[xsd-users] xsd 1.4.0 released

[Boris Kolpackov]

Good day,


We've released xsd 1.4.0. The NEWS file entries for this version
are as follows:

  * Number of improvements and bug fixes in the diagnostics code.

  * libxsd has been reorganized to provide a clean split of code with
    regards to char/wchar_t use. It should be possible to use libxsd
    and the xsd-generated code on platforms that lack wchar_t support,
    such as mingw.

  cxx-tree

    * Work around for g++ bug# 23206.

    * Support for xsd:list.

    * Type/member name conflicts are auto-resolved. Such conflicts
      occur when a type and an element or attribute withing this type
      share the same name.

    * XML Schema extension, the 'refType' attribute, allows one to
      specify referenced type for xsd:IDREF and xsd:IDREFS data types.
      See examples/cxx/tree/library for details.

    * New option, --morph-anonymous, allows automatic morphing
      of anonymous types to named ones. See the man pages for
      details.

    * New option, --namespace-regex-trace, allows one to trace the
      namespace mapping process. See the man pages for details.

    * Mapping for optional elements/attributes (cardinality 0..1)
      has changed in a backwards-incompatible way. In the previous
      version you would write:

      Bar& bar = ...

      if (bar.foo.present ())  // test
      {
        Foo& foo (bar.foo ()); // get

        bar.foo (Foo (...));   // set

        bar.foo.reset ();      // reset
      }

      Now you would write it like this:

      if (bar.foo ().present ())      // test
      {
        Foo& foo (bar.foo ().get ()); // get

        bar.foo (Foo (...));          // set

        bar.foo ().reset ();          // reset
      }

      Or using the pointer notation:

      if (bar.foo ())           // test
      {
        Foo& foo (*bar.foo ()); // get

        bar.foo (Foo (...));    // set

        bar.foo ().reset ();    // reset
      }

  cxx-parser

    * Support for xsd:list.

    * Type/member name conflicts are auto-resolved. Such conflicts
      occur when a type and an element or attribute withing this type
      share the same name.

    * New option, --namespace-regex-trace, allows one to trace the
      namespace mapping process. See the man pages for details.
