That looks great! Now, is the jar going to be available on Maven soon? As far as I can tell, the repo is a tad bit outdated: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java

If you > are using the 2.4.0 version, please upgrade to 2.4.0a (the only diff is the > java protobuf-lite problem). > > Documentation updates should be live within a day. > > Special thanks to Kenton Varda for the support and help. > > 2011-02-02 version 2.4.0: > > General > * The RPC (cc|java|py)_generic_services default value is now false instead > of > true. > * Custom options can have aggregate types. For example, > message MyOption { > optional string comment = 1; > optional string author = 2; > } > extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions { > optional MyOption myoption = 12345; > } > This option can now be set as follows: > message SomeType { > optional int32 field = 1 [(myoption) = { comment:'x' author:'y' }]; > } > > C++ > * Various speed and code size optimizations. > * Added a release_foo() method on string and message fields. > * Fixed gzip_output_stream sub-stream handling. > > Java > * Builders now maintain sub-builders for sub-messages. Use getFooBuilder() > to > get the builder for the sub-message "foo". This allows you to repeatedly > modify deeply-nested sub-messages without rebuilding them. > * Builder.build() no longer invalidates the Builder for generated messages > (You may continue to modify it and then build another message). > * Code generator will generate efficient equals() and hashCode() > implementations if new option java_generate_equals_and_hash is enabled. > (Otherwise, reflection-based implementations are used.) > * Generated messages now implement Serializable. > * Fields with [deprecated=true] will be marked with @Deprecated in Java. > * Added lazy conversion of UTF-8 encoded strings to String objects to > improve > performance. > * Various optimizations. > * Enum value can be accessed directly, instead of calling getNumber() on > the > enum member. > * For each enum value, an integer constant is also generated with the > suffix > _VALUE. > > Python > * Added an experimental C++ implementation for Python messages via a > Python > extension. Implementation type is controlled by an environment variable > PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION (valid values: "cpp" and > "python") > The default value is currently "python" but will be changed to "cpp" in > future release. > * Improved performance on message instantiation significantly. > Most of the work on message instantiation is done just once per message > class, instead of once per message instance. > * Improved performance on text message parsing. > * Allow add() to forward keyword arguments to the concrete class. > E.g. instead of > item = repeated_field.add() > item.foo = bar > item.baz = quux > You can do: > repeated_field.add(foo=bar, baz=quux) > * Added a sort() interface to the BaseContainer. > * Added an extend() method to repeated composite fields. > * Added UTF8 debug string support. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Protocol Buffers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/protobuf?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
