Version 3 - 10/11/16

CXXD is updated so that what was previously called alias mode is now the basic programming mode of the library. Headers for the basic mode are in the main cxx_dual include directory and low-level headers for what was previously called macro mode are in the impl sub-directory of the include directory. All documentation of functionality is done using the basic mode making use of namespace aliases.

The macro for turning off consistency, previously called CXXD_NO_CONSISTENCY, has been removed and CXXD now enforces consistency of the dual library chosen for a particular mod throughout a TU.

The documemtation has been rewritten in many places to present a simpler explanation of the basic mode of using the library, and a separation between basic mode and more advanced topics. A rationale for the design of the library and the changes made to support a method of programming which de-emphasizes the use of macros has also been added to the documentation, as well as this history.

The use of a shared_ptr mod, whose basic mod header included all related shared_ptr C++ header files, while its shared_ptr_only mod header included only the shared_ptr C++ header file(s), has changed. In the latest implementation for the shared_ptr mod, the basic mod header includes only the C++ header file(s) for shared_ptr, while a shared_ptr_all mod header includes all related shared_ptr C++ header files. This follows the design where any mod's header file only includes the C++ header(s) needed by that mod. The shared_ptr_all mod header is a 1-off instance of a difference from this design in order to ease the functionality of shared_ptr use, which often involves other shared_ptr related mod functionality.

Version 2 - 07/22/16

CXXD is updated to provide an alias mode as an alternative to the macro-based mode of version 1. The macro mode is still the main programming mode used by the immediate headers in the cxx_dual include directory. The alias mode uses headers in the cxx_dual impl sub-directory of the include directory and automatically includes its macro-mode header.

Support for Boost Build in the library has been enhanced to make it easy to add requirements to a build based on whether a library uses the Boost or C++ standard implementation of a mod.

Version 1 - 06/02/16

CXXD is created as a macro-based library where the programming mode is through the use of macros, both for including the correct headers file(s) and using the correct namespace.
