Changelog

Version 3.3.0

API Changes:

• tixiXPathEvaluateNodeNumber will not throw an error anymore when an xml node does not exist. Rather, the function will succeed and return zero. (issue #198)
• Fixed inconsistent behavior of the function tixiUpdateTextElement: This function should only work, when the element path refers to a single element with no XML child nodes or at most one text child node. This is now explicitly checked and an error is thrown, if these prerequisites are not met. Without this, it is not clear how the function behaves e.g. at the presence of comment child nodes.
• tixiXPathExpressionGetTextByIndex now retrieves the complete content of an element including text and comments.

New Functions:

• tixiExportElementAsString retrieves the xml string of a given element (issue #202)
• tixiImportElementFromString imports a char-string as a child element into an existing tixi-document (issue #202).

Version 3.2.0

API Changes:

• Fixed inconsistent behaviour of the function tixiAddExternalLink. The function now creates external node links consistent to tixiOpenDocumentRecursive. A new required argument defines, whether the newly created external node should be directly loaded into the xml tree (issue #173).

General Changes:

• Drasting performance improvements when adding and changing vectors via tixiAddFloatVector and tixiUpdateFloatVector by changing the quadratic runtime behaviour to a linear behaviour (issue #183).
• Added support for Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 (issue #178).

Fixes:

• Fixed invalid calls in matlab bindings (issue #170).
• Fixed error code in tixiGetFloatVector, if a vector element is not a number (issue #184).
• Fixed a crash when saving to external xml documents (issue #175).

Version 3.1.1

Fixes:

• Fix for tixiGetDoubleElement and tixiGetIntegerElement and elements with trailing whitespace.
• Removed all exit( ) calls in TiXI

Version 3.1.0

API Changes:

• Deprecated all array functions. These are

  • tixiGetArray
  • tixiGetArrayDimensionNames
  • tixiGetArrayDimensions

  • tixiGetArrayDimensionValues
  • tixiGetArrayElementCount
  • tixiGetArrayElementNames
  • tixiGetArrayParameterNames
  • tixiGetArrayParameters
  • tixiGetArrayValue

  These functions will be removed in TiXI 3.3.0!

• tixiGetDoubleElement and tixiGetIntegerElement now return the error code NO_NUMBER, if the element is not a number. Before, TiXI returned '0' as a number without error.
• tixiGetFloatVector and tixiGetVectorSize do not check for mapType="vector" anymore.

General Changes:

• The validation error messages produced by tixiSchemaValidateFromFile, tixiSchemaValidateWithDefaultsFromFile and tixiSchemaValidateFromString now show line numbers of the error in the xml file.

New Functions:

• Added new function tixiRemoveExternalLinks to remove links to external files to improve validation of xml files.

Fixes:

• Fixed several build problems

New Functions:

• tixiSwapElements allows to exchange two xml elements.
• Added functions TixiGetNumberOfChilds, TixiGetChildNodeName and TixiGetChildElementPaths to C++ Bindings.
