Fixes

https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/pull/124: [parser] package should be optional

Improvements

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/22: Parse comments for MessageField & EnumField [parser].
  This feature was introduced in order to allow users
  generate documentation/javadoc from proto files.
• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/pull/118: Add two new formats for code generator - PLURAL and SINGULAR [code generator]

Fixes

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/16: LinkBuffer#getBuffers should include the current buffer [core]
• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/117: [protostuff-maven-plugin]: protoModule without output definition gives NPE

Improvements

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/pull/105: Add option for generating field maps with original field names [generated code]

Fixes

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/98: Fix for messages with sparse/big @Tag values [runtime schemas]
• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/108: Fix for default values in java_bean_model [generated code]
• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/107: Getter of optional enum should return null if not set [generated code]

Compatibility notes

• Please check https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/107 as it changes structure of the schema, generated by java_bean. Now default values are not applied automatically for all field types, unless default value is specified explicitly.
  If you use protobuf as a serialization format, you should always do check for null and treat null as a default value. For example, you can use Guava's utility method: MoreObjects.firstNonNull(message.getNullableFieldValue(), DEFAULT_FIELD_VALUE).

Improvements

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/81: add validation for @Tag annotation value, throw an IllegalArgumentException when value is out of range [protostuff-runtime]

• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/pull/94: add method getProtoType for Field [code generator]
• https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/92: generate equals() and hashCode() for generated messages [code generator]

Improvements

https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/86: Configure system properties for maven plugin in the POM

Now it is possible to specify proto-compiler options directly in pom.xml

<plugin>
        <groupId>io.protostuff</groupId>

            </property>
          </properties>
