[Pantheios-announce] [Pantheios Tips 'n' Tricks] Pantheios 1.0.1 beta 208 released

[Matt W. <st...@gm...>]

Pantheios 1.0.1 beta 208 is released. It contains:


- addition of new API function, pantheios_be_file_flush(), to be.file.
- fix of defect in be.file, whereby interpretation of date/time format
specifiers in its file path - a feature added in 1.0.1 beta 197 -
failed to add 1900 to year and 1 to month in be.file's
- changes in names of status codes, removing word ERROR, and replacing
with FAILURE.
- removal of all remaining vestigial uses of magic numbers -
principally -1 and -2 - from exception-catch clauses in core and
several back-ends, and replacement with suitable status codes (e.g.
PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE).
- non-functional enhancements to be.N, in preparation for new
functionality in a forthcoming release
- added a new FAQ item (#19), which explains how to use get Pantheios
to compile the libraries when using Microsoft Visual C++'s -Zc:wchar_t-
flag.
- removed -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE from all Visual C++ (8+)
makefiles, since all Pantheios (and supporting STLSoft) files are now
compatible with Microsoft's "safe string" library.
- added a new example, example.cpp.util.strdup, illustrating use of
utility functions pantheios::util::strdup_throw() and
pantheios::util::strdup_nothrow().
- removed all include/pantheios/extras/* files, which will (re-)appear
in separate package distributions henceforth.
