Fluent 3.0.0 RC 3

New:

• Generic database queries: QueryBuilder and SchemaBuilder now store query types generic to each specific database. This means you can now do much of what required raw SQL queries with type-safe Swift!
• Timestampable & SoftDeletable are now part of Model: This allows for users to opt in to exactly which timestamps they would like to use. It also removes a lot of type-erasing and casting that needed to happen internally. New lifecycle hooks have been added for soft-deletion as well.
• Generic transactions + convenience methods: Transactions now allow for a generic return type. Use the new convenience method on DatabaseConnectable to perform a transaction.
• Data and KeyPath conversion failures are now assertions. This makes working with Fluent a lot easier (huge reduction in try statements) for what really should be develop-time errors.
• Aggregates are now generic.
• New update(data:) and create(data:) methods on QueryBuilder allow for easy batch updates.
• Joins now support joining additional models to previously joined tables.

Fixed:

• Tons of bug fixes throughout Fluent and all of its drivers.

Breaking changes:

• Model entity now defaults to the model's type name. It no longer attempts to create a lowercased, pluralized string. Implement static var entity: String on your model if you want to define a custom entity (#492).
• Timestampable and SoftDeletable key paths must now be optional. Not-implementing these key paths (or returning nil) is equivalent to not conforming to the protocol.
• join methods have been simplified: join(\Pet.userID, to: \User.id)
• Please report any breaking changes you notice not listed--they may be unintentional
