Major Features

  1. Gregorian calendar implementation was revised. Other previously unsupported calendars were implemented.
  2. Several bugs were fixed and several features implemented for System::Drawing classes.
  3. make_library option was supported in porter.
  4. ‘includes’ attribute was supported for ‘implementation’ config file node.
  5. ‘cpp_enum_enable_metadata’ option was added making it possible enabling metadata generation for all enums being ported.

Minor fixes.

  1. C2487 error was fixed when building ported code with per-class exports for classes implementing ICloneable, IComarable and IEquatable interfaces.

  6. Graphics::SetClip and Graphics::FillRegion methods were implemented.
  7. Some more missing System::Drawing methods were implemented.
  8. System::Uri class was improved. Several compilation and runtime issues were fixed. Missing members were implemented, related classes and enums were updated as well.

  17. Color naming issues were fixed for predefined colors.
  18. IsIdentity feature of Matrix class was supported.
  19. PixelFormat detection was improved for Bitmap class.

  23. Some clipping issues with Graphics class were fixed.
  24. Transformed drawing of PathGradientBrush was fixed.
  25. Wrong image geometry was fixed for the cases when CompoundArray is used.
  26. Some service methods were added into System::Drawing classes to be used by Aspose products only.
  27. Graphics::DrawString method was fixed for the case of vertical text. Unexpected NullReferenceException thrown by this method was fixed.
  28. BitConverter::GetBytes method was implemented on Linux.
  29. Some fonts’ behavior was fixed on Linux.
  30. Text shadowing was fixed.
  31. Line caps were fixed in some cases.
  32. GCC compilations issues were fixed with image.h and enum operators.
  33. Some kerning issues were fixed.
  34. XmlReader::ReadToNextSibling() method was implemented.
  35. Nested internal classes forward declaration was fixed.
  36. License file was included into Nuget package as per new Nuget.org policy.
  37. Shared exports macro was fixed for type conversion operators.
  38. Named groups support was fixed for Regex and related classes.
  39. Encoding-related classes cloning was fixed.
  40. Behaviour of StreamWriter.Writeline(chararray, index, count) method was fixed.
  41. Some unwanted binaries were dropped from release package.
  42. Compilation issue was fixed with ternary operator applied to boolean variable and item of boolean array.
