| ODB 2.5.0 released | Jan 14, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Major new features in this release include the ability to map C++ types as other C++ types, support for bulk operations and stored procedure/function calls in PostgreSQL, and support for attaching additional databases in SQLite. | |
| XSD 4.2.0 released | Oct 05, 2023 |
| This release contains a large number of bug fixes and minor improvements that have accumulated over the years. Additionally, in this version the default C++ standard that is used by the generated code was changed from C++98 to C++11. Note also that this will be the last version that supports C++98. | |
build2 0.16.0 released |
Jul 04, 2023 |
| The two main areas of focus in this release are the system package manager integration and more advanced functionality for more complex projects. The system package manager support includes both consumption and production of binary distribution packages, including uploading them from the CI builds. This support required a large amount of ground work which produced functionality useful in its own right, such as relocatable installations, installation filtering, and installation manifests. The more advanced functionality includes built-in support for the Objective-C/C++ and Assembler with C Preprocessor (.S) compilation, dynamic target extraction in addition to prerequisites, and support for buildfile importation. | |
build2 0.15.0 released |
Jul 28, 2022 |
| The overall theme of this release is more advanced functionality that is becoming necessary as we start to use build2 to handle more complex projects. Specifically, the package manager now supports a number of more advanced dependency declaration features, including conditional dependencies, dependency alternatives, and dependency configuration. On the build system side we now have rule hints, support for dynamic dependencies in ad hoc recipes, and the ability to save user metadata in C/C++ libraries. | |
build2 0.14.0 released |
Oct 19, 2021 |
| The main focus of this release is support for build-time dependencies and the host/target configuration split that it necessitates. This support required a large amount of ground work which produced functionality useful in its own right, such as hermetic builds and configuration linking. Another notable new feature is ad hoc regex pattern rules. | |
build2 0.10.0 released |
Mar 19, 2019 |
Coming shortly after 0.9.0, this is more of a maintenance
release that nevertheless includes a good number of new features. It
was also an opportunity to hone our release process with the overall
goal of increasing the release cadence.

build2 — C++ Build Toolchain |
February 3, 2016 |
build2 is an open source, cross-platform toolchain
for building and packaging C++ code. It includes a build system,
package manager, and repository web interface. We've also started
cppget.org, a public repository
of open source C++ packages.
This is the first alpha release and currently it is more of a technology preview rather than anything that is ready for production. |

| ODB 2.4.0 released | February 11, 2015 |
| Major new features in this release include support for bulk operations in Oracle and SQL Server, the ability to join and load multiple objects with a single SELECT statement execution (object loading views), as well as support for calling stored procedures in MySQL and SQL Server. This release also adds support for Visual Studio 2013, including project/solution files for all the runtime libraries, examples, and tests. | |
