Fields in the same oneof will share + memory and at most one field can be set at the same time. Use the + oneof keyword to define a oneof like: + message SampleMessage { + oneof test_oneof { + string name = 4; + YourMessage sub_message = 9; + } + } + * Files, services, enums, messages, methods and enum values can be marked + as deprecated now. + * Added Support for list values, including lists of mesaages, when + parsing text-formatted protos in C++ and Java. + For example: foo: [1, 2, 3] + + C++ + * Enhanced customization on TestFormat printing. + * Added SwapFields() in reflection API to swap a subset of fields. + Added SetAllocatedMessage() in reflection API. + * Repeated primitive extensions are now packable. The + [packed=true] option only affects serializers. Therefore, it is + possible to switch a repeated extension field to packed format + without breaking backwards-compatibility. + * Various speed optimizations. + + Java + * writeTo() method in ByteString can now write a substring to an + output stream. Added endWith() method for ByteString. + * ByteString and ByteBuffer are now supported in CodedInputStream + and CodedOutputStream. + * java_generate_equals_and_hash can now be used with the LITE_RUNTIME. + + Python + * A new C++-backed extension module (aka "cpp api v2") that replaces the + old ("cpp api v1") one. Much faster than the pure Python code. This one + resolves many bugs and is recommended for general use over the + pure Python when possible. + * Descriptors now have enum_types_by_name and extension_types_by_name dict + attributes. + * Support for Python 3. + 2013-02-27 version 2.5.0: General -- cgit v1.2.3
