The [packed=true] option only affects serializers. + Therefore, it is possible to switch a field to packed format without + breaking backwards-compatibility -- as long as all parties are using + protobuf 2.3.0 or above, at least. + * The generic RPC service code generated by the C++, Java, and Python + generators can be disabled via file options: + option cc_generic_services = false; + option java_generic_services = false; + option py_generic_services = false; + This allows plugins to generate alternative code, possibly specific to some + particular RPC implementation. + + protoc + * Now supports a plugin system for code generators. Plugins can generate + code for new languages or inject additional code into the output of other + code generators. Plugins are just binaries which accept a protocol buffer + on stdin and write a protocol buffer to stdout, so they may be written in + any language. See src/google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.proto. + * inf, -inf, and nan can now be used as default values for float and double + fields. + + C++ + * Various speed and code size optimizations. + * DynamicMessageFactory is now fully thread-safe. + * Message::Utf8DebugString() method is like DebugString() but avoids escaping + UTF-8 bytes. + * Compiled-in message types can now contain dynamic extensions, through use + of CodedInputStream::SetExtensionRegistry(). + + Java + * parseDelimitedFrom() and mergeDelimitedFrom() now detect EOF and return + false/null instead of throwing an exception. + * Fixed some initialization ordering bugs. + * Fixes for OpenJDK 7. + + Python + * 10-25 times faster than 2.2.0, still pure-Python. + * Calling a mutating method on a sub-message always instantiates the message + in its parent even if the mutating method doesn't actually mutate anything + (e.g. parsing from an empty string). + * Expanded descriptors a bit. + 2009-08-11 version 2.2.0: C++ |
