v1.0.5

What's new

Adds the standard LBNL two-layer CMake preset structure and a project README. Infrastructure-only release — no source changes.

Shipped (CMakePresets.json)

• default-debug / default-release — standard configure. Picks the system default compiler (MSVC on Windows, system cc/c++ on Linux/macOS).
• local-debug / local-release — identical to default-* today since xmlParser has no FetchContent dependencies, but kept in the structure so personal compiler presets can "inherits": "local" and the file is forward-compatible if a dep ever gets added.

Plus two hidden: true inheritance bases (default, local) so personal user presets can inherit cleanly.

Personal user presets

CMakeUserPresets.json is now gitignored. The README shows a realistic per-machine example — building with WSL Clang on a Windows machine — including the JetBrains vendor.jetbrains.com/clion.toolchain hint so CLion 2023.2+ automatically routes the preset through the WSL toolchain without per-preset configuration in Settings → CMake.

README

The repo had no README.md before this release. Added a short overview, prerequisites, consumer installation snippet (FetchContent + add_subdirectory), and the full Building section that documents the shipped presets and personal-overrides workflow.

Notes

• No API or header changes.
• No new dependencies.

v1.0.4

Changes

• Removed wide-char (wchar_t) support, making the char-only API the permanent default
• Ensured _XMLWINDOWS remains defined when wide-char mode is disabled
• Library is now encoding-neutral (char-only)

Breaking Changes

• All wide-char API functions and types have been removed. Code relying on XMLWSTR, ToXMLStringToolW, or other
  wide-char interfaces will need to migrate to char-based equivalents.

You can copy that directly. Ready for the next repo when you are.

v1.0.3

• Conversion to C++20
• Warning messages removed from Windows compilation

v1.0.2

• Replacing NULL with explicite null character to try to resolve build issues in pywincalc manylinux wheels

v1.0.1

Removing non-portable functions suggest by visual studio.

v0.0.3

• Removed non-portable functions

v0.0.2

Added a function called openFileHelperThrows that throws a std::runtime_error if there is a problem opening or parsing a xml file.
