| 2008-08-15 version 2.0.1: |
|
|
| protoc
|
| * New flags --encode and --decode can be used to convert between protobuf text
|
| format and binary format from the command-line.
|
| * New flag --descriptor_set_out can be used to write FileDescriptorProtos for
|
| all parsed files directly into a single output file. This is particularly
|
| useful if you wish to parse .proto files from programs written in languages
|
| other than C++: just run protoc as a background process and have it output
|
| a FileDescriptorList, then parse that natively.
|
| * Improved error message when an enum value's name conflicts with another
|
| symbol defined in the enum type's scope, e.g. if two enum types declared
|
| in the same scope have values with the same name. This is disallowed for
|
| compatibility with C++, but this wasn't clear from the error. |
| * Fixed absolute output paths on Windows.
|
| * Allow trailing slashes in --proto_path mappings. |
|
|
| C++
|
| * Reflection objects are now per-class rather than per-instance. To make this
|
| possible, the Reflection interface had to be changed such that all methods
|
| take the Message instance as a parameter. This change improves performance
|
| significantly in memory-bandwidth-limited use cases, since it makes the
|
| message objects smaller. Note that source-incompatible interface changes
|
| like this will not be made again after the library leaves beta.
|
| * Heuristically detect sub-messages when printing unknown fields. |
| * Fix static initialization ordering bug that caused crashes at startup when
|
| compiling on Mac with static linking. |
| * Fixed TokenizerTest when compiling with -DNDEBUG on Linux.
|
| * Fixed incorrect definition of kint32min.
|
| * Fix bytes type setter to work with byte sequences with embedded NULLs. |
| * Other irrelevant tweaks. |
| |
| Java
|
| * Fixed UnknownFieldSet's parsing of varints larger than 32 bits.
|
| * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of "inf" and "nan".
|
| * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of comments.
|
| * Added info to Java POM that will be required when we upload the
|
| package to a Maven repo. |
| |
| Python
|
| * MergeFrom(message) and CopyFrom(message) are now implemented.
|
| * SerializeToString() raises an exception if the message is missing required
|
| fields.
|
| * Code organization improvements.
|
| * Fixed doc comments for RpcController and RpcChannel, which had somehow been
|
| swapped. |
| * Fixed text_format_test on Windows where floating-point exponents sometimes
|
| contain extra zeros.
|
| * Fix Python service CallMethod() implementation. |
| |
| Other |
| * Improved readmes. |
| * VIM syntax highlighting improvements. |
| |
| 2008-07-07 version 2.0.0: |
| |
| * First public release. |
