It +allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any +callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of +whether it is static or virtual. + +libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not depend +on GTK or gtkmm. + +libsigc++ 2.0 uses modern C++ mechanisms to achieve a highly flexible, +yet typesafe callback system. It supports all features of libsigc++ 1.2 +and improves upon it with a simpler and more powerful API. + +This version of libsigc++ needs GNU g++ 3.2 or higher to compile. + + +*** ChangeLog summary: + +2.0.6: + +* Fixed a memory leak in sigc::slot. +* Fixed compilation for gcc-3.4. +* Fixed compilation for Intel C++ compiler (upgraded libtool). +* Fixed project files for MSVC .Net (Timothy M. Shead). +* Fixed segfaults when compiled with MSVC .Net 2003 (moved + all calls to new and delete into non-inline library code). +* In the compatibility module use correct bound_mem_functor + variants for const (volatile) methods when creating a slot. +* Minor documentation fix. +* Resolved bugs: #152327 #148744 #152323 #151404 #153143 + +2.0.5: + +* Distribute pregenerated configuration header for MSVC .Net. + +2.0.4: + +* Fixed warnings and compiler errors in the test cases. +* Added a new test case (Murray Cumming). +* Fixed 'hello_world' example. +* Don't test optional features that fail with the Sun FORTE. +* Fixes for the Sun FORTE to compile out-of-the-box + (Damien Carbery, Murray Cumming, Martin Schulze). +* Fixes for MSVC to build a DLL out-of-the-box (James Lin). +* Improved compiler specific configuration during 'configure'. +* Added rmp description file libsigc++-2.0.spec (Eric Bourque). +* Minor documentation improvements (Murray Cumming). +* Resolved bugs: #147311 #147313 #147391 #144846 #145541 + +2.0.3: + +* Fix segfault on emission of unconnected signal. +* Test emission of unconnected signals in the test case. +* Suppress compiler warning at dynamic_cast<>-test for good. + (Help from Christof Petig and Timothy M. Shead.) + +2.0.2: + +* Suppress compiler warning in compatibility module at + dynamic_cast<>-test (fix suggested by Timothy M. Shead). +* If a custom accumulator is specified invoke it on signal + emission even if the signal's slot list is empty. (This used + to be the case in libsigc++-1.2 as pointed out by Timothy.) + +2.0.1: + +* Fixed serious bug in reference counting in sigc::signal_base::impl(). +* Fixed SigC::Object-derivation check in SigC::slot() compatibility module. +* Fixed compilation on Apple gcc 3.3 (assisted by Spundun Bhatt). +* Fixed configure check for gcc 3.4 (Murray Cumming). + +2.0.0: + +* Implemented sigc::connection::blocked() (Murray Cumming). +* Added the scripts directory to the make dist target (Murray Cumming). +* Added more documentation (Martin Schulze). + +1.9.16: + +* Fixed compiler warning in sigc::connection (Alexander Nedotsukov, Murray Cumming). +* Fixed examples and made them part of the regular build (Murray Cumming). +* Added header sigc++config.h for configure time checks (Murray Cumming). +* Added configure time checks to determine the correct syntax + for explicit template method specializations (Murray Cumming). +* Removed code using partial specializations of overloaded template methods + from test cases. SUN Forte doesn't support this feature (Martin Schulze). +* Fixed compilation for gcc 3.4 (Murray Cumming). + +1.9.15: + +API additions: +* Add numbered slot# templates. +* Allow for methods of the object's base types to be passed into sigc::mem_fun(). + +Other fixes and cleanups: +* Make is_base_and_derived template compatible with the SUN Forte. +* Non-template code moved from .m4 macro source to .h/.cc files (Murray Cumming). +* Implementation moved to .cc files (Murray Cumming). +* More fixes for the SUN Forte. Make some more ctors explicit. + +1.9.14: + +* Added sigc::slot_base::operator bool() (Murray Cumming). +* Build docs directory by default (Murray Cumming). +* Fixed minor doxygen issues (Murray Cumming). +* Fixed compiler warning in signal.h (Murray Cumming). + +1.9.13: + +* Fixed passing references through sigc::slot (Reported by Jeff Franks). +* Enabled binding of objects to method slots through sigc::bind(). +* Reworked sigc::bind() API: Made the template argument for the + parameter position zero-based and optional. Added overloads for + binding of up to 7 arguments at a time when no position is specified. +* Reworked sigc::hide() API: Made the template argument for the + parameter position zero-based and optional. +* Fixed compilation problems with MSVC .Net 2003 (Roel Vanhout). +* Distribute MSVC .Net 2003 project files in the tarballs. +* Improved and extended documentation. +* Minor cleanups. + +1.9.12: + +* Added adaptor retype(). With this final API addition all adaptors + are in place that are available in libsigc++-1.2. +* Added negation lambda operator. Use STL names for lambda actions. +* Remove formerly disabled support for gcc extension typeof(). +* Added project files for MS Visual Studio .Net 2003. (Roel Vanhout) +* Make libsigc++2 compile with .Net 2003. (Roel Vanhout, Martin Schulze) +* Build shared version of libsigc++2 by default. (Cedric Gustin) +* Add support for win32 platform. (Cedric Gustin) +* Install .m4 files. (requested by Ron Steinke) +* Cleaned up functors. +* Restructured and completed documentation of the core library parts. + +1.9.11: + +API Additions and important bug fixes: +* Compatibility module completed. libsigc++-1.2 filenames are preserved. +* Fixed critical bug in auto-disconnection: don't defer detaching + of a slot from all referred trackables during signal emission. +* Reduced size of slots significantly. +* Fixed support for sigc::ref() in adaptors. +* Fixed sigc::visit_each(): only hit targets that are passed by + reference; pass bound members in bound_member_functor by reference. +* Add lambda actions sigc::{reinterpret,static,dynamic}_cast_ + to support explicit parameter conversion. +* Add adaptors sigc::retype_return<>() and sigc::hide_return(). + +Minor fixes: +* Fixed return type deduction for bind<0>. + libsigc++-1.9.11 should compile with gcc-3.3. +* Fixed copy constructor and operator=() of slot template. +* Fixed a compiler warning in signal_emit#<>::emit(). +* Improved test case. + +1.9.10: + +* Fix compiler issues with gcc-3.3.2 (patch from Jeff Franks). +* Remove compiler check for the gcc extension typeof(). +* Simplify bind_functor templates. +* Move definition of struct nil into functor_trait.h. + +1.9.9: + +* Add a constructor to sigc::connection that takes a slot_base& + to support user defined slot lists like they are used in gtkmm. +* Fix compiler issues with gcc-3.3.2 (reported by Jeff Franks). + +1.9.8: + +* Add compatibility module that defines namespace SigC. + namespace SigC should be API compatible to libsigc++-1.2. + Currently only the core parts of the library are supported. + Adaptors are still to follow. +* Fix connection::operator=(). Include connection.h in sigc++.h. +* Get rid of namespace functor. +* Rename dependency to destroy_notify_callback. +* Rename trackable::clear() to trackable::notify_callbacks(). +* Move slot_base, signal_base, slot_iterator[_buf], slot_list + out of namespace internal. They are public API. +* Add reference counter to signal_impl enabling signals + to share the underlying information. +* Add convenience function signal#::make_slot(). +* Get rid of one-letter-parameter-names. +* Get rid of "using namespace ..." in the test cases. +* Add lambda operators subscript ([]) and assign (=). +* Fix is_base_and_derived<> for const types. +* New and updated documentation. +* Add previous announces to file NEWS. + +1.9.7: + +* Added sigc++/sigc++.h. (Murray Cumming) +* Added member_method example. (Murray Cumming) +* Renamed closure to slot. +* Fixed issues with gcc-3.3. (Adreas Rottmann) +* Removed unnecessary void specializations. +* Made adaptors' operator()() (overload with no arguments) return a value. +* Made visit_each() support adaptors. +* Overhauled return type deduction to make it work without typeof(). +* Added convinience macros SIGC_FUNCTORS_HAVE_RESULT_TYPE and +SIGC_FUNCTOR_TRAIT(T_functor, T_result) to make return type deduction system +support 3rd-party funtors. +* Changed syntax of group adaptor from "[functor] % grp([lambdas])" to "group +([functor], [lambdas])". +* Made many fixes to lambda functionality. +* Added var() and constant() lambda creators. +* Added many lambda operators. +* Added ref() which creates a reference wrapper to enable storage of +references in bind and group adaptors. +* Expanded test suite. +* Added documentation. (Corrections by Murray Cumming) + +1.9.6: + +* First public release of the unstable 2.0 generation. + libsigc++ 2.0 uses modern C++ mechanisms to achieve a highly + flexible, yet typesafe callback system. It supports all features of + libsigc++ 1.2 and improves upon it by: + - No need to specify the number of arguments in signal definitions. + - Connection of any compatible (=implicitly convertable) functor + to a signal. + - Implicit type conversions of parameters during signal emission. + - Lambda adaptor for complete restructuring of functor parameter + lists in one line (subject to changes). + - Signal has a fully featured stl style list interface. + - A convinient accumulator API (replacing the old marshaller API). + - Removal of unnecessary memory management functionality. + - Lightweight class "trackable" for use as base class of your + class hierarchy replaces class "Object". |
