Dear All,

It is my pleasure to announce release of 2.0.0 of ocaml-protoc-plugin.

Highlights for this release

  • Moved to a new name: The main module have been renamed to Ocaml_protoc_plugin (from Protobuf), to avoid conflicts with projects still using ocaml-protoc
  • Messages with only one field are not wrapped in a record by default. This can be controlled by the option singleton_record.
  • Oneof structures with only one field are not wrapped in a Polymorphic variant (controlled by option singleton_record)
  • Added googles well known types

The release is available through opam: opam install ocaml-protoc-plugin.2.0.0,
or from github

Full changelog

  • Add examples
  • (*)Oneofs with only one element should not be a variant type

  • Add google well know types (library ocaml-protoc-plugin.google_types).
  • (*)Move module to ocaml-protoc-plugin
  • Optimize deserialization of large nested structures
