libsigc++-3.0.4 (wait for glibmm-3.16)

[Douglas R. Reno]

New major version

News
====

This is the first stable release of sigc++-3.0, installable in
parallel with sigc++-2.0.
Changes compared to the latest unstable release:

* Fix tuple_transform_each() for libc++
  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Issue #25 (Jeff Trull)

Documentation:
* Remove some obsolete documentation
  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

Tests:
* Make test_track_obj.cc compile with clang++
  (Kjell Ahlstedt)
* Don't call static method via instance
  (Murray Cumming)

[Bruce Dubbs]

We do not need to install this right now. The only packages that use libsigc++ are cairomm and glibmm. Both of those explicitly call for version 2.0.

Moving to hold.

[Pierre Labastie]

Now cairomm-1.16.0 needs v3. Three packages depend on libsigc++: glibmm, cairomm, and pavucontrol.

Present version of glibmm (2.64.x) needs v2. But next version (2.66.x) will require v3

For pavucontrol, most recent development still requires v2.

I guess we should be prepared to live with both versions for a while...

3.0.2 (stable)

• Build: Meson build improvements.

3.0.1 (stable)

• Build:
  • Add meson build, alongside the existing autotools and CMake builds.
  • CMake: Fix the MSVC build, enable warnings, and disable unnecessary warnings, with MVSC.
• connection: Allow copying of empty connections.
• sigc++/adaptors/bind.h: Make bind_functor::bound_ public. (Used by sigc::visitor::do_visit_each().
• test_limit_reference: Avoid virtual-move-assign warning (seen with g++ 9.2)
• signal: slot_iterator_buf: Remove unused T_result default type
• tests: Slight cleanups
• Remove unused #ifdefed code.

3.0.0 (stable)

This is the first stable release of sigc++-3.0, installable in parallel with sigc++-2.0. Changes compared to the latest unstable release:

• Fix tuple_transform_each() for libc++

Documentation:

• Remove some obsolete documentation

Tests:

• Make test_track_obj.cc compile with clang++
• Don't call static method via instance

2.99.13: (unstable)

• Replace the deprecated std::result_of with std::invoke_result (Kjell Ahlstedt) Issue #19

Build:

• CMake: Supply SIGC_BUILD and use CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD

Documentation:

• Remove some obsolete documentation
• Rename README to README.md and update it
• Reference docs generated by Doxygen 1.8.11. Hopefully it will show up at ​https://developer.gnome.org/libsigc++/unstable/

Tests:

• Add some necessary #include directives

2.99.12: (unstable)

• Avoid compiler warnings from function pointer conversions

Build:

• Replace the Visual Studio project files with MSVC NMake project files Add MSVC_NMake/README.txt for Visual Studio builds
• cmake: Require C++17 support

Documentation:

• Update links in README, configure.ac, libsigcplusplus.doap
• README: Update compiler requirement

2.99.11: (unstable)

libsigc++-3.0 now requires C++17. Use of C++17:

• Use std::apply to simplify implementation.
• Use std::invoke to make implementation more generic.
• Use constexpr if to simplify implementation.

Build:

• Require mm-common 0.9.12

2.99.10: (unstable)

• slot_base::set_parent(): Create a dummy slot_rep if necessary
• visit_each.h: Add an #include.

2.99.9: (unstable)

• signal_impl::clear(): Don't clear the slot list during signal emission, to prevent a segfault. And add a test for this.
• Remove signal_base::erase() and signal_impl::erase().
• Various minor code cleanups.
• Windows: Update the MS Visual Studio build.

2.99.8: (unstable)

• signal_impl:
  • Use std::weak_ptr<signal_impl> in connected slots, to avoid a memory leak.
  • clear(): Really avoid erasing the slots prematurely.
• slot_rep: Make destructor, destroy, and clone() virtual, instead of using function pointers that do the same thing.

Build:

• Visual Studio builds: Require Visual Studio 2017.
• Add tests/memleakcheck.sh, to run the tests under valgrind.
• Make --disable-benchmark work.
• Make silent builds really silent.

2.99.7: (unstable)

• connection, slot_base: Use an internal::weak_raw_ptr<> to simplify the code.
• signal_base: Do not derive from trackable.
• slot_rep: Pass a slot_rep*, not notifiable*, to destroy().
• signal_impl: Do not derive from notifiable.

2.99.6 (unstable):

• signal: Remove slots() and the container that it returns, and the iterator for that container. See ​https://mail.gnome.org/archives/libsigc-list/2016-April/msg00009.html
• signal: connect(): Return a connection, instead of an iterator that can be implicitly converted to a connection.
• Use std::shared_ptr<> for signal_impl reference-counting. Instead of manual reference-counting.
• slot: Use unique_ptr<> to avoid direct call of destructor.
• Add optional benchmark code, using boost::timer.
• Make some single-item constructors explicit.
• Make some member variables and methods private.
• Remove _ and prefixes on variables and parameters.
• Header guards: Remove leading underscores (and trailing underscores).
• limit_derived_target<T_Target>: Rename to limit_trackable_target<> and visit_each_type<T_Type>() to visit_each_trackable() to make their purpose more obvious.

2.99.5 (unstable):

• Functors (mem_functor, ptr_functor) no longer need to derive from a common functor_base base class, and functors no longer need to have a result_type typedef or alias.
• emitters and accumulators no longer need t ohave a result_type typedef or alias.
• Remove now-unnecessary adaptor_type type aliases.
• Remove some more unused and unnecessary public type aliases.

2.99.4 (unstable):

• Minor documentation improvements.
• Make some constructors explicit.
• Some more minor uses of C++11 syntax.
• Remove unused SIGC_FUNCTORS_DEDUCE_RESULT_TYPE_WITH_DECLTYPE.
• Reformat code with clang-format.

2.99.3 (unstable):

• Correct the license of some header files from GPL to LGPL.

2.99.2 (unstable):

• slots and signal: These should now be declared with the

    sigc::slot<R(Args...)>
    and
    sigc::signal<R(Args...)>
    syntax, like std::function<>.
  

  Version 2.9/2.10 of libsigc++-2.0 supports both the old and new syntax.
• sigc::men_fun(): Take the instance by reference only.

2.99.1 (unstable):

This is the first release of the libsigc++-3.0 API, which installs in parallel with libsigc++-2.0. The API is not significantly different, but the implementation is far simpler, using variadic templates instead of generating C++ code from .m4 files.

libsigc++-3.0 requires a compiler with C++14 support.

Fixed at revision 23790.

Did not need to wait for next glibmm since libsigc++-3 can be installed next to libsigc++-2.
