A developer who apparently wants to remain anonymous has added the
function isEmpty() to the rtl::OUString class. See
main/sal/inc/rtl/ustring.hxx for not much more information.
This in itself may not yet be very exciting but I hope that it is the
first of several improvements to one of our most frequently used
classes. Sadly, we missed the opportunity to make some more substantial
but incompatible changes for the 4.0 release. However, some changes that
make OUString more accessible to new (and old) developers might include:
- Make construction from string literal more straightforward. At the
moment you have to write
::rtl::OUString("text", sizeof("text"), RTL_TEXTENCODING_ASCII_US)
or slightly shorter and safer
::rtl::OUString::createFromAscii("text")
- Conversion back to char* is not much better
::rtl::OUStringToOString(sOUStringVariable,
RTL_TEXTENCODING_ASCII_US).getStr()
and I have no idea what happens if the text encoding differs from the
one used to construct sOUStringVariable.
Do you have more ideas?

Andre
