lass 1.4.0

Bramz — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:44:51 +0000

Cocamware proudly presents a new stable release: lass 1.4.0. Most of the changes since 1.2 are located in the python export library. Class definitions are now fully contained in a single object, simplifying a lot of the export functions. Some utility functions have be added to execute Python code from C++. MultiCallbacks have been added, with a nice Python export too. And much more …

lass r1000

We’re proud to announce our thousandth commit to the subversion repository. More than enough reason for a party, and we are celebrating the event with a special release: lass-r1000.

As an intermediate release, this is in fact version 1.3.8 of our trunk, and as such it is to be considered as a work in progress. However, we’re closing in on lass 1.4 and this release is a good preview. Most notable changes since lass 1.2 are:

Python:
- Shadow classes have been refurnished using template techniques. The pointer type to the shadowee is pluggable to define ownership rules (by default util::SharedPtr). Tracked and weak shadow classes are get rid of, and downcasting happens automatically now. ShadoweeTraits have been introduced to help identifying the shadow class of a C++ type.
- Multicallback as your powertool for callbacks between Python and C++
- PyMap and PySequence have gotten new ownership rules: by default you get copies, to share ownership used util::SharedPtr.
- PyExportTraits have been streamlined and are now more consistent and modular
- Introduction of ModuleDefinition and ClassDefinition as a first class citizen to define Python modules and types. Although ClassDefinition is still hidden beneath the macros, ModuleDefinition can easily be manipulated directly.
- Compatibility with Python 3.0
Restructuring of the directory layout of the source code
Ported to OpenSolaris

lass 1.2.1

Bramz — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:36:20 +0000

We’ve made a maintenance release of the 1.2 branch: lass-1.2.1. It contains a few bug and build fixes discovered in the 1.2 branch:

Python:
- CallMethod::set: make class of method a template parameter
- RichCompare: const char* symbols to fix build warning
- PyExportTraits: adding missing static specifier.
NumTraits:
- default NumTraits is empty, so you get compiler errors for missing specialisations instead of linker errors.
- add specialisation for ‘long long’.
CrashDump:
- fix opcodes for x64 platform.
IdGenerator:
- qualify as volatile to fix bug on some platforms.
Tests:
- introduce tolerances for some floating point comparisons that were failing.
Others:
- included , headers where necessary.

lass 1.2.0

Bramz — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:14:29 +0000

We’re proud to announce that we’ve made our second official release: lass-1.2.0. It does not yet contain the file shuffling changes as previously explained. As the trunk is undergoing a few larger (somewhat unstable) changes, this release is a snapshot of the last known stable state of the trunk before this work has started.

first official release

We’re proud to announce we’ve made a first official source code release: lass-1.0.0. Until now, we’ve never felt the need of explicit tarball releases as the CVS repository was a sufficient way of distributing the code. But this has changed a little, so here it is. Meanwhile, we’ll continue working on Lass 1.1 in the code repository =)
