[xsde-announcements] XSD/e 3.0.0 released

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

We have released XSD/e 3.0.0. This is a major release which introduces
the new Embedded C++/Hybrid mapping.

C++/Hybrid provides a light-weight, tree-like object model on top
of the C++/Parser and C++/Serializer mappings. It supports fully in-
memory as well as hybrid, partially even-driven, partially in-memory
XML processing. Other major features of this mapping include:

  * Precise reproduction of the XML vocabulary structure and element
    order.
  
  * Support for filtering of XML data during parsing and object model
    during serialization.
  
  * Customizable object model classes as well as parsing and 
    serialization code.

  * Small memory footprint, including heap and stack usage.

  * Highly-portable, can be used without STL, RTTI, iostream, C++
    exceptions, and with minimal use of C++ templates.
  
For more information refer to the Embedded C++/Hybrid Mapping page:

For a quick introduction to the mapping, refer to the Embedded
C++/Hybrid Mapping Getting Started Guide:

Other NEWS file entries for this release are as follows:

  * New option, --disable-warning, disables printing of a warning with
    the specified id. Specifying 'all' for the warning id disables all
    warnings.

  * The interfaces of the non-STL versions of the xml_schema::qname and
    xml_schema::string_sequence classes have changed. Now by default
    their modifier functions assume ownership of the passed strings.
    The *_copy() versions of the modifier functions that make copies
    of the passed strings are now provided. See the documentation for
    details.

  * The implementation of the STL version of the xml_schema::string_sequence
    class has changed. Now a custom implementation of the sequence
    container is used instead of std::vector. See the documentation for
    details.

  * When STL is enabled the xml_schema::string_sequence objects
    corresponding to the NMTOKENS and IDREFS types are now returned and
    passed by pointer rather than by value.

This release also adds official support for QNX 6.x, iPhone OS 2.x,
and Visual Studio 2008 with Smart Devices. For a complete list of
supported platforms and toolchains, refer to the Platforms page:
