Hi,

I wrote this code which worked with th db18 version of couchbase Lite 2.0, .net c# :

document = new Document("airline_88888");
        airline = new Airline();
        airline.Type = "airline";
        airline.Id = 88888;
        airline.Name = "Steeve";
        airline.Country = "France";
        document.Set("airline_88888", airline);
        DatabaseSd.Save(document);

Since the bd19 vresion, I’ve an exception when I try to save the document :
$exception {System.InvalidCastException: Cannot encode Persistance.Airline to Fleece!

Here is my Airline Class :

public partial class Airline
{
    [JsonProperty("callsign")]
    public string Callsign { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("country")]
    public string Country { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("iata")]
    public string Iata { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("icao")]
    public string Icao { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("id")]
    public long Id { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("type")]
    public string Type { get; set; }

    [JsonIgnore]
    public string Infos { get => $"{Id} - {Country} - {Name}"; }
}

How to save a document ?

Can you please report the above issue as a separate post. This thread is for the announcement.

Thank you, when are we expecting the next build DB 20 that might have fixes for Logging verbosity mismatch that our code currency having problem with after integrating DB18 ? Does new releases come out every month?

The goal is to have a Developer Build out every couple of weeks. We should have DB 20 out pretty soon - tentatively end of this week (@daniel.petersen?)

Can you indicate the specific GitHub issue related to logging that you mention so we can confirm if that’s in DB20.

Thank you Priya. Here is the issue - it’s blocking our logging feature, would be very helpful to have it fixed in DB20

Cool. So looks like @borrrden has fixed it. So it should be in DB20 .

I would plan more for the beginning of next week before it hits the web.

And actually that issue by itself is a really tiny fix. If you patch it onto the db019 commit and build it yourself you can check the change immediately.

Thanks so much. Just wondering if there is a way to get notified immediately when the new release is out there or have to keep checking in the release notes pages every now and then.

Not notified per se, but it will show up in your updates tab on the Manage Nuget Packages portion of Visual Studio.
