0.3.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Added custom memory allocator resulting in about 15% speedup and about 45%
decrease of memory usage.
- Added benchmarking code and multiple scripts related to benchmarking.
This is mainly usable for debugging/development and isn't very well
documented. These scripts require python and valgrind to work.
- Added asserts to the code to check for obvious errors in code.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed a few small bugs.
0.4.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Implemented sorting of INISection and INIFile data along with binary search
resulting in about 20% speedup on average, and much faster reading of large
files.
- Bools are now parsed as true if a value starts by t,T,y,Y or 1 and false if
it starts by f,F,n,N or 0.
In the past, bools were parsed as true if value was "true", "yes" or "1" and
false if it is "false", "no" or "0".
- Added INISection and INIFile methods taking STL strings and vectors as
arguments. STL support can be disabled by "make no-stl" combined with
a definition of macro INI_NO_STL before including MiniINI header.
- Added support for loading INIFiles from user provided buffer instead from
file directly. This allows the user to load files e.g. from archives.
- Logging is now disabled by default. User must provide a callback using
INILogCallback to enable logging (logging still works only in debug build)
- Empty ini sections or files are not ignored anymore, although they issue a
warning if found. (if logging callback is provided)
- Improved benchmark and regression tester and updated them according to new
functionality.
- Improved benchmarking scripts: it is now possible to provide an inifile
defining benchmarks and inputs to use, merge data from these benchmarks
and compare such merged data from multiple runs.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed the logging macro bug that made compilation impossible.
- Fixed various bugs in API documentation.
- Fixed a bug in example where <iostream> was not included even though it was
needed.
- Fixed a few small bugs.
0.5.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Refactored ini file reading.
- Refactored array reading.
- INIFile::LoadBuffer() no longer alters contents of passed buffer.
- Optimized some code, resulting in about 15% speedup on average, 25% speedup
for array reading.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed a bug in testgen.py that caused problems with array reading benchmarks.
- Fixed a few small bugs.
0.6.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- The name=value separator is now configurable (stays '=' by default) using
the INISetSeparator() function. This also resulted in about 2% slowdown.
- All tags before the first header are now loaded to the "[DEFAULT]" section
(actual section name includes the '[' and ']' to make sure that it won't
conflict with any sections in any ini file.
- Array reallocation was refactored, resulting in cleaner code and negligible
slowdown.
- Added a test for reading very long tags to tester.
- INISetComment() and INISetSeparator() now both refuse characters already used
in INI files (such as '[') and return success/failure bool.
- Makefile now uses $DESTDIR to specify where to install.
- Ascii docs are now generated as xhtml instead of html4.
- Style of API docs was modified.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed the bug in INIFile::LoadBuffer() that would delete the passed buffer.
- Many minor bugfixes.
0.7.0:
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Tags with multiple values now supported, can be read with the new
ReadMultiXXX family of INISection methods. ',' is parsed as a separator
between multiple values. If ReadXXX methods are called on a multi-value tag,
the first value is read.
- Added an array lookup operator to INISection for fast access to string
values.
- Wrote a set of tutorials describing all features of MiniINI.
- Removed the STL version of INISection::ArraySize since it was redunant.
- Better warnings
- Various improvements in the API documentation
- Modified internal format of ini tag storage to allow for multi value tags.
- Refactored parsing of arrays of data.
- Regression tester program now returns -1 if any test fails.
- Moved to txt2tags instead of asciidoc for tutorials and README.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed an allocator bug that caused a segfault when allocating a new block.
- Many minor bugfixes.
0.7.1
- BUGFIXES:
- Removed the broken INISection operator [].
0.7.2
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- To use MiniINI without STL support, macro MINIINI_NO_STL now must be used
instead of INI_NO_STL. Modified tutorial accordingly.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed a memory leak in INISection::ArraySize()
- Fixed conflicts with windows.h and renamed most macros.
- Fixed a bug in documentation.
0.8.0
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Added support for iteration over INISections in an INIFile and tags in an
INISection. Also added a tutorial on iteration.
- Replaced strtof with a custom ParseFloat function. This leads to about 34%
speedup when reading floats. However, this also removes support scientific
notation. Also, only the '.' character can be used as decimal separator now,
it doesn't depend on locale anymore.
- Replaced strtol with a custom ParseInt function. This leads to about 7%
speedup when reading integers and about 23% speedup when reading arrays.
However, this also removes support for hexadecimal and octal integers. Only
decimal integers are supported now. There is also no support for thousand
separator characters (although, since they're ignored, spaces can be used for
that).
- Integer overflows (reading too large or too small integers from INI) are not
treated as errors anymore, a warning is emitted now and the closest possible
integer is read (i.e. minimum or maximum integer depending on the overflowing
number).
- Added an article on MiniINI data storage to documentation.
- Moved static INISection methods to a new file, inisectionutil.h .
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed a bug in test file generation for multi value tag benchmarks.
- Fixed a bug in the benchmark app that caused a segfault when called with no
command line arguments.
- Fixed a bug where MiniINI would emit a warning when the default section was
empty (i.e. when there were no tags before the first section in an INI file).
0.9.0
- FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Added INISection::GetNameSTL, a C++ string equivalent of INISection::GetName.
- Added a custom assert macro that emits a MiniINI error with a message.
- Rewrote tutorials to make them more readable and informative. Added links
to API docs to the tutorials.
- Rewrote the API documentation to make it more readable.
- Regression testing code was completely rewritten with a more maintainable
system.
- Removed most of benchmarking functionality from library code and moved it to
the benchmark program which was completely rewritten. Removed the (now
redunant) iteration benchmark.
- Added extra benchmarking functionality, which can be enabled on compile time
by defining macro MINIINI_BENCH_EXTRA. This allows high precision measurement
of run time, time spent on file I/O, allocation and file processing. This
functionality is Linux-only, but not required for MiniINI to work. The
benchmark program can use this functionality with the --extra option.
- Added specific benchmark cases for very small INI files that fit to the L1
cache and one case with an extremely large INI file.
- All testing and benchmarking scripts were rewritten in Python 3.1 .
- Rewrote testutil.py from scratch for more detailed statistics. Also, it's
not dependent on MiniINI anymore - it can be used to measure other programs.
The --no-summary option was removed, and the default number of runs to
measure run time was doubled to minimize errors.
- Rewrote testgen.py to buffer contents of generated file and write them out in
one call - this improves speed.
- Removed testutil-merge.py, testutil-merge-compare.py and added new scripts
testutil-compare.py and testutil-compare-merge.py that allow comparison of
more than two benchmarks.
- Rewrote test.py from scratch, adding support for MINIINI_BENCH_EXTRA and
comparing more than two benchmark runs at once. Interface of test.py was
also rewritten. Tests to run (like callgrind, memcheck etc.) are now set
through the command line instead of benchmark case INI files.
- Added version-compare.py, a script that can compare multiple MiniINI
packages. Mostly useful for version benchmarks.
- Added commit.py, a commit script that looks for errors and prevents a commit
if any errors are found. It also writes out code statistics of commits to a
new file, code-stats.txt .
- Moved static INIFile methods to a new file, inifileutil.h .
- Allocator code was refactored.
- Refactored logging, warning and error functionality.
- BUGFIXES:
- Fixed a bug that disabled empty file warning completely.
- Minor bugfixes.
