NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !! release 0.17 (??): - INTERFACE CHANGE: the callback functions now take an extra argument: the record/element identifier (that is also used as first argument in the *_subscribe_* functions). The extra argument is the first argument. - INTERFACE CHANGE: Age values are now parsed: an extra type is added to the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an age_value (see documentation for details). So, instead of GEDCOM_STRING, you now need to use GEDCOM_AGE for age values. As a quick change, you can use the raw_value instead of the parsed_value until you make the real change of using the struct age_value. release 0.16 (16 August 2002): - Another bugfixing release. - Some compatibility with Lifelines 3.0.2 is added (not necessarily complete). release 0.15 (27 March 2002): - Again mainly a bugfixing release - Compatibility with ftree is added, all GEDCOM files written by ftree should load fine now. - Note for developers: you now have to call the function gedcom_init() as soon as possible in your program (before any character set handling is done, see documentation for details). If the function has not been called, gedcom_parse_file() will return an error. release 0.14 (20 January 2002): - This is mainly a bugfixing release, no extra features have been added. - Some example code is available on how to convert from UTF-8 to the locale system, and how to check the library version via configure.in (see the documentation for details). release 0.13 (5 January 2002): - Cross-references are now parsed and checked. For this, an extra type is added to the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an xref pointer. This means that GEDCOM_XREF_PTR has to be used now in some places instead of GEDCOM_STRING. A quick change is to replace GEDCOM_STRING(val) by GEDCOM_XREF_PTR(val)->string where applicable. But you can also store an object in the 'object' member of the struct returned by GEDCOM_XREF_PTR (see documentation). - Other interface changes in the callbacks: - parsed tag value (integer) is passed next to the string value - the start record callbacks now also contain a Gedcom_val (the NOTE can have a value) - Further, various bugfixes have been made. release 0.12 (31 December 2001): - The calling of callbacks is now completed. - Some initial documentation is available. - The parsed value that is returned in callbacks can now be: - a null value - a string - a date (struct date_value) See the documentation for more info. Parsing and checking of cross- references will be added next. release 0.11 (15 December 2001): - Initial release from Sourceforge.net (developers only !) # $Id$ # $Name$
