[orbitcpp-list] Gearing up for release 0.30

[Phil D. <ph...@us...>]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

The Union support is now complete, and I'd like to do a new orbitcpp
release asap (release early, release often - all that kind of
thing). 

So the question is: do we include full Typecode and Any support in
0.30, or delay until 0.31?

As far as I can see, the following needs doing before we can say we
support Typecode and Any:

1) A test for John's Any stuff needs including in test/everything

2) Sam's typecode stuff needs integrating with the current build, so
that the Any support can use CORBA::Typecode rather than
CORBA_typecode.

3) Need to write compiler 'deep copy' code for any and typecode so
that they work in arrays and unions correctly.

4) Need a test for typecode and the above deep copy stuff.


John, have you got time to do (1)? - You've probably got more
experience with Any than any-one else here.

Sam, I'll have a few hours free later on this week to do the Typecode
merge if you'd like. Is the patch you sent to the list a couple of
weeks ago up to date?

Ideally I'd like to get 0.30 out in the next couple of weeks, and
maybe do a freshmeat announce etc...

Cheers,

Phil
