Dec v0.5.1

Notes

• Despite the length of this changelog, this is mostly minor bugfixes and documentation. The "big feature" is an Extra package that I do not recommend using in production until it has a lot more work.

Added

• Converters now support generic arguments; they must be converting a generic with the same number of arguments in the same order. This might get changed later.
• Recorder.Clone() function to duplicate objects.
• Added the first extra package, recorder_enumerator, capable of serializing and deserializing both Linq and user-defined enumerators mid-iteration.
• Added support for Stack and Queue.

Breaking

• Type parsing system no longer supports + separator for nested types, but it never wrote these in the first place, so this shouldn't be a big problem. If you have to edit some xml files, sorry 'bout that, this was an oversight.

Improved

• Improved error message when trying to initialize a composite with a string.
• First-time Parser startup speed now faster.
• Type parsing system now properly supports generic nested types of generics.
• User-types now don't include anything under the Dec namespace.

Fixed

• Type caching system no longer results in silent errors.
• Missing Mode property on Recorder.Parameters.
• bool not recognized as a primitive type.

Testing

• Made test harness more durable regarding errors happening during parsing.
• Fixed a test that was accidentally testing the wrong thing.
• Detect internal errors and report them as true test failures, even if a failure was expected.
• Added an integration-unified test for the case where people are just copypasting source files into their project.
• Improved testing of locale issues.
• Reduced compiler warnings in test suite.
