Changes

Package version updates

• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration packages use 11.0.0-preview.2.26078.113 (separate build cadence from EF)

Source code changes required by EF Core breaking changes

• NpgsqlStructuralJsonTypeMapping: Changed base class from JsonTypeMapping (now obsolete) to StructuralJsonTypeMapping (Implement JSON_CONTAINS() for primitive collections dotnet/efcore#37562)
• NpgsqlModelValidator:
  • ValidateValueGeneration: Removed IEntityType parameter to match new base signature (Redo model validation to stop looping for every check dotnet/efcore#37646)
  • ValidateStoredProcedures: Changed from IModel to IEntityType parameter (Redo model validation to stop looping for every check dotnet/efcore#37646)
  • ValidateTypeMappings: Removed from base class; moved logic to custom ValidateNpgsqlValueGenerationStrategies method called from Validate() (Redo model validation to stop looping for every check dotnet/efcore#37646)
• PgTableValuedFunctionExpression and PgUnnestExpression: Update() method signature changed from IReadOnlyList(SqlExpression) to IReadOnlyList(Expression) to match base class (Refactor method/member translators to stop using reflection lookup dotnet/efcore#37656)
• NpgsqlShapedQueryExpressionExtensions: Added explicit cast for Arguments pattern match (now IReadOnlyList(Expression))
• FromSqlQueryNpgsqlTest: Replaced FromSqlInterpolated() with FromSql() (Obsolete {FromSql,ExecuteSql}Interpolated dotnet/efcore#37576)
• JSON test files: Disambiguated JsonExists calls due to new RelationalDbFunctionsExtensions.JsonExists (Implement EF.Functions.JsonExists dotnet/efcore#37477)

Test overrides added for new/renamed base class tests

• Select_associate_and_target_to_index_based_binding_via_closure added to multiple association test classes
• GroupBy_Property_Select_MaxBy and GroupBy_Property_Select_MinBy added to NorthwindGroupByQueryNpgsqlTest
• Column_collection_of_strings_Contains and Parameter_collection_of_nullable_ints_Contains_nullable_int_with_EF_Parameter added to PrimitiveCollectionsQueryNpgsqlTest
• Column_collection_of_strings_contains_null renamed to Column_collection_of_strings_Contains_null
• SQL baselines updated for ComplexTableSplittingProjectionNpgsqlTest and ComplexJsonProjectionNpgsqlTest
