    • RealmIOExcpetion has been removed and replaced by RealmFileException.
  • RealmConfiguration.Builder.assetFile(Context, String) has been renamed to RealmConfiguration.Builder.assetFile(String).
  • Object with primary key is now required to define it when the object is created. This means that Realm.createObject(Class<E>) and DynamicRealm.createObject(String) now throws RealmException if they are used to create an object with a primary key field. Use Realm.createObject(Class<E>, Object) or DynamicRealm.createObject(String, Object) instead.
  • Importing from JSON without the primary key field defined in the JSON object now throws IllegalArgumentException.
  • Now Realm.beginTransaction(), Realm.executeTransaction() and Realm.waitForChange() throw RealmMigrationNeededException if a remote process introduces incompatible schema changes (#3409).
  • The primary key value of an object can no longer be changed after the object was created. Instead a new object must be created and all fields copied over.
  • Now Realm.createObject(Class) and Realm.createObject(Class,Object) take the values from the model's fields and default constructor. Creating objects through the DynamicRealm does not use these values (#777).
  • When Realm.create*FromJson()s create a new RealmObject, now they take the default values defined by the field itself and its default constructor for those fields that are not defined in the JSON object.

Enhancements

  • Added realmObject.isManaged(), RealmObject.isManaged(obj) and RealmCollection.isManaged() (#3101).
  • Added RealmConfiguration.Builder.directory(File).
  • RealmLog has been moved to the public API. It is now possible to control which events Realm emit to Logcat. See the RealmLog class for more details.
  • Typed RealmObjects can now continue to access their fields properly even though the schema was changed while the Realm was open (#3409).
  • A RealmMigrationNeededException will be thrown with a cause to show the detailed message when a migration is needed and the migration block is not in the RealmConfiguration.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a lint error in proxy classes when the 'minSdkVersion' of user's project is smaller than 11 (#3356).

  • Fixed a bug causing a build failure when the Realm Transformer adds accessors to a model class that was already transformed in other project (#3469).
  • Fixed a bug causing the NullPointerException when calling getters/setters in the model's constructors (#2536).

Internal

  • Moved JNI build to CMake.
  • Updated Realm Core to 2.0.0.
  • Updated ReLinker to 1.2.2.

1.2.0 (2016-08-19)

  • Throw a proper exception when operating on a non-existing field with the dynamic API (#3292).
  • DynamicRealmObject.setList should only accept RealmList<DynamicRealmObject> (#3280).
  • DynamicRealmObject.getX(fieldName) now throws a proper exception instead of a native crash when called with a field name of the wrong type (#3294).
  • Fixed a concurrency crash which might happen when Realm.executeTransactionAsync() tried to call onSucess after the Realm was closed.

Enhancements

  • Added RealmQuery.in() for a comparison against multiple values.
  • Added byte array (byte[]) support to RealmQuery's equalTo and notEqualTo methods.
  • Optimized internal caching of schema classes (#3315).

  • Fixed a concurrency allocation bug in storage engine which might lead to some random crashes.
  • Bulk insertion now throws if it is not called in a transaction (#3173).
  • The IllegalStateException thrown when accessing an empty RealmObject is now more meaningful (#3200).
  • insert() now correctly throws an exception if two different objects have the same primary key (#3212).
  • Blackberry Z10 throwing "Function not implemented" (#3178).
  • Reduced the number of file descriptors used by Realm Core (#3197).
  • Throw a proper IllegalStateException if a RealmChangeListener is used inside an IntentService (#2875).

  • Revised RealmResults.isLoaded() description (#2895).
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Realm to lose track of primary key when using RealmObjectSchema.removeField() and RealmObjectSchema.renameField() (#2829/#2926).
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some devices from finding async related JNI methods correctly.
  • Updated ProGuard configuration in order not to depend on Android's default configuration (#2972).
  • Fixed a race condition between Realms notifications and other UI events. This could e.g. cause ListView to crash (#2990).
  • Fixed a bug that allowed both RealmConfiguration.Builder.assetFile()/deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded() to be configured at the same time, which leads to the asset file accidentally being deleted in migrations (#2933).
  • Realm crashed outright when the same Realm file was opened in two processes. Realm will now optimistically retry opening for 1 second before throwing an Error (#2459).

  • Calling RealmObjectSchema.addPrimaryKey() adds an index to the primary key field, and calling RealmObjectSchema.removePrimaryKey() removes the index from the field (#2832).
  • Log files are not deleted when calling Realm.deleteRealm() (#2834).

Enhancements

  • Upgrading to OpenSSL 1.0.1t. From July 11, 2016, Google Play only accept apps using OpenSSL 1.0.1r or later (https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/6376725, #2749).
  • Added support for automatically copying an initial database from assets using RealmConfiguration.Builder.assetFile().
