XBinder Change Log

This is a new major release that adds the following new capabilities:

Alpha-level support for EXI schema-informed encoding was added. This is targeted mainly at the use of EXI as used in the ISO 15118 Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) standards.
Validation of XML files against XML schema files in the editor.
Addition of auto-indent to XSD schema editing in the editor.
Notification of changed files outside the editor. The user is provided with the option to load the changed file or keep what they currently have.
Generation of portable makefiles using relative file paths are now generated which allow makefiles to be ported between different OS's including Windows and Linux with no changes required.
The default behavior of -use-qt was changed from generating QLinkedList to generating QList in order to make XBinder compatible with Qt 6. Also, generated makefiles will now refer to Qt6Core.lib instead of Qt5Core.lib.

The following defects have been fixed in this release:

General stability changes were made in the editor which included fixing a number of crashes.
Fixed an issue where an extra console window would appear when xbeditor.exe was double clicked in Windows installations (XB-87).

Removed the use of os_snprintf from generated C print functions.
Fixed gcc warning: implicitly-declared operator=(const &) is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-copy]
Fixed a bug in the C/C++ runtime that caused decoders to enter an infinite loop when a CDATA section contained the sequence \r\r\n. (XB-64)

This is a new major release that adds the following new capabilities:

The version of Microsoft Visual Studio used to build the compiler and default run-time libraries was upgraded from VS 2015 to VS 2017.
GNU gcc libraries from version 4 through 10 are now available in the development package. Versions 4 though 6 were available in previous packages.
Qt version 5.14.1 is now used to build the GUI. Previously, version 5.9.x was used, which is now EOL.
The version of Xerces used to do XML schema valiation in the GUI has been upgraded to v3.2.3.
Full XBinder SDK packages are now available for Linux ARM 32-bit and 64-bit, and Apple Mac M1.

The following defects have been fixed in this release:

Fixed Linux packages to include support for the -usestl option and std:string (XB-21).
Added GCC 10 libraries to Linux package (XB-21).
Fixed the use of -usestl for string lists (XB-19). Prior to this, the generated code would not compile.

Fixed a defect in the C/C++ XML Pull parser where certain input could trigger an infinite loop during decoding of an XML document. The triggering input was the series CRCRLF (\r\r\n) (XBI-2309).
Fixed C++ code generation for the case where a complex type extends another type by using a group reference. This fixes issues with generation of the type, the encoder, decoder, constructors, and print functions. Also fixed duplicate invocation of the base class copy assignment operator for complex type extension (XBI-2283).
Fix a bug in which an element was not recognized as being the head of a substitution group. This could manifest in numerous ways (XBI-2284).
Fixed generation of makefile to inlude -project when that option
Fixed a defect in test code generation where an attempt was made to assign to the address of a field rather than assigning to the field.

Added debug C++ MD libraries to Windows kits (XBI-2270).
Removed XBinder binary location setting. This proved to be problematic when a new version of XBinder was installed because the setting could cause an old version of the executable to be used. The XBinder executable is now expected to reside in the same directory as the XBEditor GUI which should be the bin directory of the installation (XBI-2263).
Added support for Visual Studio 2019, including run-time libraries and project file generation.
