on GitHub

MagicalRecord 2.3 is the final 2.x point release of MagicalRecord. It is also the final release that will support the iOS 6.x and OS X 10.8 SDKs.

What's new?

• Saves should no longer block the main thread when saving on a background context
• Enable support for passing nil to + createInContext: — this allows you to create entities that aren't associated with any context
• Make -MR_inContext: work on entities with temporary NSManagedObjectIDs
• Deleting an entity in a context other than it's own will delete the entity in the other context
• Many fixes and improvements to the data import categories, including:
  • Fixes to importing relationships
  • Fixes timezone issues on dates when importing
  • Add support for importing NSDate attributes from UNIX timestamps
  • Add support for importing objects without a primary key (primaryAttribute) specified — this creates a new instance on each import
• Added +[MagicalRecord version] that returns the current release as a double (see also MagicalRecordVersionNumber constant)
• Added methods to perform aggregate operations on entities that can be grouped by a key path
• Report an error if the persistent store fails to initialise when shouldDeleteStoreOnModelMismatch is set to NO
• Clear cached NSManagedObjectContext instances that aren't on the main thread during cleanup
• Updated documentation
• Various smaller bug fixes and performance improvements

Please report any issues you find and be sure to mention that you're using this version (v2.3.0-beta.1)
