Microsoft.OData.Core

• IJsonReaderAsync interface has been merged into IJsonReader interface.
  • Any implementation of IJsonReader needs to implement methods previously defined in IJsonReaderAsync interfaces.
  • The Value property in IJsonReader interface is replaced by GetValue method.
• IJsonReaderFactoryAsync interface has been dropped.
• IJsonStreamWriter, IJsonWriterAsync and IJsonStreamWriterAsync interfaces have been merged into IJsonWriter interface.
  • Any implementation of IJsonWriter needs to implement methods previously defined in IJsonStreamWriter, IJsonWriterAsync and IJsonStreamWriterAsync interfaces.
• IStreamBasedJsonWriterFactory and IJsonWriterFactoryAsync interfaces has been dropped.
• DefaultStreamBasedJsonWriterFactory class has been renamed to ODataUtf8JsonWriterFactory.
• CreateJsonWriter(TextReader, bool) defined in IJsonWriterFactory has changed to CreateJsonWriter(Stream, bool, Encoding). The method now accepts a Stream rather than a TextReader.
• List<ODataUrlValidationMessage> Messages property defined in ODataUrlValidationContext class has changed to IReadOnlyList<ODataUrlValidationMessage> Messages.
  • AddMessage(ODataUrlValidationMessage) overload introduced in ODataUrlValidationContext.
• INavigationSourceSegment interface introduced. The purpose of this new interface is to reduce casting when determining the navigation source associated with the segment. EntitySetSegment, SingletonSegment and NavigationPropertySegment implement this new interface.
• Deprecated support for JSONP callback. Feature to be removed in ODL 9.
  • JsonPCallback property defined in ODataMessageWriterSettings class marked as obsolete.
  • StartPaddingFunctionScope method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
  • EndPaddingFunctionScope method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
  • WritePaddingFunctionName method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
  • StartPaddingFunctionScopeAsync method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
  • EndPaddingFunctionScopeAsync method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
  • WritePaddingFunctionNameAsync method defined in IJsonWriter interface marked as obsolete.
• ODataSimplifiedOptions class was dropped. This class would be injected into the DI container and the settings used to control behaviour when parsing URLs, and when writing and reading payloads. In ODL 8, ODataMessageReaderSettings, ODataMessageWriterSettings, and ODataUriParserSettings may variously be used to accomplish the same purpose.
  • EnableReadingKeyAsSegment and EnableReadingODataAnnotationWithoutPrefix properties moved to ODataMessageReaderSettings class.
  • EnableWritingKeyAsSegment property moved to ODataMessageWriterSettings class.
  • SetOmitODataPrefix(bool), SetOmitODataPrefix(bool, ODataVersion), GetOmitODataPrefix(), and GetOmitODataPrefix(ODataVersion) methods moved to ODataMessageWriterSettings class.
  • EnableParsingKeyAsSegment property moved to ODataUriParserSettings class.
• In ODL 7, when ODataBinaryStreamValue class is initialized using the ODataBinaryStreamValue(Stream) constructor, the stream is left open by default upon the object being disposed. In ODL 8, the stream is closed by default the object objects is disposed. The ODataBinaryStreamValue(Stream, bool) constructor overload may be used where leaving the stream open is intended.
• Func<string, bool> ShouldIncludeAnnotation property introduced in ODataMessageWriterSettings. This property makes it possible for developers to force a custom instance annotation to be written even if it's not include in the optional @odata.include-annotations preference token in Prefer request header.
• IContainerBuilder interface used when registering OData services was dropped. Use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection library instead.
  • AddDefaultODataServices(IServiceCollection, ODataVersion, Action<ODataMessageReaderSettings>, Action<ODataMessageWriterSettings>, Action<ODataUriParserSettings>) extension method introduced for the purpose of registering OData services.
  • IContainerProvider interface replaced by IServiceCollectionProvider interface. It's a provider for the IServiceProvider IoC container.
  • ODataBatchOperationRequestMessage now implements IServiceCollectionProvider instead of IContainerProvider.
  • ODataBatchOperationResponseMessage now implements IServiceCollectionProvider instead of IContainerProvider.

Microsoft.OData.Client

• Obsolete Credentials property dropped from DataServiceContext class. The recommended way to configure credentials is through HttpClientHandler that can be provided using IHttpClientFactory.

• In DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs class, the DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs(string, Uri, bool, bool, IDictionary<string, string>) constructor has changed to DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs(string, Uri, bool, IDictionary<string, string>). The boolean useDefaultCredentials parameter is no longer supported.
• In DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs class, the DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs(string, Uri, bool, bool, IDictionary<string, string>, IHttpClientHandlerProvider) constructor has changed to DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs(string, Uri, bool, IDictionary<string, string>, IHttpClientFactory). The boolean useDefaultCredentials parameter is no longer supported.
• In DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs class, the UseDefaultCredentials property dropped from DataServiceClientRequestMessageArgs class. The recommended way to configure credentials is through HttpClientHandler that can be provided using IHttpClientFactory.
