v1.0.30

This release includes a lot of XML documentation updates. Also, due to dotnet/roslyn#49568, I am forced to make the XML documentation members public instead of internal for the time being.

This release includes a lot of nullable reference syntax updates.

New Features:

• TryToRomanNumeral
• Bag data structure _{(work in progress... likely to change in near future)}

Bug Fixes:

• added more exception checks to JSON and XML delegate serialization/deserialization

Changes:

• ToCompareResult converted to an extension method on int
• ArrayJagged<T> removed _{This was a legacy type that I wanted to remove for a while and just got around to it. If I add it back in Towel in the future, it will have a different design with more modularity.}
• TryParse methods on measurement types changed from bool TryParse(string, out MEASUREMENT) to (bool, MEASUREMENT?) TryParse(string)
• added more exception checks to Towel.Mathematics.Symbolics
• added more exception checks to Towel.Measurements.Measurement

v1.0.29

Bug Fixes:

• Towel.Mathematics.Symbolics.Parse<T>(...) bug fix while parsing operations such as "squareroot(5)"
• RedBlackTreeLinked<T, TCompare>.GetEnumerator() fixed bug when tree is empty

Changes:

• renamed Compare<TSift>(...) to CompareSift<TSift>(...) on both ISortedBinaryTree<T> to avoid naming collisions
• renamed Contains<TSift>(...) to ContainsSift<TSift>(...) on both ISortedBinaryTree<T> to avoid naming collisions
• renamed TryRemove<TSift>(...) to TryRemoveSift<TSift>(...) on both ISortedBinaryTree<T> to avoid naming collisions
• changed IAddable<T> method bool TryAdd(T, out Exception) to (bool, Exception?) TryAdd(T)
  • extension methods also adjusted
• changed IRemovable<T> method bool TryRemove(T, out Exception) to (bool, Exception?) TryRemove(T)
  • extension methods also adjusted
• removed StepperRef and StepperRefBreak methods
  • this is better handled by IFunc<T, (T, StepStatus)> than a custom method signature with ref parameters. I will likely add new methods called Mutate as a replacement in the future, but for now I just removed them. Here is a benchmark that influenced this descision: https://github.com/asc-community/dotnet-benchmarks/tree/master/Benchmarks/IterationRefParametersVsReturns.
• added T[] ToArray() to IDataStructure<T> (mainly for inheritdoc)
• added ICloneable<T> (mainly for inheritdoc)
  • there appears to be a bug in roslyn regarding this: dotnet/roslyn#54069
• exposed Bound<T> Exists and Value getters

v1.0.28

Bug Fixes:

• Measurement Conversion Calculation afd51a9

Changes:

• ReplaceCached [method] removed (was a stupid idea...)

v1.0.27

Note This is the first non-preview release of the Towel package on nuget.org.

New Features:

Changes:

• TryParseRomanNumeral parameter string->ReadOnlySpan<char>
• Extensions.IsDefined generic contraints where T : Enum => where TEnum : struct, Enum
• renamed ActionRuntime<...> to SAction<...>
  • renamed .Do(...) to .Invoke(...)
• renamed FuncRuntime<...> to SFunc<...>
  • renamed .Do(...) to .Invoke(...)
• removed unnecessary mathematics delegates

v1.0.26-alpha

New Features:

• HeapArray<T, TCompare>->MinimumCapacity [property] added setter

Bug Fixes:

• Console.IntMenu fixed bug where a hard coded value was used instead of the invalidMessage parameter
• HeapArray<T, TCompare> added exception checks for invalid minimum capacity values

Changes:

• many Towel.DataStructures namespace interfaces, types, and methods were redesigned
  • IDataStructure<T>->void Stepper(Action<T> step) [method] removed _{handled via extension methods}
  • IDataStructure<T>->StepStatus Stepper(Func<T, StepStatus> step) [method] removed _{handled via extension methods}
  • IDataStructure<T>->StepStatus StepperBreak<TStep>(TStep step = default) [method] added
  • ISortedBinaryTree<T> [interface] added
  • IAvlTree<T> [interface] added
  • AvlTreeLinked<T> [class] removed _{converted to static factory methods}
  • IRedBlackTree<T> [interface] added
  • RedBlackTreeLinked<T> [class] removed _{converted to static factory methods}
  • TreeMap<T>->TreeMap<T, TEquate, THash> [class] generic arguments changed
  • HeapArray<T> [class] removed _{converted to static factory methods}
  • SetHashLinked<T> [class] removed _{converted to static factory methods}
  • GraphMap<T>->GraphMap<T, TEquate, THash> [class] generic arguments changed
  • MapHashLinked<T, K> [class] removed _{converted to static factory methods}
  • DataStructure.IEquating<K> removed from interface IMap<T, K> [interface]
  • IEquating<T>->IEquating<T, TEquate> [interface] generic arguments changed
  • IHashing<T>->IHashing<T, THash> [interface] generic arguments changed
  • GraphSetOmnitree<T>->GraphSetOmnitree<T, TEquate, THash> [class] generic arguments changed
    • Note: a TCompare generic argument will be added in a future version when the Omnitree rewrite is complete
  • GraphWeightedMap<V, W>->GraphWeightedMap<V, W, TEquate, THash> [class] generic arguments changed

In place of types with reduced generic parameters, "New" static factory methods were added for data structures with functional generic parameters. For example, instead of var tree = new AvlTreeLinked<T>(); you now do var tree = AvlTreeLinked.New<T>();. Static factory methods are more modular that creating custom types for purposes of defaulting generic parameters.

Multiple methods not listed above were converted to "TryXxx" patterns for better versatility and exception handling.

Bug Fixes:
