In the new encoding, the entire list is written + as a single byte blob using the "length-delimited" wire type. Within + this blob, the individual values are encoded the same way they would + be normally except without a tag before each value (thus, they are + tightly "packed"). + + C++ + * UnknownFieldSet now supports STL-like iteration. + * Message interface has method ParseFromBoundedZeroCopyStream() which parses + a limited number of bytes from an input stream rather than parsing until + EOF. + + Java + * Fixed bug where Message.mergeFrom(Message) failed to merge extensions. + * Message interface has new method toBuilder() which is equivalent to + newBuilderForType().mergeFrom(this). + * All enums now implement the ProtocolMessageEnum interface. + * Setting a field to null now throws NullPointerException. + * Fixed tendency for TextFormat's parsing to overflow the stack when + parsing large string values. The underlying problem is with Java's + regex implementation (which unfortunately uses recursive backtracking + rather than building an NFA). Worked around by making use of possesive + quantifiers. Python * Added slicing support for repeated scalar fields. Added slice retrieval and removal of repeated composite fields. + * Updated RPC interfaces to allow for blocking operation. A client may + now pass None for a callback when making an RPC, in which case the + call will block until the response is received, and the response + object will be returned directly to the caller. This interface change + cannot be used in practice until RPC implementations are updated to + implement it. 2008-11-25 version 2.0.3: |
