0.5.0

  • Kanzi Rust API now works with Kanzi 3.9.12.

  • Implemented a procedural macro to enable inheritance from C++ classes.

  • Added support for defining crates as dynamically loaded modules.

  • Added a new plugin example with inheritance: XmlDataSource (as a part of ./examples/hello_rust).

  • Standardized all callback function signatures to return kanzi::Result.

  • Replaced all instances of the unwrap method with except for improved error handling.

  • Added Location context for kanzi::Error.

  • Introduced interfaces for ListBoxConcept, Trajectory, and NamedIntervalProfiler.

  • Added support for binding interfaces: AbstractBinding, Binding, TwoWayBinding, and ToSourceBinding.
