Revision 92: All Languages * Repeated fields of primitive types (types other that string, group, and nested messages) may now use the option [packed = true] to get a more efficient encoding. In the new encoding, the entire list is written as a single byte blob using the "length-delimited" wire type. Within this blob, the individual values are encoded the same way they would be normally except without a tag before each value (thus, they are tightly "packed").
C++ * UnknownFieldSet now supports STL-like iteration. * Message interface has method ParseFromBoundedZeroCopyStream() which parses a limited number of bytes from an input stream rather than parsing until EOF. Java * Fixed bug where Message.mergeFrom(Message) failed to merge extensions. * Message interface has new method toBuilder() which is equivalent to newBuilderForType().mergeFrom(this). * All enums now implement the ProtocolMessageEnum interface. * Setting a field to null now throws NullPointerException. * Fixed tendency for TextFormat's parsing to overflow the stack when parsing large string values. The underlying problem is with Java's regex implementation (which unfortunately uses recursive backtracking rather than building an NFA). Worked around by making use of possesive quantifiers. Python * Updated RPC interfaces to allow for blocking operation. A client may now pass None for a callback when making an RPC, in which case the call will block until the response is received, and the response object will be returned directly to the caller. This interface change cannot be used in practice until RPC implementations are updated to implement it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
