gbc and Bond compiler library

• The C++ Comm .cpp template has been renamed to comm_cpp from
  types_comm_cpp to match the file it generates.
• Add export-attribute option for C++ and make apply-attribute a
  deprecated synonym for export-attribute
• Fix C++ Comm build problems when services are shared via DLL.
  Issue #314

C++

• Fixed compatibility with RapidJSON v1.1.0.
  Issue #271
• The minimum supported version of Boost is now 1.58
• The bf utility now supports multiple payloads.
  Pull request #288
• Fixed an issue with aliased enums.
  Pull request #288
• Fixed an issue with template parameter deduction in bond::is_nullable
  that occurs with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Update 3.
  Issue #306

C#

• Added controls to cap pre-allocation during deserialization of containers
  and blobs.
• Fixed computation of default value for aliased bool and wstring fields.
  Issue #300

C# Comm

• Resources are now properly cleaned up if failures are encountered when
  establishing client-side Epoxy connections.
• The generated interfaces for services are now public. They were
  inadvertently internal before.

5.1.0

5.1.0: 2016-11-14

• gbc & compiler library: 0.7.0.0
• IDL core version: 2.0
• IDL comm version: 1.2
• C++ version: 5.1.0
• C# NuGet version: 5.1.0
• C# Comm NuGet version: 0.9.0

gbc and Bond compiler library

• Added initial support for generating C++ Comm services and proxies.
• The Haskell utility functions structName and structParams were renamed
  to className and classParams (in the Language.Bond.Codegen.Cpp.Util
  module).

C++ Comm

• The initial C++ Comm code has been merged in, but there is still work left
  to be done before the first preview release. Use at your own risk.

C#

• Bond C# now supports
  .NET Standard 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6,
  so you can use Bond in .NET Core applications.
  Pull request #243
  • Not all assemblies work with all versions of the .NET Standard or on
    all platforms. The
    manual
    lists which assemblies target which frameworks.
  • Bond C# Comm is not yet building with .NET Core toolchain, so its
    .NET Core support is preliminary.
• Bond.JSON now depends on Newsoft.JSON 9.0.1, the earliest version that
  supports .NET Standard 1.0.
• A new assembly, Bond.Reflection.dll, has been added, due to some internal
  refactoring needed for .NET Core support. Many of the Bond assemblies now
  have a dependency on this assembly, so you'll need to deploy it. If you
  use NuGet to consume Bond, this is should be handled automatically.
• Fixed a bug in the MSBuild targets that caused codegen to always be run if
  all of the BondCodegen items have Options metadata.
• Fixed a bug in the MSBuild targets that caused compilation to fail if the
  $BondOutputDirectory did not end with a trailing slash.

C# Comm

• The constructor for LayerStackProvider no longer requires a logger;
  instead, the transport's logger is passed to OnSend/OnReceive. Before,
  using the same logger with a transport and LayerStackProvider required a
  duplicate implementation.
• Fixed a bug that prevented EpoxyListener from accepting multiple
  connections in parallel.

cs-comm-0.8.0

C# Comm 0.8.0: 2016-10-12

• C# Comm NuGet version: 0.8.0

C# Comm

• EpoxyTransport can be configured to enable TCP keep-alive to help detect
  dead connections. See EpoxyTransportBuilder.SetKeepAliveTimes for
  details.

5.0.0

5.0.0: 2016-09-12

• gbc & compiler library: 0.6.0.0

• IDL comm version: 1.1
• C++ version: 5.0.0
• C# NuGet version: 5.0.0
• C# Comm NuGet version: 0.7.0

IDL comm

• Update IDL to conform to naming conventions.
• Adjust IDL for changes made to Epoxy internals

C++

• Generated enum types now have a FromEnum method that can be used to
  convert from an enum value to a string. Now generated enum types have all
  four of ToEnum, FromEnum, ToString, and FromString. (The ...Enum
  variants return false on failure, while the ...String variants throw.)
• Runtime SchemaDef list_sub_type field removed, as it was breaking some
  consumers of serialized SchemaDef. We plan to restore this field in the
  future.
  Issue #161 re-opened

C#

• Runtime SchemaDef list_sub_type field removed, as it was breaking some
  consumers of serialized SchemaDef. We plan to restore this field in the
  future.
  Issue #161 re-opened
• The Bond.Runtime NuGet package no longer artificially limits
  Newtonsoft.Json to versions before 10.
  Issue #212

C# Comm

• EpoxyListeners can now be configured to require clients to authenticate
  themselves with a certificate. This is configured via the
  clientCertificateRequired parameter when creating an
  EpoxyServerTlsConfig.
• Internals of the Epoxy protocol cleaned up. See the
  updated wire format specification.

4.3.0

This release has been recalled. Please use 5.0.0 instead. See the CHANGELOG for what was changed.

4.2.1

4.2.1: 2016-06-02

• gbc & compiler library: 0.4.1.0
• C# NuGet version: 4.2.1
• C# Comm NuGet version: 0.5.0

gbc

• Support for parsing
  service definitions
  and generating C# service bases, interfaces, and proxies.

    services
    and
    methods
    have been added to the compiler AST.

  Deserializer.TryDeserialize().

  to make it easier to consume Bond piecemeal.
  • Bond.Compiler: contains gbc, bond.bond, and bond_const.bond in a
    tools-only package
  • Bond.Compiler.CSharp: contains gbc and C# MSBuild targets. No longer
    do you have to consume Bond.CSharp (which pulls in all of the rest of
    Bond) just to get codegen.

  Bond Communications framework.
