4.7. Dynamic Data

4.7.1. Problems with int8/uint8 support

Previous releases of Connext had problems supporting int8/uint8. There were issues serializing/deserializing the type and getting/setting the values with DynamicData.

Support for int8/int8 has been improved. Generated code will now send and receive the data correctly in all languages. The only pending issue (not yet fixed in this release) is int8/uint8 collection in Python (RTI Issue ID CODEGENII-1912). This release also adds a method to DynamicData to set and get the data with the correct type and sign. This release provides a Java method to access unsigned integers.

This fix does not change the Type Kind on the wire. Features and products, such as Admin Console, that rely on the Type Kind for the data will not be able to detect the type correctly.

4.7.2. Connext did not print array dimensions for aliases that were arrays

When printing the type information for a type that is an alias of an array type, the array dimensions are now output for both the IDL and XML representations.
