Version 0.5.0 (New Type Solver Beta)

[TenebrisNoctua]

Release Version 0.5.0 (New Type Solver Beta)

• Improvements to Inheritance and Constructors:
  • super() can now be called within constructors to access parent constructors.
  • super() can now be called both within normal class functions and constructors in a chain system. This now makes it possible for systems such as constructor chaining to exist with Class++.
  • With these changes to super(), automatic parent class constructor calling has now been removed.
  • super() can no longer be called without its object argument.
  • Constructors and destructors are no longer inherited.
• Improvements to Types:
  • In inherited classes, class.new() will now have the correct argument types for the parameter types in the constructor function.
  • In inherited class objects, private members will now properly show up in the auto-complete.
  • The type system is now more consistent and faster internally, and many bugs have been fixed. This means you will get auto-complete faster with less issues.
  • class.new() will also be more forgiving in the strict type-checking mode for arguments.
• Others:
  • Object creation is now faster.
  • Class creation is now faster.
  • The version number in the main module is now consistent with the actual version.
  • Fixed a bug where indexing the class object would allow you to bypass the classData restrictions.
