Ember+ SDK v1.6.0

on GitHub

Overview

Version 1.6.0 of the Ember+ SDK is a feature release that introduces the new Schema extension to the GLOW DTD.

Apart from this new feature this release also contains numerous fixes and stability improvements.

Additions

• Added a Ruby script that converts the premake4 generated VS2012 solution to VS2013 because the automated conversion no longer works reliable strange licensing reasons.
• Added traits to determine the property type from a GLOW type.
• Added libember::ber::ObjectIdentifier::push_back(..) and libember::ber::ObjectIdentifier::push_front(..) to allow building a path iteratively. Changed the underlying container to std::deque<..> in order to support push_front(..).
• Added libember::ber::ObjectIdentifier::back() to access the last element of the OID.
• Added explicit constructor taking an argument of type value_type to some of the enum-wrappers (CommandType, MessageType, Dtd). PackageFlag and Byte already have a non-explicit constructor taking an argument of type value_type.
• Added equality operators for some of the enum-wrapper types.

Fixes

• Fixed issue #13, by changing the visibility of the default constructor of GlowRootElementCollection and setting the root tag in the default constructor.
• Fixed issue #14 by replacing the standard container with a more suitable alternative and storing the stack elements by value.
• Fixed issue #15 by Replacing C++11 specific constructs in libember with their C++03 equivalents and changing the C++ language standard on non-Windows platforms from C++11 to C++03.
• Fixed issue #17, pass (type-erased) iterator by const-reference, because copying it is expensive.
• Fixed macro to generate type-traits, which was causing errors under GCC.
• Fixed GlowTupleItemDescription::type() always returning ParameterType::None.
• Fixed a lot of warnings at high warning levels.
• Fixed errors reported by cppcheck.
• Fixed Simian warnings in various parts of the Ember+ libraries.
• Fixed a broken link in the Ember+ documentation.

Miscellaneous changes

• Declared the step property of the parameter as deprecated.
  The documentation contains a hint that this property may also be removed in future releases of the libraries.
• Declared GlowRootElementCollection::create() as deprecated.
• Corrected target prefix for libember and libember_slim to avoid the double "liblib" prefix on Unix like systems.
• Modified linker options to set RPATH to '.' on Unix like systems.
• Added (currently failing) test for issue #6.
