Breaking Changes

On this page we'll document breaking changes across versions.

1.7.0

• UE 5.5 deprecated StructUtils plugin, thus we'll need to setup multiple uplugins for UE5. See: DataConfigXX.uplugin

1.6.0

• Added a optional FName to FDcSerializer/FDcDeserializer::AddPredicatedHandler which can be used to identify an entry so one can replace it later like this:

  Ctx.Deserializer->PredicatedDeserializers.FindByPredicate([](auto& Entry){
  return Entry.Name == FName(TEXT("Enum"));
  })->Handler = FDcDeserializeDelegate::CreateStatic(DcEngineExtra::HandlerBPEnumDeserialize);
  

• Removed DcDeserializeUtils/DcSerializeUtils::PredicateIsUStruct. Use FDcSerializer/FDcDeserializer::AddStructHandler instead. It's more accurate and overall gets better performance.

  For an concrete example, change this:

  Ctx.Deserializer->AddPredicatedHandler(
      FDcDeserializePredicate::CreateStatic(DcDeserializeUtils::PredicateIsUStruct<FMsgPackTestSuite>),
      FDcDeserializeDelegate::CreateStatic(HandlerMsgPackTestSuite)
  );
  

  to this:

  Ctx.Deserializer->AddStructHandler(
      TBaseStructure<FMsgPackTestSuite>::Get(),
      FDcDeserializeDelegate::CreateStatic(HandlerMsgPackTestSuite)
  );
  

  and that's done. For more details see: Serializer Deserializer Setup.

• Move many DataConfigEditorExtra content to the new DataConfigEngineExtra runtime module so it can be used at runtime. This is mostly for the blueprint nodes to be available at engine runtime.

1.5.0

• Renamed EDcDataEntry::Nil to EDcDataEntry::None. This is a fix for MacOS build.
