1.11.14

ASL version 1.11.14

Some small fixes and changes.

• CmdArgs default constructor now works on MacOS too (get command line arguments anywhere).
• Better linking to mbedTLS with newer versions (3.6.4+)
• Added Directory::freeSpace() to get free and total space in a file system.
• Directory::files(wildcard) now supports multiple wildcards (e.g. "*.jpg|*.png")
• That function applied to an actual file will return that file (Directory("/a.txt").files() -> {"/a.txt"})
• Added Vec*::abs()

More deprecated functions: list here. Most will be removed in next releases.

1.11.13

ASL version 1.11.13

Some small fixes and changes.

• Fixed StreamBuffer, SHA1 and other stuff on Big Endian machines (e.g. PowerPC). Endianness autodetected.
• Fixed possible use after free in SocketServer and derived classes.
• Fixed memory issues with shared arrays and atomic count in old compilers
• Fixed Matrix3 multiplication for projective transforms and added operator-(Matrix3)
• LocalSocket on recent Windows 10+ can now be used without explicit option
• HttpServer when serving files will only set Content-Type from file extension if it is not explicitly set.
• Added File::CREATE to File open mode for exclusive mode (has to be used together with File::WRITE)

TextFile file("data.txt", File::WRITE | File::CREATE); // Fail if the file already exists

More deprecated functions: list here. Most will be removed in next releases.

1.11.12

ASL version 1.11.12

Some small fixes.

• Fixed SerialPort occasional hangs in .read() on Windows
• Fixed Date writing and parsing dates with milliseconds
• Fixed compilation on systems having an isnumber() macro (e.g. BSD)
• Fixed some Testing macros not working without using namespace asl
• Fixed Random generating some repeated values right after .seed(n)

• Avoid warnings with newer CMake

Deprecated functions: list here.

1.11.11

ASL version 1.11.11

Fixes and little improvements.

• Fixed socket.read() and write() which could miss data in some situations
• Fixed LocalSocket (Unix sockets) and support them in recent Windows 10+
• Fixed HttpServer handling HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, Expect header, byte ranges and missing served files
• Fixed performance issues in Array.resize() and Var.resize()
• Extended MulticastSocket for IPv6 (WIP, not tested)
• Some old code cleanup, simplifications and tidy, and improved documentation

Deprecated functions: list here.

LocalSocket on Windows require the cmake option ASL_SOCKET_LOCAL, currently.

Updated asl.natvis visualizer for Visual Studio (attached to this release)

1.11.10

ASL version 1.11.10

Fixes and little improvements.

• Fixed compilation with Emscripten SDK
• Fixed StreamBuffer write 64 bit values in little-endian
• Fixed Quaternion functions slerp(), angle() when arguments are equal
• Fixed XML parsing when processing instructions contain '>' characters
• Fixed Library adding default extension if none given
• Printf-like functions will now emit warnings on types vs format mismatch (*)
• Process::execute() now searches the PATH in Linux, too
• Support reading JSON and CSV with BOM
• Matrix4::inverse() now computes the general 4x4 inverse (it used to support only affine transforms)
• Json::write() now writes large files in chunks, using less memory
• Added .data() method in Array, Array2, MatrixN, etc.
• HttpServer subclasses can now send data in chunks
• Added String.to<T>() and Xml.value<T>()
• Several other improvements

(*) Functions String::f(), TextFile::printf() and ASL_LOG_* will emit warnings if argument types don't match the format string. On MSVC this currently requires the /analyze compiler setting, and gcc/clang require the -Wformat warning (often enabled by default).

Deprecated functions: list here.

1.11.9

ASL version 1.11.9

Fixes and little improvements.

• Fixed Array2<T> constructor from pointer to data and sizes
• Fixed IniFile::values() for some old gcc
• Moved encodeUrl() and decodeUrl() to struct Url as static functions and improved them
• Now Url::encode(str) works like JS encodeURI(), and Url::encode(str, true) works like JS encodeURIComponent()
• Fixed HttpServer to serve files with non-ASCII names (request paths are URL-decoded first)
• Fixed Json::decode() to support escaped Unicode non-BMP chars (e.g. emojis, like "\ud83d\ude00")
• Fixed String::count() for non-BMP characters
• Added String::wlength() to count UTF16 code units (length of wchar_t* string)
• Added Stringconstructors from Unicode code points (single code or array)
• Added Xml:value<T>()
• Windows Console now sets the system code page in ASL_ANSI mode by default, and added .setCP() to change it
• Improvements in ASL_ANSI mode (Url::decode() and Json::decode will translate escaped chars to local charset, if possible)
• Added Matrix<T>::op=(init_list) that copies new data without allocating and freeing
• Added operator Matrix3 ^ Vec2 for projective transformation (same in Matrix4 ^ Vec3)

1.11.8

ASL version 1.11.8

Fixes and little improvements.

• Fixed TabularDataFile CSV parsing quoted values with embedded quotes or commas
• Fixed IniFile parsing duplicate section names (kept only the last)
• Fixed Date parsing and writing (now basic ISO8601, before only extended and "HTTP"-style, and it could crash with malformed strings).
• Fixed ASL_DEPRECATED() macro on gcc (to mark functions as deprecated and trigger warnings on use).
• Improved solve(A, b) so that it solves least-squares if A is not square (more equations than unknowns), like A.pseudoinverse()*b but more efficient.
• Improved solveZero() with optional parameters, earlier iteration stop, and an overload to solve a single variable equation.

1.11.7

ASL version 1.11.7

Some fixes and little improvements.

• Fixed HashMap when keys are pointers.
• Fixed Shared<T> up-cast.
• Added Var::remove(key), Var::removeAt(index), etc.
• Extended Socket and PacketSocket with functions using ByteArray
• Documentation improvements

1.11.6

ASL version 1.11.6

Some fixes, cleaning and deprecations.

• Fixed CmdArgs wrongly reading non-ASCII arguments on non-Windows systems.
• Improved performance in String::replace()
• Documentation improvements
• Now CMake find_package can specify a minimum version (but will work only from this version up):

find_package(ASL 1.11.6)

Deprecated stuff

Several functions and classes are marked deprecated (See list here). Many will be removed in a next minor version. These are marked deprecated in the online documentation and in code, so that using them will print a compiler warning.

1.11.5

ASL version 1.11.5

Little fixes and improvements.

• Avoid several warnings by newer compilers and static analyzers
• Xml parsing will no longer accept invalid chars in tags/attribs (e.g. cannot start with number)
• Removed implicit String conversion to char* (non const)
• TabularDataFile write undefined items empty
• Added Url::params(dic) to create URL query string from a Dic<>
• Fixed Matrix4 constructors from Vec3 or Vec4 that were ignoring the template element type (forcing float)
• Other code simplifications

Next version will remove some deprecated functions and will not bring asl::byte to the global scope by default.
