Major Features
- Networking functionality is added into System::Net namespace.
- aspose_cpp library is switched to explicit exports. Internal members are no longer exported.
- Aliasing constructor is supported by SmartPtr class.
- Equals method overloads ambiguity is fixed when methods with different parameter names are added.
- Assertion faults now break whole test instead of current function only which caused inconsistency between C# and C++ behavior.
- MinGW 7.1 compiler is no longer supported.
Minor fixes
- CppConstexpr attribute is fixed to work properly on generic class members.
- Missing include fixed when generating code using System::MakeObject() function but not referencing System::Array type.
- Issue with events declared in interfaces is fixed. Previously, duplicated code is being generated.
- Issue tranlating implicit casts when assigning to properties is fixed.
- Issue translating static events is fixed.
- gtest supported version is upgraded to #9ab640c.
- BitArray to null comparison translation is fixed.
- Inheritance from IDictionary<TKey,TValue> interface is now translated properly.
- 4-argument version of String.Concat() is supported.
- String::EndsWith() behavior is fixed for zero length substrings lookup.
- Queue and Stack containers now support CppWeakPtr(0) attribute to keep contained pointers weak.
- StringBuilder class now works with null objects properly.
- CppSkipDefinition attribute now works properly with destructors.
- A error is fixed for partial class porting when another class is present in the same file.
- Environment::GetFolderPath() is implemented on Windows.
