Bobcat 0.6.0

Release 0.6.0

• Builtins are now native lambdas, meaning they are first class expressions and can be used anywhere other expressions can be used.
  • In other words, one may now compose builtins with other expressions.
  • Added $uniqint() builtin.
  • $incr() may now take an option offset (non-negative integer).
• Changed distribution syntax; distributions may only be used in field declarations. See README for other limitations
• Removed uniform distribution, as this was a dummy wrapper; Builtins already distribute values uniformly.
• Remove unique flag in favor of letting the user compose expressions to yield unique values. $uid(), $uniqint(), and $incr() would be particularly useful.
• Primary key statements (i.e. pk(identifier, builtin_value_generator)) now accept $uniqint as a value generator.

Bobcat 0.5.6

Add more functionality to Date/Time math:

• calculate duration by subtracting a time from another time
• int + time is now the same as time + int
• can concatenate strings and time -- yields a string, honors strftime format
• increased resolution to milliseconds to match JS (and most databases)

Bobcat 0.5.5

* Add ability to perform addition and subtraction on dates

Bobcat 0.5.3

* Added example.lang dependencies to release tarball
* Added support for 1 to many entity relationships through $enum fields

Bobcat 0.5.2

Release 0.5.2

• Distribution syntax is now $distribution()
• Named distributions are referenced by string name (e.g. "normal", "uniform", etc.)
• Fixed edge-case lambda resolution issue when calling lambdas in field declarations

Bobcat 0.5.1

Version 0.5.1

* Includes a minor fix to distributions

Bobcat 0.5.0

Release 0.5.0

• All JSON output (nested, flattened, split) generates object streams (array of JSON objects)
• Added a serial/autoincrementing integer field type
• Added support to modify the primary key field name and generated value (uid vs auto increment)
• Added support for strftime date format when generating random dates
• Ensure errors are annotated with filenames and line numbers
• Support output to STDOUT for command pipelining
• --check flag does a more thorough syntax check
• Predefined date variables UNIX_EPOCH and NOW
• Added support for lambdas
