@pepone pepone released this 26 Feb 18:48

The main updates in the Ice Builder version 4.2.0 are:

  • Added support for building the Ice 3.7 source distribution.
  • Starting with this release, when the Output Directory for a C++ project contains a MSBuild property that expands to different values for each configuration, the project includes generated files in each configuration and set the Exclude From Build property to build these generated C++ files only for the target configuration.
  • Added MSbuild tasks to build Ice for PHP and Ice for Python.
  • C++ projects have a new property IceBuilderHeaderOutputDir that allows to move the generated C++ header files into a separate directory.
  • Added ability to enable or disable the automatic compilation of Slice files. See Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Ice Builder in Visual Studio. Automatic Slice file compilation is disabled by default, which speeds up the loading of solutions with many projects.
  • Visual Studio 2015 is now required to build the Ice Builder, but the resulting extension remain usable with Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013.
