1 NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !!
5 - INTERFACE CHANGE: the callback functions now take an extra argument: the
6 record/element identifier (that is also used as first argument in the
7 *_subscribe_* functions). The extra argument is the first argument.
9 - INTERFACE CHANGE: Age values are now parsed: an extra type is added to
10 the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an age_value (see documentation for
11 details). So, instead of GEDCOM_STRING, you now need to use GEDCOM_AGE
13 As a quick change, you can use the raw_value instead of the parsed_value
14 until you make the real change of using the struct age_value.
16 release 0.16 (16 August 2002):
18 - Another bugfixing release.
20 - Some compatibility with Lifelines 3.0.2 is added (not necessarily complete).
22 release 0.15 (27 March 2002):
24 - Again mainly a bugfixing release
26 - Compatibility with ftree is added, all GEDCOM files written by ftree
29 - Note for developers: you now have to call the function gedcom_init()
30 as soon as possible in your program (before any character set handling
31 is done, see documentation for details). If the function has not been
32 called, gedcom_parse_file() will return an error.
34 release 0.14 (20 January 2002):
36 - This is mainly a bugfixing release, no extra features have been added.
38 - Some example code is available on how to convert from UTF-8 to the locale
39 system, and how to check the library version via configure.in (see the
40 documentation for details).
42 release 0.13 (5 January 2002):
44 - Cross-references are now parsed and checked. For this, an extra type is
45 added to the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an xref pointer. This means
46 that GEDCOM_XREF_PTR has to be used now in some places instead of
48 A quick change is to replace
51 GEDCOM_XREF_PTR(val)->string
52 where applicable. But you can also store an object in the 'object' member
53 of the struct returned by GEDCOM_XREF_PTR (see documentation).
55 - Other interface changes in the callbacks:
56 - parsed tag value (integer) is passed next to the string value
57 - the start record callbacks now also contain a Gedcom_val (the NOTE can
60 - Further, various bugfixes have been made.
62 release 0.12 (31 December 2001):
64 - The calling of callbacks is now completed.
66 - Some initial documentation is available.
68 - The parsed value that is returned in callbacks can now be:
71 - a date (struct date_value)
72 See the documentation for more info. Parsing and checking of cross-
73 references will be added next.
75 release 0.11 (15 December 2001):
77 - Initial release from Sourceforge.net (developers only !)
