-# ChangeLog of beta Features for CDS compiler and backends
-
-<!-- markdownlint-disable MD024 -->
-<!-- markdownlint-disable MD004 -->
-<!-- (no-duplicate-heading)-->
-
-Note: `beta` fixes, changes and features are listed in this ChangeLog just for information.
-The compiler behavior concerning `beta` features can change at any time without notice.
-**Don't use `beta` fixes, changes and features in productive mode.**
-
-## Version 6.0.8 - 2025-05-23
-
-### Added `v7preview`
-
-Use this beta flag to enable features that will be available for cds-compiler v7.

-
-### Added `temporalRawProjection`
-
-Enables revocation of temporal where clause in projections of temporal entities if the
-`@cds.valid { from, to }` annotations on the projection elements have falsy values.
-
-## Version 4.8.0 - 2024-03-21
-
-### Removed `vectorType`
-
-It is now always enabled.
-
-### Added `v5preview`
-
-Sneak preview into incompatible changes that are about to be shipped with compiler version 5.
-
-## Version 4.6.0 - 2024-01-26
-
-### Added `vectorType`
-
-Using this beta flag, the new type `cds.Vector` is available for modeling.
-
-## Version 4.5.0 - 2023-12-08
-
-### Added `odataAnnotationExpressions`
-
-This flag allows to use expressions as annotation values, e.g.
-`@anno: (1+2)` and to enable OData specific transformations on those expressions.
-
-### Added `tenantVariable`
-
-If this beta flag is enabled, variable `$tenant` can be used without explicit replacement value.
-
-### Added feature "associations as direct calculated element values"
-
-This beta feature does not require a flag.  It is now possible to use associations with
-filters as direct values of calculated elements (on-read), e.g. `calc = assoc[ID = 1]`.
-
-## Version 4.3.0 - 2023-09-29
-
-### Removed `associationDefault`
-
-This flag is now the default. Managed associations with exactly one foreign key can now
-have a default value.
-
-## Version 4.1.0 - 2023-07-28
-
-### Added `associationDefault`
-
-With this beta flag enabled, managed associations with exactly one foreign key can now
-have a default value.
-
-### Removed `aspectWithoutElements`
-
-Aspects without elements can now be defined without beta flag, e.g. `aspect A;`.
-
-## Version 4.0.0 - 2023-06-06
-
-### Removed `v4preview`
-
-`v4preview` is now the default.
-
-### Removed `calculatedElementsOnWrite`
-
-It is now enabled by default.  The feature is still "beta".
-
-### Removed `ignoreAssocPublishingInUnion`
-
-The behavior is now the default.  If you still want to get an error message for
-ignored published associations in unions, you can change the severity of message
-`query-ignoring-assoc-in-union` to an error via `options.severities`.
-
-## Version 3.9.2 - 2023-04-27
-
-### Removed `odataOpenType`
-
-This feature is now set to production mode.
-
-## Version 3.9.0 - 2023-04-20
-
-### Added `calculatedElementsOnWrite`
-
-Allows to define calculated elements "on-write" in entities and aspects.
-For example:
-
-```cds
-entity E { one: Integer; two = one + 1 stored; };
-```
-
-When a row is added to `E`, column `two` will be set automatically
-in databases supporting generated columns.
-
-## Version 3.8.0 - 2023-03-27
-
-### Added `v4preview`
-
-This beta flags tries to imitate cds-compiler v4 behavior.
-This includes new compiler messages as well as potentially breaking changes.
-
-Enable this beta flag to ease upgrading to cds-compiler v4.
-
-This flag does not guarantee full compatibility with v4, but only
-helps to identify potential issues as soon as possible.
-
-### Removed `calculatedElements`
-
-Now enabled per default.
-
-## Version 3.7.0 - 2023-02-22
-
-### Added `annotationExpressions`
-
-This option allows to use expressions as annotation values, e.g.
-`@anno: (1+2)`.
-
-### Added `calculatedElements`
-
-Allows to define calculated elements in entities and aspects.  When used in views, they
-are replaced by their value, for example:
-
-```cds
-entity E { one: Integer; two = one + 1; };
-entity P as projection on E { two };
-// P is the same as:
-entity P as projection on E { one + 1 as two };
-```
-
-This allows to define calculations centrally at the entity, which can be used by
-other views.
-
-## Version 3.5.0 - 2022-12-07
-
-### Added `odataTerms`
-
-Allows to introduce and use new `Edm.Term`s in an OData API
-based on CDS annotations. Annotations must be service members,
-they can't be autoexposed.
-
-## Version 3.4.0 - 2022-10-26
-
-### Added `aspectWithoutElements`
-
-- Aspects can now be defined without elements, e.g. `aspect A;`. This allows the definition of annotation-only aspects.
- Views can be extended by such an aspect. For example:
-  ```cds
-  entity V as projection on SomeEntity;
-  @anno aspect A;
-  extend V with A;
-  ```
-
-### Added `sqlMigration`
-
-- to.sql.migration: Offer something similar to to.hdi.migration, but for general SQL. Don't offer a complete out-of-the-box schema evolution, instead only
-allow lossless, easy to revert actions like adding a column or extending a string length.
-
-## Version 3.3.0 - 2022-09-29
-
-### Removed `nestedProjections`
-
-- This is now the default - see CHANGELOG entry for 3.3.0.
-
-### Fixed `nestedProjections`
-
-- Issue an error for an unexpected `as ‹alias›` for references with `inline`;
-  people likely have confused `inline` with `expand`.
-- Resolving references in the user-provided `on` condition of projected or newly-defined
-  associations inside `expand` and `inline` now works correctly.
-- Correct `key` propagation for references with `expand` or `inline`.
-- If an element is projected with sibling `expand`, the original data structure is usually
-  _not preserved_ (why use an `expand` if it is?).  Therefore, the compiler cannot auto-rewrite
-  the `on` condition of unmanaged associations if such an element is referred to in the original
-  `on` condition.  In that case, provide your own via `…: redirected to … on ‹condition›`.
-
-## Version 3.1.0 - 2022-08-04
-
-### Added `optionalActionFunctionParameters`
-
-- to.edm(x): Annotate optional function/action parameters with `@Core.OptionalParameter` for OData V4.
-  An action/function parameter is optional if
-  1) it is already annotated with `@Core.OptionalParameter` regardless of its definition.
-  2) it has a default value (including null), regardless of it's nullability
-  3) it has NO default value but is nullable (the implicit default value is null)
-
-  If a mandatory parameter (not null and no default value) appears after an optional
-  parameter, a warning is raised, Core.OptionalParameter requires that all optional
-  parameters appear rightmost.
-
-### Added `odataOpenType`
-
-- to.edm(x): Support annotation `@open` on entity and structured type level to declare the
-  corresponding entity/complex type to be `OpenType=true`. If an open structured type is declared
-  closed (with a falsy annotation value), the corresponding EDM type is closed as well and suffixed
-  with `_closed` (or `_open` vice versa).
-  No further checks are performed on possibly open foreign or primary key types nor on eventually
-  bucket elements to store the additional data.
-
-## Version 3.0.0 - 2022-06-23
-
-### Removed `addTextsLanguageAssoc`
-
-Instead, use the option `addTextsLanguageAssoc`, which is available since v2.8.0.
-
-## Version 2.12.0 - 2022-01-25
-
-### Added `sqlSnippets`
-
-- to.sql/hdi/hdbcds: Introduce the annotations `@sql.prepend` and `@sql.append` that allow inserting user-written SQL snippets into the compiler generated content.
-
-## Version 2.11.0 - 2021-12-02
-
-### Removed `foreignKeyConstraints`
-
-## Version 2.10.4 - 2021-11-05
-
-### Fixed `nestedProjections`
-
-- to.sql/hdi/hdbcds: Correctly handle a `*` at the not-first place in the query
-
-## Version 2.6.0 - 2021-08-23
-
-### Removed `pretransformedCSN`
-
-### Removed `renderSql`
-
-### Removed `keylessManagedAssoc`
-
-This is now the default - see CHANGELOG entry for 2.6.0
-
-### Fixed `nestedProjections`
-
-- to.sql/hdi/hdbcds: now work correctly when nested projections are used
-
-### Fixed `foreignKeyConstraints`
-
-- Always use the name of the association / backlink compared to
-  `$self` as name suffix for a constraint
-- Composition of one always result in:
-  + ON DELETE RESTRICT
-  + ON UPDATE RESTRICT
-- Composition of one w/o backlink will result in a constraint in
-  the entity where the composition is defined
-
-## Version 2.4.4 - 2021-07-02
-
-### Added `nestedProjections`
-
-- Support `expand`: columns can look like `assoc_or_struct_or_tabalias { col_expression1, … }`,
-  `longer.ref as name { *, … } excluding { … }`, `{ col_expression1 as sub1, … } as name`, etc.
-- Support `inline`: columns can look like `assoc_or_struct_or_tabalias.{ col_expression1, … }`,
-  `longer.ref[filter = condition].{ *, … } excluding { … }`, `assoc_or_struct_or_tabalias.*`, etc.
-- _Some checks are missing and will be added! Minor changes might occur._
-- **The SQL backends might not work properly yet if nested projections are used!**
-
-## Version 2.4.2 - 2021-07-01
-
-### Added `keylessManagedAssoc`
-
-- Support managed associations without foreign keys. Associations targeting a definition without primary keys or with an
-  explicit empty foreign key tuple or with empty structured elements as foreign keys and their corresponding `$self`
-  comparisons do not describe the relationship between the source and the target entity.
-  These associations can be used to establish API navigations but cannot be used to access elements in the target
-  entity as they cannot be transformed into a valid JOIN expression.
-  Consequently, these associations are not added to the `WITH ASSOCIATIONS` clause or forwarded to HANA CDS.
-  Managed Associations without foreign keys must be enabled with `--beta: keylessManagedAssoc`
-
-## Version 2.4.0 - 2021-06-28
-
-### Changed `foreignKeyConstraints`
-
-- `toSql`/`toHdbcds`: omit constraint generation if the option `skipDbConstraints` is set
-- If the database constraints are switched off by the global option,
-  render constraints nevertheless if an association / composition
-  is annotated with `@cds.persistence.assert.integrity: true`
-- omit constraint generation if an association / composition
-  is annotated with `@cds.persistence.assert.integrity: false`
-  -> for managed compositions, the `up_` link in the compositions target entity
-  will not result in a constraint if the composition is annotated as described
-
-## Version 2.0.8
-
-### Added `foreignKeyConstraints`
-
-to.sql/to.hdi: If the beta option `foreignKeyConstraints` is supplied,
-referential constraints are generated for compliant associations and compositions.
-
-## Version 2.0.2
-
-### Removed `dontRenderVirtualElements`
-
-Virtual elements are no longer rendered in views as `null as <id>` or
-added to potentially generated draft tables. This behavior can be turned off
-with deprecated option `renderVirtualElements` for backward compatibility.
-
-### Removed `originalKeysForTemporal`
-
-### Removed `odataDefaultValues`
-
-OData: Default values for EntityType properties are rendered always.
-
-### Removed `subElemRedirections`
-
-This option is now enabled by default.
-
-### Removed `keyRefError`
-
-## Version 1.44.0
-
-### Added `addTextsLanguageAssoc`
-
-When the beta option `addTextsLanguageAssoc` is set to true and
-the model contains an entity `sap.common.Languages` with an element `code`,
-all generated texts entities additionally contain an element `language`
-which is an association to `sap.common.Languages` using element `locale`.
-
-## Version 1.43.0
-
-### Changed `subElemRedirections`
-
-When the beta option `subElemRedirections` is set to true,
-_all_ array (new!) and structure types are expanded when referenced:
-managed associations (and compositions to entities) in that array are
-implicitly redirected when necessary.
-See [below for details](#version-1300---2020-06-12).
-
-Nested array types (without intermediate structure types) are not supported.
-
-### Added `ignoreAssocPublishingInUnion`
-
-For `to.hdbcds`, with beta flag `ignoreAssocPublishingInUnion` in conjunction with dialect
-`hanaJoins`, unmanaged associations in UNIONs are silently ignored and managed associations
-are replaced by their foreign keys and silently ignored
-
-## Version 1.36.0 - 2020-08-07
-
-### Added `mapAssocToJoinCardinality`
-
-Analog to the feature `cardinality for explicit joins`, the association to
-join transformation algorithm now experimentally supports join cardinalities as well.
-The default cardinality `MANY TO ONE` is added to the join node if no cardinality has
-been specified.
-
-### Added `odataDefaultValues`
-
-OData: Enables the rendering of default values for EntityType properties.
-
-### Added `originalKeysForTemporal`
-
-OData: The original entity keys are not enhanced with `@cds.valid.from` or replaced with
-`@cds.valid.key` elements. The `@Core.AlternateKeys` only mentions the `@cds.valid.key` element.
-
-### Added `dontRenderVirtualElements`
-
-Virtual elements are no longer rendered in views as `null as <id>` or added to potentially generated
-draft tables. This behavior can be turned off with `renderVirtualElements` for backward compatibility.
-
-### Removed `noJoinsForForeignKeys`
-
-The association to join transformation treats foreign key accesses with priority now.
-
-### Removed `uniqueconstraints`
-
-Unique constraints are now generally available.
-
-## Version 1.33.0 - 2020-08-24
-
-### Added `hanaAssocRealCardinality`
-
-Render JOIN cardinality in native HANA association if provided. If no cardinality has been specified.
-
-## Version 1.32.0 - 2020-07-10
-
-### Removed `aspectCompositions`
-
-Aspect compositions aka managed compositions are now available without beta option.
-_Warning_: the CSN representation can still change.
-
-## Version 1.31.0 - 2020-06-26
-
-### Changed `subElemRedirections`
-
-Signal an error
-if an unmanaged association as sub element is to be implicitly redirected,
-as we do not automatically rewrite the `on` condition in that situation yet.
-
-## Version 1.30.0 - 2020-06-12
-
-### Added `subElemRedirections`
-
-When the beta option `subElemRedirections` is set to true,
-_all_ structure types are expanded when referenced:
-
-- managed associations (and compositions to entities) are implicitly redirected
-  when necessary,
-- sub elements of referred structure types can be annotated individually,
-- the resulting CSN is bigger (will be reduced in the future if possible)
-  as `type` references to structures will now have a sibling `elements`.
-
-This option does not enable:
-
-- rewriting the `on` conditions of associations in sub elements,
-- aspect compositions as sub elements,
-- `localized` sub elements,
-- `key` property on sub elements.
-
-## Version 1.23.0
-
-### Added `keyRefError`
-
-Always signal an error (instead of just a warning in some cases),
-if not all references in the `keys` of a managed associations
-are projected in the new target.

-# ChangeLog of deprecated features for CDS compiler and backends
-
-<!-- markdownlint-disable MD024 -->
-<!-- (no-duplicate-heading)-->
-
-Note: `deprecated` features are listed in this ChangeLog just for information.
-`deprecated` features will be removed after a certain grace period.
-
-**Use `deprecated` features only transitional in productive mode.**
-
-**When the `deprecated` option is set, the `beta` option is ignored,
-and several new features are not available.**
-
-## Version 6.0.8 - 2025-05-23
-
-### Added `noQuasiVirtualAssocs`
-
-If set, managed to-many associations will get foreign keys again.
-In cds-compiler v6, managed to-many associations without explicit foreign keys
-don't get `keys` anymore.  This flag restores v5 behavior.
-
-### Added `noCompositionIncludes`
-
-If set, generated entities for composition-of-named-aspect will not
-get an `includes` property.
-
-### Added `noPersistenceJournalForGeneratedEntities`
-
-If set, `@cds.persistence.journal` will _not_ be propagated to generated entities,
-including generated `.texts` entities for localized entities, nor generated entities
-for compositions-of-aspect.
-
-In cds-compiler v6, this annotation is copied to `.texts` entities as well as
-generated composition-of-aspect entities it by default.
-
-### Removed `includesNonShadowedFirst`
-
-### Removed `eagerPersistenceForGeneratedEntities`
-
-### Removed `noKeyPropagationWithExpansions`
-
-
-## Version 4.2.0 - 2023-08-29
-
-### Added `noKeyPropagationWithExpansions`
-
-When this option is set, element `id` in types `Orig` and `I` are keys,
-but `id` in `D` is not.
-
-```cds
-type Orig { key id: Integer };
-type I: Orig {};
-type D: Orig;
-```
-
-When this option is not set, element `id` in all three types are keys.
-
-## Version 4.0.0 - 2023-06-06
-
-### Added `downgradableErrors`
-
-Allow to change the severity of some errors which are meant to stay errors in v4.
-
-### Added `includesNonShadowedFirst`
-
-Use this flag to keep adding elements from included definitions first, example:
-
-```cds
-entity A { one: Integer; two: String(10); three: Integer; }
-entity E : A { two: String(12); }
-// v3:  one, three, two
-// v4:  one, two, three
-```
-
-### Added `ignoreSpecifiedQueryElements`
-
-Use this flag if you want to ignore a query's `elements`, except for annotations and doc comments.
-cds-compiler v3 and earlier simply ignored a query element except for its annotations.
-cds-compiler v4 resolves the element's type.
-
-### Removed `autoCorrectOrderBySourceRefs`
-
-Instead of this deprecated flag, you can downgrade error message `ref-deprecated-orderby`.
-
-
-## Version 3.1.0 - 2022-08-04
-
-### Added `autoCorrectOrderBySourceRefs`
-
-When this option is set, calling `compile` autocorrects direct `order by`
-source element references without table alias for SELECT queries by adding the
-table alias to the `ref`.
-
-Using this option might lead to surprising results when elements are added to
-existing models: `order by` specifications might change their semantics without
-any extra messages.
-
-## Version 3.0.0 - 2022-06-23
-
-Version 3 of the cds-compiler removes all v2 deprecated flags.
-
-### Add `eagerPersistenceForGeneratedEntities`
-
-If enabled, the old behavior regarding `@cds.persistence.skip` and `@cds.persistence.exists`
-is restored, i.e. these annotations are not copied from parent to generated child entities, nor
-is `@cds.persistence.exists` copied to localized convenience views.
-
-### Removed `createLocalizedViews`
-
-### Removed `downgradableErrors`
-
-### Removed `generatedEntityNameWithUnderscore`
-
-### Removed `longAutoexposed`
-
-### Removed `noElementsExpansion`
-
-<!-- fully removed with 3.1.0 -->
-
-### Removed `noInheritedAutoexposeViaComposition`
-
-### Removed `noScopedRedirections`
-
-### Removed `oldVirtualNotNullPropagation`
-
-### Removed `parensAsStrings`
-
-<!-- fully removed with 3.5.0 -->
-
-### Removed `projectionAsQuery`
-
-### Removed `redirectInSubQueries`
-
-### Removed `renderVirtualElements`
-
-### Removed `shortAutoexposed`
-
-### Removed `unmanagedUpInComponent`
-
-### Removed `v1KeysForTemporal`
-
-## Version 2.13.0 - 2022-03-22
-
-### Added `redirectInSubQueries`
-
-When this option is set, we auto-redirect associations and composition also in
-non-main queries, sometimes without rewriting the `keys`/`on` (there will be no
-fix for this).
-
-### Added `oldVirtualNotNullPropagation`
-
-When this option is set, we do not propagate `notNull` along types.
-Additionally, we propagate `notNull` and `virtual` from a query source element
-to the sub elements of a query entity element, even if the property is not
-propagated to the query entity element itself (like with type references).
-
-
-## Version 2.2.0
-
-### Added `noScopedRedirections`
-
-When this option is set, the definition scope is not taken into account when
-trying to find an implicit redirection target.  Setting the following
-deprecated options also switches off scoped redirections (additionally to their
-other effect): `noElementsExpansion`, `generatedEntityNameWithUnderscore`,
-`shortAutoexposed`, `longAutoexposed`, `noInheritedAutoexposeViaComposition`.
-
-### Added `noInheritedAutoexposeViaComposition`
-
-When this option is set, only entities directly specified after `Composition of` are
-auto-exposed, not entities used as target via explicit or implicit `redirected to`.
-
-## Version 2.0.16
-
-### Added `downgradableErrors`
-
-Allow to change the severity of some errors which should stay to be an error.
-
-### Added `shortAutoexposed`
-
-When this option is set (and `generatedEntityNameWithUnderscore`), the names of
-autoexposed entities are calculated according to the default compiler v1
-behavior (without v1 options `dependentAutoexposed` and `longAutoexposed`).
-
-## Version 2.0.10
-
-### Added `longAutoexposed`
-
-When this option is set (and `generatedEntityNameWithUnderscore`),
-the names of auto-exposed entities are calculated according to the
-compiler v1 option `longAutoexposed`.
-
-### Added `generatedEntityNameWithUnderscore`
-
-Keep using `_` is separator for generated auto-exposed entities and for entities
-created for managed compositions.  It also disables a definition `A.B.C` if `A`
-or `A.B` is a definition other than a context or service (v1 behavior).
-
-## Version 2.0.4-ms1
-
-### Added `createLocalizedViews`
-
-Add localized convenience views in `for.odata`.
-
-### Added `unmanagedUpInComponent`
-
-Render association `up_` in composition component unmanaged.
-
-## Version 2.0.2-ms1
-
-### Added `renderVirtualElements`
-
-Virtual elements are no longer rendered in views as `null as <id>` or added to potentially generated
-draft tables. This behavior can be turned off with `renderVirtualElements` for backward compatibility.
-
-### Added `parensAsStrings`
-
-Represent parentheses in expressions with `'('` and `')'` in `xpr` arrays
-instead of using nested `xpr`s or `list`.
-
-### Added `v1KeysForTemporal`
-
-Render old and broken temporal EDM API.
-
-### Added `noElementsExpansion`
-
-When setting it, association in sub elements are not automatically redirected,
-and the sub elements cannot be annotated individually.
-
-Do not use this.  Setting it might avoid some compile errors,
-but in most cases the reported errors are rightly reported.
-
-### Added `projectionAsQuery`
-
-Render `projection` as `query` in CSN.
