- A new construct :class:`.Bundle` is added, which allows for specification
of groups of column expressions to a :class:`.Query` construct.
The group of columns are returned as a single tuple by default. The
behavior of :class:`.Bundle` can be overridden however to provide
any sort of result processing to the returned row. One example included
is :attr:`.Composite.Comparator.bundle`, which applies a bundled form
of a "composite" mapped attribute.
[ticket:2824]
- The :func:`.composite` construct now maintains the return object
when used in a column-oriented :class:`.Query`, rather than expanding
out into individual columns. This makes use of the new :class:`.Bundle`
feature internally. This behavior is backwards incompatible; to
select from a composite column which will expand out, use
``MyClass.some_composite.clauses``.
