v0.8.0

New syntax features

There are some new rules to simplify JSON files. The minimal JSON that works with v0.8.0 is {"command":"echo Hello","components":[]}.

• Array brackets can now be omitted when the array has only one item. (#51)
• GUI elements (e.g. "command") can now be defined in root object when the "gui" array has only one item. (#52)
• GUI labels became optional, and "window_name" can now be default values of GUI labels. (#54)

Other changes

• Tuw now redirects stderr into the console window. (#57)
• Replaced std::string with a custom string class to reduce the binary size. (#56)
• Renamed Windows10 build (*-Windows-x64-ucrt.zip) to *-Windows10-x64.zip. (#50)

Known Issues

• Linux build has a memory leak. (#60)

v0.7.2

Changelog

• Added "optional" to ignore some options when a text box is empty. (#48)
• Added "prefix" and "suffix" options to append strings to user inputs. (#48)
• Removed unused functions and symbols from release builds.
• Re-enabled exception handlings for the std library.
• Optimized some functions for binary size.

Notes

• Linux builds only support distributions using glibc.
  Build the executable by yourself if you want to use it on unsupported distros.
• Tuw-*-Windows-x64-ucrt.zip is much smaller than the standard version, but it only works on Windows10 or later.
• Tuw supports more unix-like systems (BSD, Haiku, illumos, etc.)

New features

• Added radio buttons to GUI components

Bug fixes

• Fixed an error when opening URLs with debug builds.
• Fixed a crash when using multiprocessing on Windows.
• Fixed a bug that drag-drop events were ignored on newer versions of GTK.
• Fixed a bug that tuw didn't check the type of the "default" values for combo boxies.

Docs updates

"placeholder" and "combo" were supported as alternate spellings in old versions. I decided to use them as the standard ones.

• Replaced "empty_message" with "placeholder" in docs.
• Replaced "choice" with "combo" in docs.

You don't need to edit your old json files. "empty_message" and "choice" work in the same way as the old versions.

• Fixed a bug that old components won't be freed when putting new components.
