Changes for 1.9.100 (12th August 2010)

Summary:

* added stlsoft/iterators/common/string_concatenation_flags.hpp
* string_concatenator_iterator now strictly skips separator insertion for empty elements if no flags are specified, and always inserts separator if string_concatenation_flags::AlwaysSeparate is specified
* added performance_counter_init::get_period_and_restart() method
* added STLSOFT_CC_CDECL_VALUE, STLSOFT_CC_FASTCALL_VALUE, STLSOFT_CC_STDCALL_VALUE
* special_string_instance now uses atomic_int_type
* string_tokeniser iterator dereference operator changed to disallow return of mutable instance
* string_view has improved comparison algorithm
* added 3-, 4-, and 5-parameter overloads of stlsoft::minimum() and stlsoft::maximum()
* various fixes and enhancements to platformstl::file_lines
* added size() and empty() methods to winstl::environment_variable
* implemented winstl::system_traits::str_n_compare_no_case()

Changes:

STLSoft:

~ stlsoft/algorithms/pod.hpp:
~ refactored, to remove inappropriate constraints

+ stlsoft/iterators/common/string_concatenation_flags.hpp:
+ added stlsoft/iterators/common/string_concatenation_flags.hpp

~ stlsoft/iterators/string_concatenator_iterator.hpp:
~ now strictly skips separator insertion for empty elements if no flags are specified, and always inserts separator if string_concatenation_flags::AlwaysSeparate is specified

~ stlsoft/performance/performance_counter_init.hpp:
+ added get_period_and_restart() method

~ stlsoft/stlsoft.h:
+ added STLSOFT_CC_CDECL_VALUE
+ added STLSOFT_CC_FASTCALL_VALUE
+ added STLSOFT_CC_STDCALL_VALUE

~ stlsoft/string/special_string_instance.hpp:
~ special_string_instance now uses atomic_int_type
~ minor change to avoid possible undefined-behaviour

~ stlsoft/string/string_tokeniser.hpp:
~ iterator dereference operator changed to disallow return of mutable instance

~ stlsoft/string/string_view.hpp:
~ improved comparison algorithm
~ performance improvement in equal(class_type const&) method

~ stlsoft/util/constraints.hpp:
~ compiler compatibility
~ compatibility
~ workaround for pedantic warnings

~ stlsoft/util/minmax.hpp:
+ 3-, 4-, and 5-parameter overloads

COMSTL:

~ comstl/util/rot_functions.h:
~ trivial commenting changes

PlatformSTL:

~ platformstl/filesystem/file_lines.hpp:
~ 64-bit compatibility
~ corrects the determination of whether to discard the mapping to work on the first non-empty string, since it will fault if the first line in a mapped file is empty but any others are not
+ conversion constructor is now explicit
+ added private declaration of constructor template to prevents the conversion constructor from being invoked on an instance of a different specialisation
~ allows wider range of string types to be used, in particular those that are copy-constructible but do not provide assign() methods

UNIXSTL:

~ unixstl/dl/module.hpp:
~ includes STLSoft's main shims header, to at least allow GCC to see std::string arguments without hassle
+ added typedefs to make compatible with get_module_handle() shim (not yet complete for UNIXSTL)
~ surrounding template methods with #ifdefs
~ throw() for unload() method(s)

~ unixstl/filesystem/filesystem_traits.hpp:
~ GCC (on Windows) compatibility
+ added missing member constant pathComparisonIsCaseSensitive to specialisations

~ unixstl/filesystem/path.hpp:
~ ensures push_ext() is wide-string compatible

WinSTL:

~ winstl/dl/module.hpp:
~ documentation markup

~ winstl/filesystem/absolute_path.hpp:
~ winstl/filesystem/current_directory.hpp:
~ winstl/system/module_directory.hpp:
~ winstl/system/module_filename.hpp:
~ special_string_instance now uses atomic_int_type

~ winstl/filesystem/filesystem_traits.hpp:
+ added missing member constant pathComparisonIsCaseSensitive to specialisations

~ winstl/filesystem/path.hpp:
~ ensures push_ext() is wide-string compatible

~ winstl/system/console_functions.h:
~ winstl__get_console_width() => winstl_C_get_console_width()
~ winstl__get_console_window() => winstl_C_get_console_window()
~ minor improvements to use of casts

~ winstl/system/environment_variable.hpp:
+ added size() method
+ added empty() method

~ winstl/system/searchpath_sequence.hpp:
~ 64-bit compatibility

~ winstl/system/system_directory.hpp:
+ added atomic_int_type

~ winstl/system/system_traits.hpp:
~ implementation(s) of str_n_compare_no_case()

~ winstl/system/windows_directory.hpp:
+ added atomic_int_type

~ winstl/winstl.h:
+ added ws_intptr_t
+ added ws_sintptr_t
+ added ws_uintptr_t
