CathodeLib 0.4.0

Full Changelog: v0.3.3...v0.4.0

This is a large update with many breaking changes. Please refer to the README for more info.

Lots of in-progress parsers have been added, along with improvements to existing ones.

Notable speed improvements to Commands parsing.

CathodeLib 0.3.3

• Performance improvements when saving Commands files
• Figured out some unknown numbers on Composite objects
• Fixed an issue when creating CAGEAnimation or TriggerSequence entities
• Renamed shortGUID on Parameter and VariableEntity to name
• Added AddParameter method to Entity which will auto-create ParameterData
• Renamed EntityVariant.DATATYPE to EntityVariant.VARIABLE
• Remamed resourceID on cResource to shortGUID
• EntityUtils and ShortGuidUtils now both support saving custom strings to Commands files via the new CustomTable extension
• Added an alternate Save function to all CathodeFile derivatives which allows the option to change filepath

CathodeLib 0.3.2

Found and fixed a rogue issue which would cause the game to crash when creating new composites.

CathodeLib 0.3.1

Minor fixes from the 0.3.0 release, and some improvements for scripting Commands composites in C#.

CathodeLib 0.3.0

A general tidyup of the library, improving namespacing and making everything easier to use.

Large improvements to the Command parser, now featuring easy-to-use functions for scripting via C#.

CathodeLib 0.2.0

Far too many changes to document in this pre-1.0 release, but the highlights are:

• Vast improvements to handling of CommandsPAK files, as seen in the new script editor in OpenCAGE
  • Far too many changes to list here, basically just far more efficient and getting towards feature completion
• Improvements to namespacing
• Work-in-progress parsers located in the LEGACY namespace (more info soon!)
• AlienBML now included as submodule
• A variety of new parsers for previously unsupported formats (see MiscFormats directory)
