- Remove some types not needed.
- Remove some files not needed.
- Move some tests files into different prefixes to logically segment things.
- Add objc_class_prefix to the files.
- Use an expected prefix file during generation to exercise that code and
validate things.
- Require prefixes for the test file.
At generation time, walk the file's dependencies to see what really contains
extensions so we can generate more minimal code that only links together the
roots that provided extensions. Gets a bunch of otherwise noop code out of
the call flow when the roots are +initialized.
- Add an Xcode 6.3 created default iOS Project.
- Add an Xcode 6.3 created default OS X Project.
- Add Podfiles to for both that use Protobufs from within the tree.
- Add a script to run the tests (and cleanup) to help confirm the state of the
Protobuf.podspec and sources.
General
* License changed from Apache 2.0 to New BSD.
* It is now possible to define custom "options", which are basically
annotations which may be placed on definitions in a .proto file.
For example, you might define a field option called "foo" like so:
import "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto"
extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions {
optional string foo = 12345;
}
Then you annotate a field using the "foo" option:
message MyMessage {
optional int32 some_field = 1 [(foo) = "bar"]
}
The value of this option is then visible via the message's
Descriptor:
const FieldDescriptor* field =
MyMessage::descriptor()->FindFieldByName("some_field");
assert(field->options().GetExtension(foo) == "bar");
This feature has been implemented and tested in C++ and Java.
Other languages may or may not need to do extra work to support
custom options, depending on how they construct descriptors.
C++
* Fixed some GCC warnings that only occur when using -pedantic.
* Improved static initialization code, making ordering more
predictable among other things.
* TextFormat will no longer accept messages which contain multiple
instances of a singular field. Previously, the latter instance
would overwrite the former.
* Now works on systems that don't have hash_map.
Python
* Strings now use the "unicode" type rather than the "str" type.
String fields may still be assigned ASCII "str" values; they will
automatically be converted.
* Adding a property to an object representing a repeated field now
raises an exception. For example:
# No longer works (and never should have).
message.some_repeated_field.foo = 1
