kangaru v4.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-12-11 // over 6 years ago

  • I'm happy to announce that kangaru 4.0.0 is officially out!

    👍 Kangaru is an inversion of control container for C++11 and later. We support features like operation between containers, injection via function parameter, automatic call of member function on instance creation and much more!

    Our goal is to create a container capable of automatic, recusive dependency injection. We also want to do most diagnostics at compile time, while keeping the simplest interface possible. On top of that, we don't want to be intrusive into user/library code.

    For more information, please take our readme a tour!

    A great number of things has changed, and some of those are breaking changes. We still want the transition to be as smooth as possible, so we added a compatibility header that cover most of cases, and a migration guide.
