v2.0.1-preview.6

Changes

• Default cache lifetime is now a 4 hour sliding expiration.
• Add CleverCacheOptions.DefaultEntryOptions to change the global default during AddCleverCache(...).
• Add [AutoCache] expiration overrides with SlidingExpirationSeconds and AbsoluteExpirationSeconds.
• The new behavior applies across the existing cache stores.

v2.0.1-preview.5

What's changed

• Added type-specific ICacheKeyProvider<T> support with optional assembly scanning.
• Improved canonical key identity for provider-based keys to include source request type and provider type.
• Added risky key-shape detection (delegate/expression/queryable), with warning + cache-skip behavior.
• Updated tests and docs, including a dedicated Cache Key Providers wiki page and highlighted warnings in MediatR/Caching docs.

Validation

• Full solution test suite passing.

v2.0.1-preview.4

What's changed

• Canonicalized cache key identity to use type identity + serialized data across CleverCache internals.
• Equivalent object instances with the same data now map to the same cache entry.
• Type identity now includes namespace + assembly name to avoid collisions between different key types with similar payloads.
• Updated diagnostics to emit canonical keys in KeysByType (exactly what cache uses internally).
• Updated service/store/tests to use canonical keys consistently for lookup, locking, tracking, invalidation, and distributed cache operations.

Fixes included

• Corrected regression introduced during diagnostics refactor and aligned test coverage for canonical diagnostics output.

v2.0.1-preview.3

What's changed

• Improved diagnostics key formatting so complex object keys render as readable object snapshots.
• Materialized deferred enumerable properties in diagnostic keys, so values are shown instead of runtime iterator type names.
• Kept diagnostics behavior unchanged for duplicate keys (no deduplication), as requested.
• Added regression coverage to ensure deferred enumerable keys are emitted in readable, serialization-safe form.

Example improvement

Before:

Names = System.Linq.Enumerable+ListSelectIterator...

After:

Names = ["Size", "Color"]

v2.0.1-preview.2

What's changed

• Fixed diagnostics serialization so cache.GetDiagnostics() is safe to return from API endpoints using JSON serializers.
• Diagnostics now projects complex cache keys (for example delegates/expressions) to JSON-safe values instead of exposing raw runtime objects that can contain circular references.
• Added a regression test to ensure complex keys in diagnostics are emitted as serializable text values.

Why this preview

This preview addresses JsonSerializationException self-referencing loop failures when exposing diagnostics directly via endpoints like:

public IActionResult Get() => Ok(cache.GetDiagnostics());

v2.0.1-preview.1

CleverCache v2.0.1-preview.1

Changes

• Disabled async keyed-lock race condition guard by default (EnableAsyncRaceConditionGuard option in CleverCacheOptions, defaults to false)
• Guard can be re-enabled via options.EnableAsyncRaceConditionGuard = true
• Versioning now driven by MinVer from git tags
