Stable releases - 2017.1 (rev 10804) (Jan 2017)

This is the first release of U++ that requires C++11 compatible compiler. The main focus was Core, adding many enhancements allowed by C++11 and improving parallel programming support. We, also didn't forget about Android as we ported Core library on that platform.

Ubuntu, Gentoo and Arch Linux

If you use Ubuntu based GNU/Linux distributions, Gentoo or Arch Linux, you can download stable packages and nightly builds on U++ download page.

You can learn how to build the standard source code package on your platform (POSIX, Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows and more) reading the U++ online documentation.

Changelog

Core

• Original U++ Callbacks are deprecated and replaced with Function with better lambda support. Begin/End methods are now renamed / deprecated in favor of (standard) begin/end.

• U++ algorithms now primarily work on ranges, besides container SubRange, ConstRange and ViewRange are now provided.

• Initial round of optimizations for ARM architecture.

• U++ allocator optimized once again, locking is reduced in inter-thread deallocations, allocator now returns blocks always 16 bytes aligned (simplifies SSE2 code).

• General cleanup of U++ algorithms, redundant algorithms removed, new Count and CountIf algorithms

• Improvements in Core/RPC

• CoWork::FinLock now provides 'free of charge' mutex at the end of worker jobs.

• CoWorkerResources class now provides 'per worker thread' context.

• CoPartition algorithm useful for partitioning array for parallel programming.

• Where it makes sense, U++ algorithms now have parallel variant.

• String further optimized, new TrimLast, TrimStart, TrimEnd, FindAfter, ReverseFindAfter

• FastCompress (currently using LZ4) for internal program compression.

• Core can be compiled on Android and major of features are currently ported.

• xxHash - fast non-cryptographic hash - now part of Core.

• SHA256 code now part of the Core.

• plugin/pcre updated to the latest pcre version.

• plugin/zstd now provides zstd compression (with multithreaded option).

• plugin/lz4 now can multithreaded.

GUI programming & graphics

• PdfDraw and RichText now support PDF signatures.

• RichText now can change header/footer within document.

• ArrayCtrl got SetLineColor and GetCellRect methods.

TheIDE

• Comments now can be spell checked and there is comment word wrap and reformatting operation.

• New functions / icons that search the web (launch the browser) for text selected or current identifier.

• Optimal compilation mode is removed as confusing, it is now always either debug or release mode, release mode being configured for speed.

• When comparing files, differences within single lines are now shown.

• Most U++ designers now support drag&drop to reorganize lists.

• Find File window was remastered.

• New dialog for creating package file.

• Android application can be directly launch on emulator from TheIDE.

• Clang is now default compiler for native Android applications.

• C++14 is now default standard for all Android builds.

• Various android builder improvements.

ESC

• New math functions like sin, cos, tg, pow etc.

• New replace in string function.

General

• Significantly improved the process of building TheIDE and UMK from tarball (POSIX environment). Compilation on multiple cores is possible with "-j" option.

• Documentation improvements.

• Bug fixes in various areas.
