v0.3

v0.3: The "fast assets" release

This is a minor release that copies asset files (like images and fonts) much faster by not treating them like esd files 👾. Between releases we also added a new quick start project template. Give it a try, it's free. ✨

Minor Improvements

• #7 A public directory is no longer required.
• #6 Copying assets is much faster.
• #5 Added a -v switch to the command line for verbose output.
• #2 Logging the speed in milliseconds
• #8 Running ESD no longer requires the Microsoft visual c++ redistributable

Hotfix

A minor hotfix has been uploaded from commit 9ee2197

• Verbose flag check was incorrect
• We were attempting to delete temp files that were never created (causing a warning in the logs we don't need)

Introducing Electrostatic Discharge v0.1

In this version of ESD we are multi-platform and very nearly feature complete. This version is considered stable but incomplete and is ready for testing.

Supported features

• Include components with {include:path}
• Declare variables in Vars.txt with name=value on new lines.
• Substitute variables from Vars.txt

Unsupported features

• Ability to declare variables in source files with {variable:name=value}

Known issues

• Circular includes are not handled.
• Line endings for Vars.txt are expected to match your local OS.
• Paths printed in windows have mixed / and \ separators.
• You may require a C++ runtime dynamic library to use esd. To be investigated.
