v5.3.0

New features and enhancements

This release opens up query string parsing plus LINQ expression building for extensibility. This means that you can now define and plug in your own functions, available for use in query strings. Also, errors for invalid query string values now include the failure position, along with the ^ marker. See #1286 for details and examples.

Breaking changes

Related to the above, the query string parsers, LINQ builders, and RuntimeTypeConverter have been moved out of .Internal namespaces.

Bugfixes

• Do not execute unneeded SQL query in 1-to-1 relationship update, which fails on EF Core 8 preview.
