Reflector Release Notes

v5

5.2 - September 8, 2026

Feature

New trim and AOT safe GetReflector() overload that only returns a source-generated reflector. The existing GetReflector(bool fallbackToTrueReflection) overload keeps the runtime reflection escape hatch and is now marked [RequiresUnreferencedCode], so the trimmer warns when you leave the safe path

Fix

TrueReflectionReflectorClass, ReflectorJsonConverter and ReflectorJsonConverter<T> are annotated with [RequiresUnreferencedCode]/[RequiresDynamicCode]. They were silently producing IL2026, IL2067, IL2070, IL2071 and IL2075 warnings inside the library instead of surfacing the real trim/AOT risk to consumers

Fix

TryGetValue<T> now annotates its out parameter with [MaybeNullWhen(false)], so nullable flow analysis is correct when the property is missing

v4

4.1 - May 29, 2026

Feature

New ReflectorExpressionExtensions — strongly-typed, expression-based property access. GetPropertyName(x => x.Prop) extracts a property name from a lambda, and IReflectorClass gains GetProperty, GetValue, and SetValue overloads that take an x => x.Prop expression instead of a string key. Unary boxing conversions for value/nullable types are handled automatically

4.0 - May 18, 2026
