Release history
2024 (rev. >17373) (Sep 2024)
Upcoming release
Core
First release of U++ that requires C++17
Moveable concept redesigned with C++17 features. U++ now allows non-moveable types to be stored in Vector flavor of containers (using Upp::is_upp_guest). PODs are automatically moveable (aka trivially relocatable)
Upp::Tuple now supports structured binding
GetFileTime, GetFileLength, FileExists, DirectoryExists and FileMapping refactored
Stream::GetAll now invokes LoadError on negative count
ValueCache limits setting methods are simplified
Value now directly supports 'float' type
Some iffy code now made more C++ compliant (e.g. always using memcpy for unaligned data)
AsXML had new XML_ESCAPELF
plugin/Zip
zip64 support
Draw
UHD image now can serve as source for SD image
New S3 .iml image flag - the images are drawn supersampled 3x, usually without antialiasing, and only downsampled at runtime
Painter
Multithreaded rendering further optimised
New image filtering parameter - so far, rendering image was always with bilinear filtering, new parameter allows other Image filter like Lanczos 3
CtrlCore
Horizontal mouse scroll wheel support
CtrlMapper now provides operator()(Ctrl, T, const T& factor) for simple unit conversions
gtk backend improvements, XWayland mouse cursor bug workaround
CtrlLib
CtrlMapper now provides operator()(Ctrl, T, const T& factor) for simple unit conversions
ide
Icon Designer refactored and optimised, new tools added, S3 flag support added
Alt-M now goes to special scratchpad file of the same type as is current file, this is helpful e.g. for temporary storing and editing parts of .iml images that are then composed to the final image.
Output directory in assembly definition now can be left empty and defaults to reasonable path.
Hexadecimal view is now much faster
Fixed further corner case Assist++ problems
Layout designer text field, used with e.g. Labels, now has Qtf button to edit text with RichEdit
Git file history now goes through renames
Compare with menu now suggests files in Download folder too
Main package configuration dialog improved
plugin upgrades
plugin/sqlite3: 3.46.0
plugin/lzma: 24.6
plugin/zstd: 1.5.6
Core: LZ4 1.9.4
plugin/z: 1.3.1
plugin/png: 1.6.46
plugin/tif: 4.6.0
plugin/jpeg: 9f
Win32
OpenSSL upgraded to 3.2.1
Clang compiler upgraded to 18.1.5
2023.2 (rev. 17045) (Oct 2023)
Current stable release
This is release is mostly focused on improving TheIDE capabilities.
Core
CParser::ReadDoubleNoE (to ignore E part of double)
CParser::ReadIdh (with '-' in id)
Draw, CtrlLib
StdDisplay (if CtrlLib is present) now supports \1 qtf escape code
RichEdit, RichText
"Paste without formatting"
Clipboard 'HTML format' support
GetPlainText allow_tabs parameter; CtrlLib Prompt now sometimes uses '\t' to separate table cells.
EncodeHTML strikeout support
ide
New C++ sources indexer mode - previoualy, after each file change, all depended files were reindexed. That often resulted in very heavy CPU load after each header change. In the new mode, only the changed file is being reindexed - while less accurate, real problems in this new mode are actually rare and it makes for much more responsive experience using theide.
Many Assist cornercases fixed
Result lists of Find in Files and Usage now have "Replace" button which effectively brings the "rename the entity" functionality (e.g. to rename method, find its Usage and then use Replace)
Bottom pane was redesigned allowing for more Find in Files and Usage result lists.
Many improvements in source comparsions
"Show git history of file" now allows for choosing branches
"Compare with" now suggests files with the same name from other upp nests
"Compare directories" now allows comparison with git commit
Various windows like comparisons are now non-modal. It is now e.g. possible to open multiple e.g. Directory comparison windows
Merge nests function got ability to specify target folder. Default mode is now to "import" packages missing in the first nest to "imported" subfolder of the first nest. The idea is to create an assembly of first nest and its "imported" subfolder to have imported packages fixed, while still allowing the use of the very same packages from original sources with another assembly.
Visual improvements, UHD versions of many icons
C++ Language standard for assist (e.g. C++ 17) can now be selected in Assist setup
Flow breaking commands (return, break, continue, goto, co_return, throw) now have specific syntax highlighting
TheIDE now displays out-of-page function/class headers in the first line of editor. This is helpful for quick orientation when jumping into long function body.
External changes for files now getting proper undo records (previously undo history was lost when file was edited outside of ide session)
Repo sync git pull mode changed to "merge" (from "rebase")
U++ Builder now defines bmGIT_HASH (with git hash of first nests HEAD, if it is git repo).
Copy with Syntax highlighting function
umk
-h option to automatically download missing packages from UppHub if possible
Win32:
OpenSSL now upgraded to 1.1.1w
2023.1 (rev. 16847) (May 2023)
The new release brings some long awaited features. As you might remember for the last release we removed the old deprecated library for code formatting. In the current release formatting is back based on clang-format. Also TheIDE has got a special dialog when you can adjust formatting to your needs. Formatting is available under "Assist" -> "Reformat" menu.
macOS support, temporarily removed in previous release, is back. Our POSIX installation is now universal, covering Linux, BSDs and MacOS, which means that when you unpack it on macOS you just run ./install script to download all dependencies using brew and build umk and theide just like on other POSIX platforms. It is compatible with X86_64 and Apple ARM CPUs.
In other news, libclang based Assist++ has been significantly stabilized and some corner cases are now fixed.
Happy coding with U++ and TheIDE! We are glad that you decided to try our software!
Core
MacOS is supported again; POSIX and macOS releases are now merged to single archive
X11 backend compiles again
TheIDE
clang-format integration
assist stablization

Menubar GTK based styling has been improved
2022.3 (rev. 16660) (Dec 2022)
The leading entity for this release is migration for our homegrown C++ parser to LibClang. This is the revolutionary change in the context of how easy is to develop code with our integrated development environment TheIDE. If you are familiar with older parser, you will noticed changes in plus immediately. From other things we optimized memory consumption used by our widgets. All applications recompiled with the newest version of U++ will be the beneficiaries of this change. Furthermore, we refreshed TheIDE's AndroidBuilder and it is now capable of building Andorid project using the latest tool-chains from Google.
We would like to thank all of our amazing contributors and users! Without your help we wouldn't be in the place we are today. Also, many thanks to our UppHub contributors who do a great job. Your additional packages are very helpful and needed for our users.
Release highlights
Homegrown C++ parser in TheIDE is replaced with LibClang resulting in new and improved Assist++ features
Optimised memory consumption of U++ widgets.
macOS version is not released with 2022.3. Our main priority is to leverage this inconvenience in one of 2023.x releases. If you want to use U++ on macOS please use 2022.2 instead.
TheIDE:
Autocomplete now correctly works in most cases (except in template bodies, which is libclang limitation)
Code navigator refactored and improved
TheIDE now shows C++ errors while editing sources
TheIDE now shows information tips about program symbols when you leave mouse over it (documentation if available, declaration signature if not)
New function "Usage" shows all usages of current symbol through all project sources based on C++ analysis. With virtual methods, it shows all overrides of base class method.
Android Builder was updated and it is compatible with the latest Android platform version. At the time of writing these words it is version 33.
UMK
UMK displays version when run without parameters
CtrlCore, CtrlLib:
Memory consumption (esp. sizeof) of widgets greatly reduced (by up to 70%).
LabelBox now allows center and right alignment.
Fix issue with not working drag and drop for files on Windows
2022.2 (rev. 16270) (May 2022)

POSIX
Fix Manjaro (GNU/Linux) installation dependencies
2022.1 (rev. 16236) (April 2022)
Release highlights
sizeof(wchar) is changed to 4 (32 bits) to support non BMP unicode characters
This might bring some incompatibilities in the code that expects wchar to be 16 bit, which
escpecially involves dealing with Win32 (and to lesser extend MacOS) APIs, so if your application
is doing that, please check all instances of WCHAR (UniChar on MacOS) or even wchar
especially type casts.
To support host APIs, char16 is introduced (but there is no 16-bit String varian).
Use ToSystemCharsetW, FromSystemCharsetW to convert texts to Win32 API.
Support of drawing non-BMP characters in GUI
Vastly improved character font replacement code (when drawing characters missing with requested font, replacement font is used)
Last instances of Win32 ANSI calls (those ending with A) are removed
UTF handling routines are refactored and their's naming is unified

Some common nest root files like README.md or LICENSE are now directly accessible through <meta> pseudo-package.
TheIDE/umk build flags MAKE_LIB and MAKE_MLIB force generation of library instead of executable.
New "Merge nests" function (in Package organizer) copies all used packages that are not in the first nest of assembly into the first nest. In U++, first nest usually contains the application code whole while other nests contain libraries (U++ or 3rd party libraries). This function is intended to "freeze" the non-application code before releasing / tagging / branching to reduce the chance that a change of that code does not break the application.
TheIDE now can "Open terminal" at various directories (output directory, package directory, source file directory etc...), with PATH augmented with current build executable directories.

2017.1 (rev 10804) (Jan 2017)
This is the first release of U++ that requires C++11 compatible compiler. The main focus was Core, adding many enhancements allowed by C++11 and improved parallel programming support. We, also didn't forget about Android and we ported Core library on that platform.
Core
Original U++ Callbacks are deprecated and replaced with Function with better lambda support.
Begin/End methods are now renamed / deprecated in favor of (standard) begin/end.
U++ algorithms now primarily work on ranges, besides container SubRange, ConstRange and ViewRange are now provided.
Initial round of optimizations for ARM architecture.
U++ allocator optimized once again, locking is reduced in inter-thread deallocations, allocator now returns blocks always 16 bytes aligned (simplifies SSE2 code).
General cleanup of U++ algorithms, redundant algorithms removed, new Count and CountIf algorithms
Improvements in Core/RPC
CoWork::FinLock now provides 'free of charge' mutex at the end of worker jobs.
CoWorkerResources class now provides 'per worker thread' context.
CoPartition algorithm useful for partitioning array for parallel programming.
Where it makes sense, U++ algorithms now have parallel variant.
String further optimized, new TrimLast, TrimStart, TrimEnd, FindAfter, ReverseFindAfter
FastCompress (currently using LZ4) for internal program compression.
Core can be compiled on Android and major of features are currently ported.
xxHash - fast non-cryptographic hash - now part of Core.
SHA256 code now part of the Core.
plugin/pcre updated to the latest pcre version.
plugin/zstd now provides zstd compression (with multithreaded option).
plugin/lz4 now can multithreaded.
GUI programming & graphics
PdfDraw and RichText now support PDF signatures.
RichText now can change header/footer within document.
ArrayCtrl got SetLineColor and GetCellRect methods.
TheIDE
Comments now can be spell checked and there is comment word wrap and reformatting operation.
New functions / icons that search the web (launch the browser) for text selected or current identifier.
Optimal compilation mode is removed as confusing, it is now always either debug or release mode, release mode being configured for speed.
When comparing files, differences within single lines are now shown.
Most U++ designers now support drag&drop to reorganize lists.
Find File window was remastered.
New dialog for creating package file.
Android application can be directly launch on emulator from TheIDE.
Clang is now default compiler for native Android applications.
C++14 is now default standard for all Android builds.
Various android builder improvements.
ESC
New math functions like sin, cos, tg, pow etc.
New replace in string function.
General
Significantly improved the process of building TheIDE and UMK from tarball (POSIX environment). Compilation on multiple cores is possible with "-j" option.
Documentation improvements.
Bug fixes in various areas.
2015.2 (rev 9251) (Dec 2015)
The main focus of this release was C++ parser and Assist++ features. and Android applications builder in TheIDE (library does not yet support Android though).
Core
Improved C++11 support.
Leap second of 2015 added to time routines.
GUI programming & graphics
Improved support of UHD displays.
New QTF command {{* is shortcut for {{~0/0 to simplify using invisible tables for organizing text.
PdfDraw now supports urls (e.g. when converting QTF/RichText to PDF).
RichText/QTF now support round borders for table cells.
ScatterCtrl: new features.
TheIDE
Assist++ and C++ parser now support C++11 and non-project headers, parsing ability is generally improved.
Android builder.
UTF16 support, UTF BOM autodetection.
Rename/Delete package functions.
Layout designer has new code generation features and can jump to C++ using the layout.
Editor now truncates files longer than 200MB / 1GB (32/64 bits ide) while loading, makes them read-only.
Editor now shows misplaced whitespaces in source files.
TheIDE now detects binary files and provides binary viewer.
Toolbar has new navigation icons and icons to switch editation mode (text/designer/binary).
Legacy GDB-backended debugger was refurbished and became 'Standard' debugger for GCC.
Icon designer now shows images as files icons when inserting image files.
Win32 releases
Win32 now does not come as .exe installer, but simple .7z archive, which acts as "portable" installation. Nothing is written to the registry, nothing needs to be installed, simply running "theide.exe" setups everything needed. (theide.exe is 64bit executable. For those unlucky to still run 32-bit os, there is theide32.exe).
There is once again 'mingw' variant which is coupled with TDM64 release of mingw-w64.
2015.1 (rev 8227) (Mar 2015)
Core
U++ abandoned "default pick" semantics for containers. The transfer semantics now has to be specified explicitly, either as 'pick' or 'clone' (this is enforced in C++11 mode, in legacy mode old behaviour is maintained and pick/clone are optional).
New containers, based on fast-insertion arrays: InVector, InArray, SortedIndex, SortedVectorMap, SortedArrayMap. SortedIndex, SortedVectorMap and SortedArrayMap provide binary searches, while maintaining random access to the array, with performance comparable to binary tree based containers (e.g. std::map).
New Core/POP3 package - support for retrieving emails form POP3 servers.
Initial round of C++11 support (lambda callbacks, minor fixes)
A set of small utility functions findarg, decode, min/max now supporting more arguments. SplitTo and Merge for splitting/merging strings.
InFilterStream, OutFilterStream classes that can provide some sort of processing (e.g. compression) to regular streams.
New Date related functions EasterDay, GetMonths, GetWeek, GetWeekDate.
MIME / fileextension mapping functions FileExtToMIME and MIMEToFileExt.
Some ARMv7 related optimization (unaligned access, byte swaps).
SpinLock class.
Stream optimization methods GetPtr, PutPtr, GetSzPtr provide safe access to Stream internal buffer.
String/WString::Find(const String&) significantly speed optimized.
Value invalid casts now throwing exception ValueTypeError instead of panic.
WebSocket class.
[Stable]SortBy[Keys|Values] functions for sorting VectorMap, ArrayMap.
plugin/lz4 - adapted fast compression library
plugin/lzma - adapted high ratio compression library
plugin/glew - popular OpenGL utility library adapted as package
