=============================================================================== Welcome to the C# port of Google Protocol Buffers, written by Jon Skeet (skeet@pobox.com) based on the work of many talented people. For more information about this port, visit its homepage: http://protobuf-csharp-port.googlecode.com For more information about Protocol Buffers in general, visit the project page for the C++, Java and Python project: http://protobuf.googlecode.com =============================================================================== RELEASE NOTES - Version 2.4.1.473 =============================================================================== Features: - Added option service_generator_type to control service generation with NONE, GENERIC, INTERFACE, or IRPCDISPATCH - Added interfaces IRpcDispatch and IRpcServerStub to provide for blocking services and implementations. - Added ProtoGen.exe command-line argument "--protoc_dir=" to specify the location of protoc.exe. - Extracted interfaces for ICodedInputStream and ICodedOutputStream to allow custom implementation of writers with both speed and size optimizations. - Addition of the "Google.ProtoBuffers.Serialization" assembly to support reading and writing messages to/from XML, JSON, IDictionary<,> and others. - Several performance related fixes and tweeks - Issue 3: Add option to mark generated code with attribute - Issue 20: Support for decorating classes [Serializable] - Issue 21: Decorate fields with [deprecated=true] as [System.Obsolete] - Issue 22: Reusable Builder classes - Issue 24: Support for using Json/Xml formats with ICodedInputStream - Issue 25: Added support for NuGet packages - Issue 31: Upgraded protoc.exe and descriptor to 2.4.1 Fixes: - Issue 13: Message with Field same name as message causes uncompilable .cs - Issue 16: Does not integrate well with other tooling - Issue 19: Support for negative enum values - Issue 26: AddRange in GeneratedBuilder iterates twice. - Issue 27: Remove XML documentation output from test projects to clear warnings/errors. - Issue 28: Circular message dependencies result in null default values for Message fields. - Issue 29: Message classes generated have a public default constructor. You can disable private ctor generation with the option generate_private_ctor. - Issue 35: Fixed a bug in ProtoGen handling of arguments with trailing \ - Big-endian support for float, and double on Silverlight - Packed and Unpacked parsing allow for all repeated, as per version 2.3 - Fix for leaving Builder a public ctor on internal classes for use with generic "where T: new()" constraints. Other: - Changed the code signing key to a privately held key - Reformatted all code and line-endings to C# defaults - Reworking of performance benchmarks to produce reliable results, option /v2 - Issue 34: Silverlight assemblies are now unit tested =============================================================================== RELEASE NOTES - Version 2.3.0.277 =============================================================================== Features: - Added cls_compliance option to generate attributes indicating non-CLS-compliance. - Added file_extension option to control the generated output file's extension. - Added umbrella_namespace option to place the umbrella class into a nested namespace to address issues with proto files having the same name as a message it contains. - Added output_directory option to set the output path for the source file(s). - Added ignore_google_protobuf option to avoid generating code for includes from the google.protobuf package. - Added the LITE framework (Google.ProtoBuffersLite.dll) and the ability to generate code with "option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;". - Added ability to invoke protoc.exe from within ProtoGen.exe. - Upgraded to protoc.exe (2.3) compiler. Fixes: - Issue 9: Class cannot be static and sealed error - Issue 12: default value for enumerate fields must be filled out Other: - Rewrite of build using MSBbuild instead of NAnt - Moved to NUnit Version 2.2.8.0 - Changed to using secure .snk for releases =============================================================================== RELEASE NOTES - Version 0.9.1 =============================================================================== Fixes: - issue 10: Incorrect encoding of packed fields when serialized =============================================================================== RELEASE NOTES - Version 0.9.0 =============================================================================== - Initial release ===============================================================================
