This past reliance doesn't work well with Swift, and the sources
were trying to over hand optimize to minimize rebuilds, and that
likely isn't worth the trouble, so explicit imports.
The remaining places that still use them are where they are
needed within the header to deal with relationships between
the local definitions or where there is a cycle between the
headers and it allows either one to be imported first and still
get a complete definition in the using context.

- Add more to the ObjC dir readme.
- Merge the ExtensionField and ExtensionDescriptor to reduce overhead.
- Fix an initialization race.
- Clean up the Xcode schemes.
- Remove the class/enum filter.
- Remove some forced inline that were bloating things without proof of performance wins.
- Rename some internal types to avoid conflicts with the well know types protos.
- Drop the use of ApplyFunctions to the compiler/optimizer can do what it wants.
- Better document some possible future improvements.
- Add missing support for parsing repeated primitive fields in packed or unpacked forms.
- Improve -hash.
- Add *Count for repeated and map<> fields to avoid auto create when checking for them being set.
- Style fixups in the code.
- map<> serialization fixes and more tests.
- Autocreation of map<> fields (to match repeated fields).
- @@protoc_insertion_point(global_scope|imports).
- Fixup proto2 syntax extension support.
- Move all startup code to +initialize so it happen on class usage and not app startup.
- Have generated headers use forward declarations and move imports into generated code, reduces what is need at compile time to speed up compiled and avoid pointless rippling of rebuilds.
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
