__3.1.4__

__3.0.19__

_Hennadii Chernyshchyk_
_Anton Filimonov_
_Jonas Kvinge_
__3.0.18__
----------
* Fallback to standard QApplication class on iOS and Android systems where
the library is not supported.
* Added Build CI tests to verify the library builds successfully on Linux, Windows and MacOS across multiple Qt versions.
_Anton Filimonov_
__3.0.17__
----------
* Fixed compilation warning/error caused by `geteuid()` on unix based systems.
_Iakov Kirilenko_
* Added CMake support
_Hennadii Chernyshchyk_
__3.0.16__
----------
* Use geteuid and getpwuid to get username on Unix, fallback to environment variable.
_Jonas Kvinge_
__3.0.15__
----------
* Bug Fix: sendMessage() might return false even though data was actually written.
_Jonas Kvinge_
__3.0.14__
----------
* Fixed uninitialised variables in the `SingleApplicationPrivate` constructor.
__3.0.13a__
----------
* Process socket events asynchronously
* Fix undefined variable error on Windows
_Francis Giraldeau_
__3.0.12a__
----------
* Removed signal handling.
__3.0.11a__
----------
* Fixed bug where the message sent by the second process was not received
correctly when the message is sent immediately following a connection.
_Francis Giraldeau_
* Refactored code and implemented shared memory block consistency checks
via `qChecksum()` (CRC-16).
* Explicit `qWarning` and `qCritical` when the library is unable to initialise
correctly.
__3.0.10__
----------
* Removed C style casts and eliminated all clang warnings. Fixed `instanceId`
reading from only one byte in the message deserialization. Cleaned up
serialization code using `QDataStream`. Changed connection type to use
`quint8 enum` rather than `char`.
* Renamed `SingleAppConnectionType` to `ConnectionType`. Added initialization
values to all `ConnectionType` enum cases.
_Jedidiah Buck McCready_
__3.0.9__
---------
* Added SingleApplicationPrivate::primaryPid() as a solution to allow
bringing the primary window of an application to the foreground on
Windows.
_Eelco van Dam from Peacs BV_
__3.0.8__
---------
* Bug fix - changed QApplication::instance() to QCoreApplication::instance()
_Evgeniy Bazhenov_
__3.0.7a__
----------
* Fixed compilation error with Mingw32 in MXE thanks to Vitaly Tonkacheyev.
* Removed QMutex used for thread safe behaviour. The implementation now uses
QCoreApplication::instance() to get an instance to SingleApplication for
memory deallocation.
__3.0.6a__
----------
* Reverted GetUserName API usage on Windows. Fixed bug with missing library.
* Fixed bug in the Calculator example, preventing it's window to be raised
on Windows.
Special thanks to Charles Gunawan.
__3.0.5a__
----------
* Fixed a memory leak in the SingleApplicationPrivate destructor.
_Sergei Moiseev_
__3.0.4a__
----------
* Fixed shadow and uninitialised variable warnings.
_Paul Walmsley_
__3.0.3a__
----------
* Removed Microsoft Windows specific code for getting username due to
multiple problems and compiler differences on Windows platforms. On
Windows the shared memory block in User mode now includes the user's
home path (which contains the user's username).
* Explicitly getting absolute path of the user's home directory as on Unix
a relative path (`~`) may be returned.
__3.0.2a__
----------
* Fixed bug on Windows when username containing wide characters causes the
library to crash.
_Le Liu_
__3.0.1a__
----------
* Allows the application path and version to be excluded from the server name
hash. The following flags were added for this purpose:
* `SingleApplication::Mode::ExcludeAppVersion`
* `SingleApplication::Mode::ExcludeAppPath`
* Allow a non elevated process to connect to a local server created by an
elevated process run by the same user on Windows
* Fixes a problem with upper case letters in paths on Windows
_Le Liu_
__v3.0a__
---------
* Deprecated secondary instances count.
* Added a sendMessage() method to send a message to the primary instance.
* Added a receivedMessage() signal, emitted when a message is received from a
secondary instance.
* The SingleApplication constructor's third parameter is now a bool
specifying if the current instance should be allowed to run as a secondary
instance if there is already a primary instance.
* The SingleApplication constructor accept a fourth parameter specifying if
the SingleApplication block should be User-wide or System-wide.
* SingleApplication no longer relies on `applicationName` and
`organizationName` to be set. It instead concatenates all of the following
data and computes a `SHA256` hash which is used as the key of the
`QSharedMemory` block and the `QLocalServer`. Since at least
`applicationFilePath` is always present there is no need to explicitly set
any of the following prior to initialising `SingleApplication`.
* `QCoreApplication::applicationName`
* `QCoreApplication::applicationVersion`
* `QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath`
* `QCoreApplication::organizationName`
* `QCoreApplication::organizationDomain`
* User name or home directory path if in User mode
* The primary instance is no longer notified when a secondary instance had
been started by default. A `Mode` flag for this feature exists.
* Added `instanceNumber()` which represents a unique identifier for each
secondary instance started. When called from the primary instance will
return `0`.
__v2.4__
--------
* Stability improvements
* Support for secondary instances.
* The library now recovers safely after the primary process has crashed
and the shared memory had not been deleted.
__v2.3__
--------
* Improved pimpl design and inheritance safety.
_Vladislav Pyatnichenko_
__v2.2__
--------
* The `QAPPLICATION_CLASS` macro can now be defined in the file including the
Single Application header or with a `DEFINES+=` statement in the project file.
__v2.1__
--------
* A race condition can no longer occur when starting two processes nearly
simultaneously.
Fix issue [#3](https://github.com/itay-grudev/SingleApplication/issues/3)
__v2.0__
--------
* SingleApplication is now being passed a reference to `argc` instead of a
copy.
Fix issue [#1](https://github.com/itay-grudev/SingleApplication/issues/1)
* Improved documentation.
