SphinxConnector.NET 5.2 has been released

by Dennis 15. November 2022 09:45

We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 5.2 is now available via NuGet! You can also download a build from our site, but that only contains a version for .NET Framework 4.6.1. and higher.

This release adds .NET 7.0 as a new build target. We've removed builds for .NET 5 since it has reached end of support in May. We’ve fixed a bug that was preventing the usage of IndexOf in conjunction with a dictionary that represents a JSON attribute e.g. an expression like this:

((List<string>)x.Properties["Categories"]).IndexOf("Fiction") > -1

SphinxConnector.NET 5.0 has been released

by Dennis 9. February 2021 17:03

We're pleased to announce that SphinxConnector.NET 5.0 is now available via NuGet! You can also download a build from our site, but that only contains a version for .NET Framework 4.6.1. and higher.

With this release we’re saying good bye to Common.Logging, which has been replaced with our own logging abstraction. We’re providing separate NuGet packages for the most commonly used logging frameworks, namely:

Also included in SphinxConnector.NET is a simple console logging provider that can be used during development.

The second change in dependencies is the switch from JSON.NET to System.Text.Json as the default json handler. If for some reason you need to stay on JSON.NET, you can easily do so by implementing your own JsonObjectSerializer.

SphinxConnector.NET now includes builds for .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5.0, where we’ve added implementations for new async methods to SphinxQLDataReader that were introduced with .NET Core 3.1. These builds also contain fluent API support for async enumerables via IFulltextQuery.ToAsyncEnumerable().

The biggest new feature is the introduction of prepared (sometimes also called ‘compiled’) queries to the fluent API.
The idea behind prepared queries is to create a query template that is parsed once and then reused on the following executions thus alleviating the overhead caused by parsing the expression tree and generating the SphinxQL statement. This can lead to significant reductions in allocations and time spend on parsing the expression tree of a query, especially in high load scenarios, while at the same time giving you all the advantages of a strongly typed query API. More about prepared queries can be found in the documentation.
