1.5.1

• Common clean ups in Mapping Editor View
• Fix crash im Import Mapping Dialog

1.5.0

• Adapt Mapping Editor to the deal with mapping configuration file version 2.0
• Create a DDL View for the description property within Mapping Editor
• Remove Manage DDL Dialog from Mapping Editor
• Adapt Mapping Editor to deal with a predefined "target/source"<->type pair choice
• Add detail widget for type/DDL in import-reference-mapping dialog
• Long path support on Windows (if configured on OS)
  • Go to your registry and add a DWORD with name LongPathsEnabled and value 1 to the following registry key:
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\FileSystem
• Show the detailed validation error when loading DDL with validation errors
• Handle exceptions and show validation protocol in console

1.4.3

• Extend RPATH for QT5 UI Tools on Linux

1.4.2

• Correct calculation of padding bytes
• Fix crashes during header conversion if enum elements are too big

1.4.1

• Make use of Dev Essential 1.3.4

1.4.0

• Make use of Dev Essential 1.3.2

1.3.0

• Add option to disbale validation during converting a DDL file to a header file
• Make order predictable
• Enable usage for CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR
• Update CI and CD

1.2.0

• Extend Header2DDL generation with option to use a certain byteorder use [-b LE] for little endian; use [-b BE] for big endian
• Migrate ddl2header CLI from Clara to Clipp
• Description files saved by the DDL Editor always follow the same pattern where possible and wise, entries are sorted in ascending order
• Automatic calculation of byte position on changes of attributes, the byteposition is new calculated
• Make header2ddl to a real header2ddl
  • header2ddl provides three options:
    • fromXML: this is for compatibility to older versions and provides the conversion from castxml-output (xml-file) to a description file
    • fromSCR: offers possibility to do the conversion in one step. castxml is called under the hood, but therefore it needs a configuration
    • config: necessary to specify path to castxml and compiler executable to get information for calling castxml to create the xml-file
• Prevent crash of DDL Editor selecting dynamic array size true
• remove unnecessary json and clipp search within ddl_utility-config.cmake

• Cleanup code for Open source distribution
• Support comments for structs and struct elements
• Add possibility to create enum class types
• Add an option to disable header creation and only call the hooks
• Add commandline option to force stdtypes or ddltypes while header generation
• Uses correct decimal point
• Upgrade to Qt 5.15.2

1.0.2

• Consider global namespace for header generation

1.0.1

• Avoid multiple definition of symbols in ddl2header

1.0.0

• Change DDL Editor and Mapping Editor to new DDL API
• Define and apply whitespace settings in .gitattributes file
• Create a DDL Generation Tool out of the MD Gen tool in ADTF
• Homogenize cmake packaging / exports for FindPackage

Known Issues / Restrictions

• Mapping Editor does not support undo/redo
• DDL misses encoding within adtfdat files to handle german special characters (e.g. Umlaute)
• It is not possible to work with units
• Unsupported types of unions and bitfields are not reported as error
• Double padding of structs with alignment 8
• structs/enums in struct definitions are not supported yet within header files
