				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  protoc
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * New flags --encode and --decode can be used to convert between protobuf text
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    format and binary format from the command-line.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * New flag --descriptor_set_out can be used to write FileDescriptorProtos for
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    all parsed files directly into a single output file.  This is particularly
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    useful if you wish to parse .proto files from programs written in languages
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    other than C++: just run protoc as a background process and have it output
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    a FileDescriptorList, then parse that natively.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Improved error message when an enum value's name conflicts with another
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    symbol defined in the enum type's scope, e.g. if two enum types declared
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    in the same scope have values with the same name.  This is disallowed for
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    compatibility with C++, but this wasn't clear from the error.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed absolute output paths on Windows.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Allow trailing slashes in --proto_path mappings.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  C++
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Reflection objects are now per-class rather than per-instance.  To make this
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    possible, the Reflection interface had to be changed such that all methods
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    take the Message instance as a parameter.  This change improves performance
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    significantly in memory-bandwidth-limited use cases, since it makes the
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    message objects smaller.  Note that source-incompatible interface changes
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    like this will not be made again after the library leaves beta.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Heuristically detect sub-messages when printing unknown fields.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fix static initialization ordering bug that caused crashes at startup when
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    compiling on Mac with static linking.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed TokenizerTest when compiling with -DNDEBUG on Linux.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed incorrect definition of kint32min.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fix bytes type setter to work with byte sequences with embedded NULLs.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Other irrelevant tweaks.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  Java
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed UnknownFieldSet's parsing of varints larger than 32 bits.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of "inf" and "nan".
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of comments.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Added info to Java POM that will be required when we upload the
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    package to a Maven repo.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  Python
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * MergeFrom(message) and CopyFrom(message) are now implemented.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * SerializeToString() raises an exception if the message is missing required
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    fields.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Code organization improvements.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed doc comments for RpcController and RpcChannel, which had somehow been
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    swapped.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fixed text_format_test on Windows where floating-point exponents sometimes
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +    contain extra zeros.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Fix Python service CallMethod() implementation.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  Other
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  * Improved readmes.
